OT: Washington to hire Syracuse assistant Mike Hopkins as new Head Coach

[BeardedAxeWound]

"Hopkins, a California native, went 4-5 as interim head coach in 2015-16 while Boeheim was suspended."
No other head coaching experience.

Woof.

So evidently either he doesn't believe Boeheim will actually retire after next season or he doesn't feel that he is the heir apparent.

I'd rather live in Seattle than Syracuse.

Or he thinks Boeheim is mailing it in, leaving the cupboard bare?

 

[terrehawk]

Or, he wants to build his own legacy as opposed to replacing a legend

I would much rather take over a program that's struggling and build it my own way and create our own expectations

 

[HerkyHopeful]

We have our answer, boeheim just signed an extension

 

[bdg8]

It's not like he can't just leave for Syracuse when the job opens up. Unless he has a massive buyout

We have our answer, boeheim just signed an extension

He realizes that he's got more cheatin' to do!
