None of that is true.  I don't even know where to start. first, Hopkins interview with Washington was in Syracuse last FRIDAY.  hop did have the guarantee that he would be the Head coach after next season.  that was in writing.  There were large penalties to the University if Hop wasn't the coach after next season. Let's remember, Hop was going to take the USC job just two years ago.  He wanted that job badly.  Hop considers the Washington job better.  He got more years and more $$.  Throw in that Hop didn't want to push JB out knowing that Jb wanted to stay.  Throw in that the current A.D. inherited the Hop deal and Hop knew it.   how much job security did Hop have with Wildhack?  He got a whiff of that with the 4-5 record last year.  Hop was very surprised at the reaction he got from Syracuse fans over that.  He realized he didn't have as much good will as he thought he did.  That is what it came down to.  Hop wasn't forced out.  In the end, he just got a better deal.  The last guy had to miss the NCAA tournament 6 straight years to get fired.  He went 4-5 here and people wanted someone different. What would you have done if you were Hop?
