OT: Mike Hopkins gets his dream job

[B1GEast]

syracuse fans seem to think he'll have the consistency that we had with KO, but I see him more of the bill guthridge type during UNC's transition, he'll fail eventually too

Bill Gutheridge coached 3 seasons; he reached the NCAAs each year, and made the Final Four twice.

He probably shouldn't have made the tournament in 2000--but that team got hot and made the Final Four regardless.

Syracuse makes the Final Four once a decade (1975, 1987, 1996, 2003, 2013), so Gutheridge would be a huge step up.

Now it's his dream job that's funny. He's been trying to get out of that *hole town for years, no one wants to live in West NY.

but in the end, guthridge was exposed, he had talent, but UNC was never the program it was for many years after dean smith retired, then matt doherty managed to drag the program down further, if that was even possible, my point is that I don't believe hopkins is the guy to keep the program going, they should have waited.

My point is that Gutheridge accomplished in 3 years what it typically takes Syracuse two decades to accomplish.

But, yeah, I do take your point. More commenting on Syracuse than trying to suggest you were wrong.
