So, You're A Candidate for SU AD

[Dave85]

Stop taking things so literal, you're above that mindset.

When say literal, do you mean as in every word?

This is like the mortgage crisis all over again...'but this is my dream house!!! How dare you foreclose on me! Bank A said I could and should live here!!'
Bank A also took stated income and let you buy a home 3x as much as you should and could buy, so now I have to suffer???
You're out, unless you can pay...

This is a little off topic and people have strong ideas about the "mortgage crisis". I just want to say years ago before Gramm–Leach–Bliley Act when the people originating the loan were also the people who held the note things seemed to work better. When the people originating the loans had skin in the game it worked pretty well in preventing toxic sub-prime mortgages. Just saying.

Not in charge of division=FAIL.

Fun excersize, I clearly...(sigh) again...won.

Well, you got a nice lunch at kimmel out of it. If you consider that winning, good for you. You do know that coaches when they get hired as head coaches in the NFL or managers in MLB, don't get to hire all of their coaches, right?

So you want an AD that doesn't have an edge or ego? I think it's a pretty prominent position that should go to someone with a sturdy backbone.

Secondly, how do we really know that Hopkins is the best available option? Especially from the standpoint of an outsider (non-SU affiliated) AD candidate?

The guy has been joined to the hip with Jim Boeheim and SU basketball since 1988. Institutional knowledge alone of why we have and have not signed kids since then, a million reasons. To say this is a job interview with say 3 really solid candidates in this case is way off.

what are the odds that the best person for the job just happens to be the assistant coach already there? Hiring from within is often times a losing prop

 

[AlpharettaCuse]

Do we have confirmation that there is actually a contract?

He has a contract according to this
