Private Jet on Officials?

From their board:

Both their titles in 2011 and 2014 were complete flukes. Mediocre teams that caught fire and lightning in a bottle at the exact right time. JB also got his Cuse teams to 3 national title games, just like Calhoun. The only difference is that we lost two of those games—and one was against an all-time great juggernaut Kentucky team (1996), the other one on a last second shot (1987). Winning two more title games doesn’t make you infinitely better than our program.

Pretty sure it does.

The secret is that you don't value your time. You never get time back. I would guess you also don't place a dollar value on your time. Your loss of life. That's why I'm laughing.

We all go through the motions sometimes brotha, and now is my time.

And yet, somehow you have the time now too?

Even I can't discount the 4 titles. Calhoun might be the best coach in the modern era. But it's not now.

Unbelievable. Came close to a title in '87. Yeah, sell that to a recruit.

Sorry for the brief hiatus guys, I usually take a few moments to reflect on life in a zen like state while I drop the kids off at the pool. You guys really dont like me? I'm just trying to engage thoughtfully in a manner that can bring out the best in both fanbases.

You should really be concentrating on the road while you’re driving your kids to the pool.

Only thing I’d add to this great post would be if before his about face, he offered up this as a parting gift to Coach B:

Did this guy claim to have a kid? Pray for his family.

Am I on a Syracuse board? No. Don't care because I understand it's pointless. Also a lot of us are rich and have killer jobs since we are from CT. Sorry bro.

Goes to show the value of a SU education.

3:1 is an incalculable value.

Thanks for clearing this up.

Hold up, I'm on the wrong forum?

 

[Lthusker456]

Honestly just trying to break boneyard records for views/replies/likes(not likely) or all of those pointless accolades.

Is your sig real? 900+ days?! Holy shiitake mushrooms

We got a new coach.

 

[CL82]

syracuse fan trolling uconn board because they got an official visit from a recruit is a new low i thought i'd never see

It's sad really. They were once such a plucky, gritty bunch.

 

[Lthusker456]

I'm sorry guys

 

[kansashusky]

I'm sorry guys

This is a serious question because I am genuinely curious. What does Syracuse do for a head coach when Jimmy B stops? Is it still Mike Hopkins?

No. It is the dude that is a weird mix of Vanilla Ice and Eminem.

He's a friendly troll handing out free likes to every post that isn't his lol.

We have no idea. Don't know if Hopkins would even want to return to Syracuse if given the opportunity to take over in a few years, after what happened a couple of years ago. Hop is from the West Coast and seems to be doing very well (even if it's only been 1 year so far). He has young kids, and moving cross country two times within a few years with a family is tough, even if SU were to offer him more money.

On the flip side, he was aruably Syracuse's main (and best) recruiter for nearly 20 years. His connections on the East Coast and Northeast run far and deep. When it appeared that he was ~12 months away from taking over at SU, he said he would mix up the 2-3 zone with M2M and press defenses, while recruiting the same type of players. I think he could succeed at SU. It's a matter of 1) will the new AD Wildhack do a national HC search and try to get a guy like Buzz Williams (just an example), go for a young up and coming head coach, or would be value Hop's familiarity with Syracuse/Northeast and value his likely long-term commitment to the program.

tl;dr - we have no idea who will be the SU coach in 3-4 years

I think Hopkins would do very well at Cuse and would be a good hire.

I think Hopkins would do very well at Cuse and would be a good hire.

SU fans are split on him, and maybe going to Washington is a chance for him to succeed on his own for a few years away from JB's shadow. Some fans only look at how Hop struggled in 2015-2016 when JB was suspended.

Makes you wonder if Kevin Ollie would've fared any better at UConn if he coached at USC for 4-5 years before returning as head coach at UConn.
