Autry out at Syracuse

[CTBasketball]

The real funny one would be if Gerry turns them down.

They’re so desperate some would rather hire Luke Murray, someone who has zero HC experience, over most other candidates including GMac.

 

[BFieldHusky]

Their NIL package, ability to pay a coach, and facilities are miles better than most P4’s trying to also fund football.

Let alone fan base is a rabid sleeping giant right now.

Just spoke with someone very tuned into Providence. Providence is willing to throw 3.5 to 4 million at him. Plus guarantee him 10-12 million in NIL.

 

[UCFan1513]

Jokes aside would be a great hire for Providence

 

[FightOnCT]

This is pretty big blow for Syracuse. The guy is from Western NY. I feel like this is the equivalent of Hurley turning us down for Pitt or staying at URI.

Worse. Hodgson I believe has said before that Cuse was his dream job. Means that place is even worse than you’d think

 

[Vuce]

It's worth it @HooperScooper. Karma is a b**ch.

Omg you aren’t kidding. It is so entertaining seeing the posts after news came out that he turned Cuse down. Hahahahaha

Where in the world is Providence getting 10-12 in NIL? That would put them way ahead of what we’re spending…

Revenue sharing.

What do you think UConn is spending?

This would be like hiring dollar general Penny Hardaway

This is so rich - someone posted this lol

 

[uconngb]

It would be hilarious.

Getting replaced by someone called Master P sure wouldn’t look great on big brothers resume

Exactly. Providence should be much better than they are.

 

[FfldCntyFan]

So ASU is going after this guy?

 

[upstater]

Hodgson is from Olean. I wonder if he's like the Bonnies fans around here who hate Syracuse.

 

[gtcam]

Who cares about some mid major school in crap city in the snow belt of upstate NY. I forgot Cuse even has a men’s basketball team

 

[SeattleHoop]

We played them in LA back when I played AAU , I was the same age as Derozan and Jennings. Derozan jumped over my head in 8th grade for an alley oop dunk and that’s when I realized my pro potential was limited…

We actually went back and beat them the following year but that was because we had a monster down low who ended up playing TE at UW eventually. We just fed the post and surrounded him with shooters

Curious where they are in the stages of grief at this point…

Hodgson turning them down took them past denial and into anger. My guess is there’s a good contingent that have reached bargaining (“Gerry wouldn’t be too bad”). Lord knows there’s plenty of depression over there after realizing your job is less sought after than Providence. And I look forward to when they all come around to the acceptance that Hopkins will be the next Cuse coach.

Posters over there are saying Autry was kept on as a consultant and Boeheim is sabotaging the process so he can get McNamara in there. I believe it.

The WORST for them would be to “settle” for UConn’s SECOND assistant

 

[WhereistheDove?]

Top notch work….

 

[jostar1]

Brutal description of the Syracuse job at 5:07. "Syracuse basketball is irrelevant."

 

[KembaRunner]

Why don’t they want GMac? I’m so confused.

 

[NowInStorrs]

Well that's certainly a move that would make people say "Uhhhh...?"

 

[WhereistheDove?]

Why don’t they want GMac? I’m so confused.

Because he has only two seasons of head coaching experience and in his best season he went 13-7 in a weak conference with the highest NIL in the conference. I’m sure him being JB’s guy, after their last disaster with that, is not helpful. IMO it would be a really weak hire and very risky but it also doesn’t look like they have many good options

 

[uconngb]

I think you have that backwards…..lol

 

[Huskyforlife]

What do you think UConn is spending?

Do you remember where Norlander had us on his list going into this season? I wanna say it was 8-10 mil, but I’m not sure?
