How delusional or egomaniacal is Hop? He stunk.

I’d like to think he’s still pissed it didn’t go the way it was supposed to years ago so he tried to extract an extra pound of flesh.
While he was a failed P5 coach, he was still a P5 coach, something that Gerry cant say so his price probably was higher than Gerry's. He was more or less making Gerry's salary in 2021

Maybe, but he has no really good alternatives. That said I am very happy it didn't happen. It would have been a joke nationally.

Eh, he’s probably enjoying his nba gig, so he was just trying to truly make it worth his while to make the change.
All guessing of course.

Having bad experience is worse than having no experience.

Kenny Payne and his agent approve this comment with vigor.
I dont disagree, but thats likley not how he, or most coaches, think
Sound like someone should fire his agent. I don't understand why he didn't try his best to get a lower level HC College job when he got fired from Washington. Unless he did and no one was interested. The NBA experience does nothing when you have a not so successful Power Conference coaching stint prior on your resume. Which if it is the case, that no low major was interested in Hopkins right after Washington, how could his agent think they had any leverage on his personal salary negotiation at Syracuse lol. And when he didn't get the job was immediately turning attention to Siena. The entire thing is bizarre. Gerry is the type of riskier hire that is not fully proven, not unproven, but somewhat proven that makes it is easier to get behind.
