He's pissed for sure. somebody hit him in the face with a 50 pound flounder fast ball at that fish market
With all due respect its how I've run my companies my entire life. Unless you dont have a qualified internal transition or an exceptional external the risk of the outsider is considerable. The longer the current " administration" the greater the risk.Rarely in life is anything a slam dunk. Your entire premise is flawed.
This isn't a lifetime achievement award -- it's a performance driven, high profile job. You don't hire unqualified candidates, you don't bring in guys who are unproven, you don't hire someone who requires on the job training
Two wins in a row for the Purple People Eaters. Congrats Hop!
Wait, did you just pull out the “With all due respect...” card...about yourself?With all due respect its how I've run my companies my entire life.

JB has built an amazing program for over close to half a century.
The assistant coaches are just the surface. All of the support staff, key donors, former players, BOT and the majority of the fan base love him.
To go outside the family is extremely dangerous. Im glad JW has a lifetime of business experience to understand this.

We are on the same page. I personally feel as if Hop is very qualified and Red deserves an opportunity. But as we agree. JW will do his due diligence and make a solid hire.Good for you.
That premise assumes that there is even a qualified candidate in place to begin with. The next program that offers either Red or GMac will be the first. Let that sink in, and then come tell me again why either of them should even get a sniff at the HC role at Syracuse -- a program that is #5 in all-time wins. And while I know that the fanbase is enamore with Hopkins, his performance these past two years at Washington call his acumen substantially into question, as well -- right, wrong, or indifferent.
You could make the case that there isn't an adequately qualified candidate among them. Certainly not one for a program of our caliber.
JB is and always has been the program, but that era is rapidly drawing to an end. You don't just extend hoping to hang reverentially onto a bygone era -- you move forward. Honestly, it is amazing to me how many people fear change, or don't recognize that change brings risk but also OPPORTUNITY.
And thank got we have JW to apply his lifetime of business experience to understand that you don't hire unqualified candidates into such important roles. Gambling on unproven talent is easier at lower levels of an organization, but the consequences of failure ratchet up significantly and exponentially when you hire unproven commodities who might not have the chops for the role.
That's why doing full due diligence is the right approach, and EXACTLY how I expect JW to approach this important change.
Besides, the goal isn't continuity -- we're losing 12 - 14 games a year currently!
Do you feel Hop or Red are as qualified as a guy like Oats?We are on the same page. I personally feel as if Hop is very qualified and Red deserves an opportunity. But as we agree. JW will do his due diligence and make a solid hire.

I think that Oats and Hop are equal. I would give Hop the nod for SU because of his time spent with the program.Do you feel Hop or Red are as qualified as a guy like Oats?
Great post. Cut and paste it for every future JB replacement thread. Because there will be many more.Good for you.

And while I know that the fanbase is enamored with Hopkins, his performance these past two years at Washington call his acumen substantially into question, as well -- right, wrong, or indifferent. At minimum, it should be a major red flag.

If I thought that Oats and Hop were equal, I'd agree. I love Hop and he bleeds Orange. However, I'm guessing their W-L percentage wouldn't indicate them being close to equal.I think that Oats and Hop are equal. I would give Hop the nod for SU because of his time spent with the program.
There really isn't one. Other than Hopkins having association to our program, which on the list of evaluative criteria should probably be ranked quite a bit below several other more important factors.Other than the fact that Hopkins would maybe come cheaper, I struggle to see the argument for him being equal to Nate Oates.
Alabama BTW is 13-3 and ranked in the top ten in the AP poll and in KP.
Unless we can recruit MCW, Dion, Jerami Grant, CJ Fair, and Christmas again. Super athletic guys with length that can also play offense.I’m done with seeing straight zone. You can’t consistently beat the better ACC teams playing all zone. Rebounding just kills us. Talent wins and there is a severe lack of it at SU right now. There’s a reason we’re just middle of the pack in the ACC.
