@GoodmanESPN: Syracuse will formally name assistant Mike Hopkins as “head coach designate”, sources told ESPN. Hopkins will take over for Boeheim in 2018.

Know nothing about Hopkins but this has the feel of Louie/ Mahoney. Hopkins waited too long for the job.

He will only be 48. Must really enjoy the snow.

Minus the several national championships.

Is that addition by subtraction? I don't really understand the new math.

Didn't they announce this like 4-5 years ago without the sell by date on Boeheim? I guess it's just reconfirming officially?

But Hopkins has not proven himself a failure yet, like Mahoney did at Manhattan.

The below is a quote from the linked article in which SU's new Athletic Director Mark Coyle is asked about continuing the brand "New York's team"

Question:
On whether he'll continue to "brand" the Orange as "New York's College Team":

Answer:
"I didn't know we had advertising in Yankee Stadium or on cabs or any of that. But I want to make sure about what we're doing right here. Because your core is right here. The Carrier Dome can be an incredible home-field advantage. And my goal is to do everything I can do to get the place rocking on game days because that creates a great experience for our student-athletes and our fans.

"Obviously, New York City is a huge market, an important market, for Syracuse for a lot of reasons. But I want to just focus on here now. I need to talk with the chancellor and see what his vision is for the university. But I'll get my arms around it."

I think Hopkins has set the record for having the longest tenure as "coach in waiting"
He was so designated at least 4-5 years ago

I guess we can remove Norm from the list of candidates for that job

SJU should take ads in Syracuse to tweak SU.
