Schertz: how close were we?

[Capt. Tuttle]

I posted this in coach search after autry thread, but here's the full tweet... IF true, he was coming with an improved NIL/rev share bag from us (but not the full amount GMAC is getting...)

If true, I think an outstanding job by ADBB, given the constraints

certainly possible, do you think someone with SU fed curry hicks the narrative he tweeted?

Make sense we let things like this out due to the stuff leaked from Goodman. Bad pub/Good pub

SLU's Schertz was bigger than ours.

What I'll say is that people should be very excited about ADBB. I've mentioned it before, but he was on top of things from the day he was brought on. And to be honest, something that I was wrong initially about was that the search was going to be a collaborative decision. Blair was fully in control of this, and he wasn't going to hire Gerry without first trying to pull a huge fish. He really pushed all his chips in last week.

But I do not think that Schertz ever really wanted to be the coach at Syracuse. Nevertheless, it wasn't because there wasn't a compelling offer on the table.

Any insight into Hodgson? Same as you said last week? We were very close with him but couldn’t come to an agreement? And JB tried to sandbag him and he got spooked?

I find some solace knowing we may have helped SLU overpay for a coach. I don’t even have a reason to dislike them, just glad we played the game.

At the end of the day, it was great that BB had an offer considered by Schertz, but it looks like he was just using it as leverage for a sweetener for SLU. Fair play to him. He got his sweetener.

Hodgson was already scared off prior with Boeheim pulling the strings behind the scenes...

No outside coach worth their salt was coming here (Schertz included) with Boeheim working against them from get-go... Nor should they.

It was always only GMAC methinks. We had no other real options. They were all effectively scuttled.

Has he returned his rental car to Enterprise?

What an old bastard. Never in a million years would I have ever believed there would be a day where I despise the old man but everything since about 2020 has been in the negative column and getting worse.

His scumbag agent needs to send a thank you to BB. Nice boost in his payday.
