I don't know but that tweet doesn't sound like someone who is thinking about leaving her current position.

She will take the job if offered.

So frustrating waiting and watching the program falling apart especially after reading Hillsman has a job in Brazil

This is going to be a rebuild no matter who takes the job or when that person starts.

 

[CuseLegacy]

May I ask why you think that she will take the job if offered. Just based on my experience as a corporate recruiter people often turn down offered jobs for a myriad of reasons.

I’m by no means a “source”, no where close, but am privy to some info in this particular case.

 

[Domedude3]

And I just heard it’s possible we hear something today.

 

[CoopSwoop]

Maybe no one wants it

Let's hope since we just lost 2 more players, ugh

Very hard to believe that; the interview process just takes time; if done correctly

Hopefully the new coach will be left with some players.

If you read their exit tweets, the only reason they both committed to Syracuse was to play for Coach Q.

Maybe the next coach can re-recruit them back?

Agree. With all the players that have left it is going to take several years to rebuild.
On hiring FLJ I have two concerns. First was her record at Indiana. Now I agree people can become better coaches with more experience. She has also done well in Buffalo. However the competition is not the same as the ACC.
My bigger concern is what happens if she is hired and does not succeed. She is not only a legacy but her jersey was just retired. It would be very difficult under those circumstances to fire her if she had multiple losing seasons. It could create a situation where it would take the women’s program a decade or more to recover.
Now she could be extremely successful and everything will be great. The big concern if she is not.

I had the same thought, they came here because of Q. Amazing they decided to stay for the year and I'm grateful they did.

 

[SDCuse114]

Damn, both Carrs are moving on… I don’t blame them. Hope we don’t lose anyone else, especially Teisha.

By the time we get a new coach, they will be on another team probably in the ACC.

If we hire somebody tomorrow, they might come back.

If this drags out for a couple of weeks, they gone.

Doubt it! Last year of college ball, would you play for a team that will struggle for wins or one where they might have NCAA tournament hopes?

Any coach coming in now even with portal is going to struggle to assemble a team.

 

[sutomcat]

John Wildhack is no fool. Pretty sure he understands a quick hire is needed to get the program on the road to recovery.

I am confident he will not sit in this for weeks.

I expect the hire announcement this week.

Nothing is guaranteed for any player who stay or enters the portal. It's a gamble, especially for players with only one more year of eligibility.

Unless the coach is still coaching their team. We need a coach who can rebuild back to and beyond where Coach Q was.
We need to have a Coach who can be here long enough to build the program back, and pass it on to the next coach.

I hope you are right, my heart cannot take another off season with all of the players abandoning ship.

Not to mention we likely have been working on this hire all year. I’ll admit I’m surprised we haven’t named someone yet. I’m sure weve done a lot of work already in the search however.

 

[Domedude3]

My source actually told me we “should” hear today but I didn’t use that word at the risk of getting roasted as it appears it may not be today after all. I’ll be shocked if we don’t hear tmrw or Friday.
