Syracuse, N.Y. -- Syracuse University assistant coach Mike Hopkins is taking over as the head coach at the University of Washington, according to several media reports.
Hopkins, a former Syracuse player and longtime assistant to SU coach Jim Boeheim, had been expected to succeed Boeheim after the 2017-18 season.
Hopkins will replace Lorenzo Romar, the former Washington head coach who was fired last week. -
This. He coached under Boeheim for 20 years, but he probably would have a head coaching job already if he was any good. This is underwhelming at best.whlinder said:Who?

Way rather have Tony Bennett.

Doesn't make my heart sing but it's not bad. If he can bring some east coast toughness, length and anything remotely looking like Syracuse, it's better than a hole in the head.

I'm down for that Syracuse 2-3 zone

Mike Hunt?

Perhaps he will be able to teach IMA players how to play a proper zone

I would assume he isn't an alcholic crispy cunt like Sark but i've been wrong before.NeGgaPlEaSe said:backthepack said:

you compared altman to hopkins lol
altman who was 327-176 as a head coach at creighton
hopkins who has never ran his own program before (but went 4-5 as interim coach)
...okay

Altman was not an assistant. He also was winning as a coach.whuggy said:

He's not Altman as some have laid out, he's not Sark either. He's not sizzle he's steak, just not sure yet if he's sirloin tips or filet. He's had multiple real programs who wanted him as their coach. I don't love it, but it's better then most of the names we've seen thrown out.
I'm in LIPO but I'm cautiously optimistic. -
Syracuse plays defense and isn't afraid to get their hands dirty in recruiting, that's promising
-
Like Canadian Citizenship DIRTY? If yes, I like the hire.dnc said:Syracuse plays defense and isn't afraid to get their hands dirty in recruiting, that's promising

It's why given most of the names on the list I was so vocal about shooting at the top end of the list because so many of those names lack in one way or another to think that they'd be a good to great hire.
With Hopkins there are at least aspects of his resume that suggests that he COULD be a good one.
And anybody that thinks that this is another Sark situation isn't paying any attention ... Sark parlayed some free pub with opportunity to take a job before he was ready. Hopkins has done all the work necessary to be (over) qualified to take on a job ... there's something to be said about being picky about the opportunities that one would take. -
He isn't being picky. He lobbied hard and interviewed for the USC and Oregon State (lol) jobs and was shot down both times.Tequilla said:

That's Jim Boeheim. We're talking about Mike Hopkins. No one knows.dnc said:Syracuse plays defense and isn't afraid to get their hands dirty in recruiting, that's promising

That's why I said promising. I understand there aren't guarantees, but he's more likely to lean Boeheim's way than not.Gladstone said:

Where are you getting he lobbied hard for those jerbs and didn't get them? I had read otherwise, but I'm not confident that my info is better than yours here. -
From what I've read the USC situation was hit or miss as he was interested in the job but Syracuse made a run to the Final Four and that pushed them to make the decision to take on Enfield versus the potential that Hopkins wasn't going to take the job ... apparently SC also didn't feel like he was ready to leave Syracuse.
I've heard nothing on Oregon State other than what you're saying @Gladstone ...
The USC/UW jobs would be more consistent with what he's publicly stated on the types of jobs that he'd be willing to take -

Beat out by Tinkle, but let's Doog it up
"Montana coach Wayne Tinkle, Syracuse assistant Mike Hopkins finalists for Oregon State Beavers' head coaching job" -
There are things to be optimistic about but it's a little disheartening to hire an assistant. I can't recall any former assistant getting a P-5 job and becoming great.
That said I kind of figured UW would hire a younger, up and coming coach. Maybe we found our Billy Donovan.
