Would you take Mike Hopkins as next coach?

[CardiacCuse]

would absolutely love him back on staff, but not as HC

yeah he would make a great asst coach...and red too...red could be like 3rd or 4th asst and keep doing his thing recruiting and being a cool guy with the players

 

[Trueblue25]

Only guy connected to JB that I could talk myself into

 

[bigmike]

Only Gerry or Griffin would cause me to be more flaccid than bringing back the guy who failed at Washington.

That’s a powerful word - “flaccid”well done.

 

[Briancuse]

I love hop, appreciate everything hes done. Hes an asst on a team thats 25 games under 500 right now. Its time to go outside the program.

Orange Nation radio show was talking about this possibility so buckle up unless insiders want to interject and set the record straight

Keep the seat warm until GMac is ready.

All the love in the world for Hop, but it's hard to imagine him getting an interview, even as a courtesy.

I've been on the Schertz/Skinn train, but I now have a strong sense that it's Hodgson and probably has been for a while. Would not be shocked if it's already pretty much a done deal unless he's holding out to see what other vacancies appear and raise his price, a la Schertz playing coy.

Where’s the voting option for

And this would be the same vote for ANY coaching candidate that is only being considered due to a Cuse connection.

Once again, with feeling:

Full national search.
Best possible coach available.
Pay that man his money.

Would you take Julie boeheim as the next coach?

That’s the outside the box thinking we need around here!

 

[Jasoncuse]

Absolutely not

But I wouldn’t be against him on the staff of Hodgson or Schertz.

Board know it alls will say what they want, they always do.

UW’s a bad basketball program. Hop ended up having his own problems, sure, but I dont think that was a true reflection of his ceiling as a coach. Id take him well before a lot of the names that pop up

There’s certainly options id hope we’d take ahead of him too, but he’s not a lame duck.

Tony Bland says hold my beer.

 

[Chip]

What year is this?

 

[CuseMan4]

Love Hop. Super nice dude. Have met him a bunch. Head coach no. He will likely get an interview which I’m fine with. Show some courtesy. Hop is a hell of an assistant coach though. Dude is a grinder on the recruiting trail , relates well with kids. Players LOVE him. He was the perfect good cop to JB’s good cop/bad cop. I would take Hop back in 2 seconds as the top assistant

 

[Cuse_NYC]

Maybe Hop can be associate HC and named HC in waiting???

Id jump in front of a Centro bus, if he was even seriously considered. And that goes for any former Cuse player

And we thought that the guy who said he would eat his cell phone if Russell signed with Cuse was extreme.

Why not Hop???? Duke and Carolina keep bringing back former coaches or players as coaches...and it has worked out for them...why not us? People on this thread don't want to acknowledge that is is more than a Coach! Cuse's problems and inability to become elite again...has more to do with Money than anything else. It's about quality players...

I have no idea why you are directing this at my post. I haven't posted a take on Hopkins. The post you are replying to was in reference to the guy jumping in front of a bus.

 

[Brian Orange]

Wonder how he would do as a college GM?

 

[Ottoman]

Once it was decided that we had to stay "in-house" for the last hire, the only legitimate candidates should have been Hop, Jason Hart, and Pitino (even though it would never happen). Hop probably would have been the final choice.

I think Wildhack has been itching for a national search for years now. So, it won't be Hop this time around. But he is a current NBA assistant, former coach-in-waiting, NCAA national champion, and Pac-12 Coach of the Year. We could do worse. His fundraising prowess here would be unrivaled - people just love Hop in Syracuse.
