I think Red deserves a shot at the head coaching position and I think he will get it.2 good years, 2 REALLY bad years. Probably gets one more as the rubber match or they can just eat the contract and fire him and to be honest I would probably fire him if they can make the $ work. He has been horrible the past 2 years at UW there is no denying that, I just don't know why you seem to revel in it and continue to post here about it. The UW job does stink though and the program will most likely need a miracle to ever be anything but mediocre. If Hop can't get a HC job at a smaller school in the Northeast, I wouldn't be shocked if he winds up as an NBA assistant
I don't want him back at Syracuse as the HC and I have always been in the boat that Syracuse should hire the best coach for the job when JB retires. I do like Hop and appreciate everything he did here while at Syracuse. Also, stop with the hire him at Syracuse B.. S... Like I said, he has been horrific at UW the past 2 years

I like Red, but what are his qualifications and if he’s so highly regarded why haven’t others schools been knocking on his door?I think Red deserves a shot at the head coaching position and I think he will get it.
Ever hear the phrase “that ship has sailed”?You have zero clue on that statement. Dont be “that guy” who makes uneducated statements like this.
He also let Porter go without a fight. UW could have been better, even with one year of MP Jr.I don't think the roster management issues would exist at Syracuse for Hop as he could bring in solid recruiting classes every year bringing in a core of solid 4 star recruits that would stay 3 or 4 years plus the occasional 5 star.
Porter was a package deal with his dad.He also let Porter go without a fight. UW could have been better, even with one year of MP Jr.

So you'd prefer Hop who I like but let's be honest,;he hasn't done very well at Washington. And if memory serves, when he filled in for JB, he didn't do much better?I like Red, but what are his qualifications and if he’s so highly regarded why haven’t others schools been knocking on his door?
LOL After that post, I give you credit for saying that with a straight face. RF, we are pals, but never, ever, say anything about me and then say and I love dasher.Why?
Because he landed a couple of mediocre recruits [in terms of national ranking]?
Because other programs are beating his door down offering head coaching opportunities?
Because he's a proven commodity with a proven track record of success at the P5 level?
If Red is the best we can do, then it's a sad commentary. And you won't find a bigger fan of Red as a player / coach here at SU than me.
How does one "fight" a recruit's decision to leave to go play with his father & brother??
When he had planned to play for his father at U-Dub before Romar was canned?

LOL I was joking. My post had zero to do with Red. Simply that you basically said that you don't want Red ( I don't disagree at all) and after more of that, added, and no one loves Red more than me. My point was, joking, for red's sake, God i hope that isn't true.Dasher, this is an obligatory qualifier -- because we go way back, and you know that I RESPECT both you and your opinions at the highest order of magnitude. Normally.
But if you honestly believe that Red is qualified to replace Boeheim, or are of the mindset that he "deserves" to be Boeheim's replacement, than I'm embarrassed to say that I think I've vastly overestimated your strategic acumen, which pains me to say. And, I think, I'm more than happy to part at this fork in the road with respect to this discourse, because of said respect that I have for you.
It's one thing to suggest that he should be in a list of candidates. It's quite another to suggest that he is "qualified," given the current state of his resume, or that based upon any objective criteria that he would be the "best" candidate ADJW could line up, given his qualifications.
Identify and hire the best candidate. Period.
I'LL SEE YOU IN HELL, DASHER!!!LOL I was joking. My post had zero to do with Red. Simply that you basically said that you don't want Red ( I don't disagree at all) and after more of that, added, and no one loves Red more than me. My point was, joking, for red's sake, God i hope that isn't true.

My bad, I completely misinterpreted your earlier post, sorry about that!

On the road and despite Quaid green two boner plays at endHop beat an NCAA tournament Colorado team last night after losing by 20 to them in December.
Unless the external candidate is a slam dunk companies should promote from within.Dasher, this is an obligatory qualifier -- because we go way back, and you know that I RESPECT both you and your opinions at the highest order of magnitude. Normally.

My two cents is any outside coach has to be special. Oats or of that caliber.
Red has long arms. He is well respected. I would give him an opportunity. 3 years. If he fails then there is a clear path to move from beyond the past.
He might not be a splashy pick but he is a solid pick.
