The silver lining around Hopkins leaving was that it gave everyone a chance to see what he could do at a high-major program. You can argue there's been some bad luck and UW isn't a great job, but I think everyone can agree that he hasn't impressed to the point where you'd feel comfortable giving him the keys.

Fact of the matter is Syracuse doesn't have a deep enough bench of "in the family" guys like UNC, Duke, Kansas or Arizona to keep their pool of Boeheim successors so narrow with any real hope of success. Does anyone seriously think Red, Griffin or GMac deserve the gig, given the last few years? Really.

Among guys with local ties I'd be absolutely thrilled with Nate Oats, but his buyout if he left after this season would be $10M, $7M if he left in 2024 (and he could re-up by then). Sean Miller may be more realistic financially, but I'd be happy with him too. Langel would be a leap of faith given his lack of high-major experience but he deserves a mention as well.
