Nick Carparelli

If that's how it works out, I'd be pretty freaking happy as a die hard Syracuse men's basketball fan.

I don't think I could hand pick a better outcome.

10000000% agree. A lot of breadcrumbs on the interwebs pointing to that too as well.

With that I’d like back too many hours of refreshing and posting the past couple weeks with the ideal outcome possibly closing into being a reality after weeks of worrying we might crash and burn.

I’ve heard they hired someone, it seems to point the direction others have stated.

I may or may not be in this category, too.

Alternatively,

Hi, my name is HtownOrange, I'm an Orange-aholic.

Would be surprising if Carparelli stuck with Hopkins instead of a more national search like a Hodgson or Shertz

Agree, but wait, is that 1 million or 10 million percent - my old eyes cannot differentiate without commas.

I hope Nick is prepared for all the "Why aren't we in a better bowl?" posts come December like everyone expected ADJW to control the ESPN programming.

Let's get to 6 wins first. Hopefully before Halloween.

Good call. We do have to actually qualify first.

My source, who has never let me down, told me this morning that NC has been selected as our next AD.

 

[HRE Otto IV]

So what I gather from this is TGD is a secret candidate this time around?

I see a bunch of concerns back in 2016 with Nick. Don't many of those concerns still exist?

 

[FloridaCuse]

No "white smoke" from Pete Thamel yet. He's usually the first to report these things, especially at SU.

I wouldn't expect a leak/announcement until next Monday; Tuesday at the latest.

What's this white smoke you are talking about?

Agree. They may have selected him already but I’m sure there’s some i’s to dot and t’s to cross to hammer out a final contact. Will take a few days most likely.

So maybe first thing Monday morning.

I'm going to say 10:00am presser.

Timing works as the ACC Tourney starts Tuesday and I'll assume that Wildhack has to be in Indy on Tuesday to join the NCAA committee meetings.

Good day to control the news cycle.

Can you summarize what those concerns were in 2016?

Sounds about right. Then as soon as Cuse is eliminated, the next day should comes the news about our current head coach. Then full steam ahead.

100% we need this done quickly and right

I meant from reading the thread not personally. There was a lot of talk about lack of experience in an Athletic Department.

I am not sure what I think yet. Outside of being a so called SU guy, I haven't seen people mention why they like him. Personally I love that he seems to be a Football guy as I care about that most. I also like that he is a Northeast guy.

That said it does seem like he is a Marketing/Brand guy. Not sure that fits being an AD. Ironically that would fit with the guy talked most about in this thread.


Edit
I also like that he seems to be an outsider, while still being connected to the university. I think we need to move forward and away from the past.

It will be ok because playoff bowls are already locked in.

There’s videos to produce and letters and email announcements to be put together. Do they want to have a press conference when the sports media will be at the ACC Tournament? I guess they could schedule it for Wednesday. As an alum, I received several emails from the University and a video from Chancellor Elect Haynie within minutes of his announcement. It also has to work for his schedule too.

NC’s first order of business is hiring a hoops coach, but 1b is to reassure Fran that nothing has changed.
