Kim English OUT as Providence’s HC

He hasn't turned them down yet, and might not. It's more them trying to get ahead of being rejected at the altar again

They also think that Hodgson made this public last night because they chose to go in another direction and will make an announcement as early as today. If so, they believe it’s Hopkins or Murray. (Don’t kill the messenger here)

USF has an OCS (football) opening for the 2027 season. If the money’s there, it’s a hell of a lot better of a gig than Providence. It’s at best a lateral move. If he can recruit well at South Florida, the Big Ten and SEC will come calling.

USF has money - lots of it.

Recruit? What are you talking about? Almost all that matters for recruiting now is money. Football is a massive money sucker for athletic programs and it is likely that most Big East jobs are better than the bottom P4 jobs because Providence doesn’t have to pay for an 85+ player football roster and there is no competition for NIL dollars.

Providence has the entire state of Rhode Island to work with for NIL. What the fudge does Syracuse have? Factories that closed in 1982 don’t pay NIL.

I’m not talking about Syracuse (though in theory that too should be a (much) better gig than Providence). I’m talking about USF. The Tampa Bay area population is 3x the entire state of Rhode Island. Also, Providence is a Catholic school, so a significant portion of said NIL gets taken off the board immediately.

USF has money - lots of it.

Yep.
