Washington can be the 3rd best job in the PAC-12 and you can win there but it’s not a better job than Syracuse.Hope you are right but I would not bet the ranch on it. I am in the unusual situation of having attended both schools and lived in both cities. The Pacific NW has a lot to offer.
Our next HC will be Hop. Gmac and Griff will stay on staff and Red will leave to take a HC job at a lower D1. Hop will then bring in a big man coach.
Hop is married. If you have not lived in the Pacific NW you do not know how desirable it is. Any move has family considerations. Another fact to consider is that UW can easily outbid Syracuse for salary. Chris Petersen gets 5 million. Syracuse fans glory in our history, but our recent history is that of a bubble team, nothing special in our league. If our history is so relevant why do we lose so many recruiting battles? Could he return - I can't predict but the odds are against it. Things seem to be about to change for the better. Time will tell.Washington can be the 3rd best job in the PAC-12 and you can win there but it’s not a better job than Syracuse.
The idea he wouldn’t go from Washington to Syracuse is wrong.
Roy Williams left Kansas for his alma mater in North Carolina.
At the end of the day Syracuse is his alma mater and if his alma mater came calling he would likely strongly listen.
There is a reason a special Syracuse buyout provision is part of his contract.

UNC is a top 2 job. Your analogy to Syracuse is horrible. It just is.Washington can be the 3rd best job in the PAC-12 and you can win there but it’s not a better job than Syracuse.

North Carolina in 2003 was a mess. Roy left a top 3 job in the nation for a rebuild.UNC is a top 2 job. Your analogy to Syracuse is horrible. It just is.
It’s still north Carolina. First or second best job in the country, by far. Kansas isn’t ever going to crack UNC and Kentucky at the top.North Carolina in 2003 was a mess. Roy left a top 3 job in the nation for a rebuild.
Why did he do it? Because North Carolina was his Alma mater and home.
Kansas is as good a job if not better.It’s still north Carolina. First or second best job in the country, by far. Kansas isn’t ever going to crack UNC and Kentucky at the top.
No, it’s not. Zero national champs while Roy was there. It’s just not.Kansas is as good a job if not better.
Roy got to Final Four in 1991, 1993, 2002, 2003.No, it’s not. Zero national champs while Roy was there. It’s just not.
Kansas is as good a job if not better.
Agree that UNC and Kentucky are the two best CBB jobs in the country. Kansas is right behind them at 3 or 4. But all of that is irrelevant because Syracuse is a much better job than Washington, especially for an alum like Hop.No, it’s not. Zero national champs while Roy was there. It’s just not.
No, it’s not. Zero national champs while Roy was there. It’s just not.
Question for those who know. I thought I heard one major reason for Hop moving was to be close to his father who at the time was not well. Is that accurate?

I'd much rather live in lexington or chapel hill than in the middle of Kansas.Kansas is as good a job if not better.
Didn't see $$$$ mentioned in your listSo, when you consider SU's recruiting proximity to Boston, NYC, Philly, Baltimore, DC, Canada, NE Prep Schools ... the Dome/Melo Center ... the ACC ... the heritage that comes with 50 straight winning seasons ... the fanbase/"basketball school" reputation ... current clean slate with the NCAA (sorry UL & KU) ... the AD/Chancellor, ... how many jobs are better?
Are you sure about that, or is that rumor.Washington can be the 3rd best job in the PAC-12 and you can win there but it’s not a better job than Syracuse.

Definitely a bit of an unknown with JAB having "always" drawn a less-than-market rate, hometown discount.Didn't see $$$$ mentioned in your list
