I've been hearing this from a friend since last week...His step sister knows the Hopkins, and said that it was pretty much a done deal.USC Head Coach Mike Hopkins.
All the stars seem to be pointing that way. Hope I'm wrong.
gotta think SC will put something in place now to keep him (if he's successful) from coming back to SU within 5 years
Unlikely.Come on down Herman Harried
any names you are hearing for replacements at this point?Unlikely.
Unlikely.
Couldn't care less if the replacement has former ties to SU. Neither Troy Weaver nor Rob Murphy did, and they were great for the program.
Get the best AC / recruiter you can, regardless of where he comes from.

Dude, SU coaches don't take assistants with them when they leave.Any thought on if Hop would be taking any additional assistants with him?
Don't know about SU coaches, but I think Jason Hart is an assistant at Pepperdine.Any thought on if Hop would be taking any additional assistants with him?

It's funny that some of us have commented over the years that we felt that Hop needed to get some head coaching experience before becoming head coach at Syracuse. Now that it might happen, I wonder how everyone still feels about that. I would think that if Hop is at USC, he will still get first right of refusal to still fill JB's shoes. Whether he is in a position to take it or not is a different story. My only concern, besides some obvious recruiting implications, is if any one else goes with Hop. I don't see it happening, but one can never be so sure. I would have to think that Tim O'Toole would slide into Hop's spot, but maybe not. Either way, it's not a bad thing.
