Bryan Hodgson Hired as New Providence Head Coach

This is a strong hire by Providence. Hodgson has a proven history of success. Enjoy the honeymoon.

The whole “revenue share is an advantage for the Big East” has been demonstratively proven false.

It was always ridiculous to expect schools with little revenue and who are in a class of universities that are currently struggling to maintain enrollment levels will somehow dominate in the rev share era.

Forget basketball, we can’t even be sure a school like Xavier will still exist in ten years.

Well, he's not wrong.

The hire is fine. What I’d say is this.

If he left USF after just one season, why would he stay at PC once he gets them good enough to get a bigger offer? I set the over/under of his PC tenure at 3 years.

It would have to be a really big job for him to leave Providence because they're paying him a lot and they have great NIL. It would mean Providence would be incredibly successful over the next three seasons. Win for both of them.

He’s an excellent coach and great for the big east. But PC has inflated their NIL from the start. Rumors they have 12-15 million to spend every year, yet they use their NIL on guys like Edwards, Powell, etc. it doesn’t add up.
Just 2 years ago PC was calling English the best coach in the BE. I’ll wait to see how Hogdson does in actual conference before declaring PC is “back” (what is back for a program that’s hasn’t been in the FF since 87????)

They had one of the top three most talented rosters in the Big East. Where are you getting they inflated their NIL? The most plugged in people in college basketball say they have great NIL.

Some of the big schools are facing similar problems. What is the role of a major state school that is effectively open admission like WVU, Mississippi State or Kentucky in the modern world? Cities will always need local colleges. Why does the world need all these lousy rural schools?

That said, if I was the President of Xavier, I would be scheduling a lunch with the President of University of Dayton for the next few weeks. Cincinnati metro doesn't need both to remain independent schools.

lol….they do not have $12M t0 $15M.

Hodgson was a good hire, as good a hire as you can make at a second-level kind of school like Providence. He’s going to have some resources, but having $10M or whatever he says he wants only puts him in the running for players.

He still needs to convince them to come to Providence.

Spare me with that. They had Vaaks and Jones. Where was the rest of the talent? Jason Edwards who couldn’t get on the court when healthy at the end of the year because he was a defensive sieve? Look how much Vandy improved without him. Duncan Powell? LOL. This fallacy that they were incredibly talented is hilarious to me. Maybe they had offensive ability but “top 3 talented” is insane to me

Cooley left and he was the highest paid coach in the Big East at the time at 4.9m. Georgetown gave him 6.0m a year.

Looks like they're paying Hodgson 1.5m a year?

Vaaks, Sellers, Jones, Oswin, Edwards, Mela...

You don't know more than Dan Hurley and other Big East coaches about basketball talent.

Hodgson's contract isn't public but he'll be making a lot more than that.

Here's where I got it. I'm guessing they have 2024 wrong and should be 2026, so take it all with a grain of salt.

This whole not having a football team theory making it easier on them has been debunked time and time again. If you don't have the money, you still don't have the money just because you don't have to fund a football team.

And the $21M or whatever isn't cap.

Brother what Dan says to be nice and what he really means can be different. He constantly talked about how good of a coach Kim was. Follow the results.

Watch the games, if you can't see those individual players are really talented I don't know what to tell you.

The whole conflating revenue and profit has been debunked time and time again. A program can make a lot of revenue, but if it is pouring all that cash into the incinerator that is P4 football, there will be nothing left for basketball.
 
This guy seems like an absolute perfect hire for the Friars! Watched the welcome presser (with 2K PeeCee fans in attendance!) and I think he is going to be a problem. The PeeCee games should be even more electric now.

Sellers is pretty darn good. Pretty sure he was their leading scorer. Providence had talent on that team. Mela was good too.
