A more apt comparison would be comparing Hopkins lacrosse to Notre Dame in Football. Both teams with lots of tradition, high expectations from casual fans, and not a ton of sustained recent success

No, a more apt comparison would be Nebraska. A once great football power that has no foreseeable way out of regression towards mediocrity after joining the Big 10 in a changing college athletic landscape.

Thank you for bringing back the discussion! I thought i was going to read four more pages of FOGO / 2-way middie talk that belongs on the main JHU forum.

Has Nebraska won two B1G titles in the last five years?

What a massive failure by the braindead pencil neck geeks at Hop. As usual

Yeah, Hop sucks. But Petro is not the reason they suck. Petro is going to win a couple nattys at a place that will let him work, bookmark this post.

Hopkins issues are an extreme SJW infection, horrendous location, lack of a “fun” environment, extremely quastionable coeds, and generally not a lot to appeal to a lax bro or his family. Having a dope Med school doesn’t appeal to guys who plan on working at a hedge fund. And if guys were willing to live in a third world hovel of despair in exchange for academic “preftige” they’d choose Yale or UPenn. Hop is just sad.

Don't bother using logic with people who can barely comprehend reasoning.

Has Maryland? Football, from fogo's

Not sure what this has to do with getting a new coach at Homewood? Unless, of course, you take the reality seriously. That Bill B, was really going to be the next Hopkins coach. he was. Had one more season to prove its HIM: why they win....but the V-19 moved the plan ahead, and you can't blame all parties. At all.

Heard Bon Jovi's kid is a sick FOGO. He's a warrior, or, loves going down the line, old school.

The primary reason why people are frustrated is not due to Hopkins not winning championships year in and year out, it's due to the fact that the team is not blowing out teams like Mount Saint Mary's.

My top choice would be Jeff Tambroni. He's shown he can turn around the direction of programs (penn state is just 4 years removed from a 8-7 schedule and 5-9 before that). It should not be limited to Hopkins alums and does not need to be.

It's actually a silly discussion.

Not really. But this thread is about Hopkins next coach. So take it somewhere else.

What about Quint Kessenich?

Hopkins All American. Knows what he is talking about. Has his finger on the pulse of the game nationwide. High School players know him so he won't have a problem recruiting. He can represent the school well on TV. He can return to broadcasting after his career.

While we are at it....let's make Jay Bilas the coach at Duke when K retires. Maybe OSU should have hired Kirk Herbstreit when Urban stepped down?

I understand the sentiment of your post. Q certainly knows the game and is seemingly connected to the pulse. But contrary to what some may believe, actual job experience is required. Q talks about the sport being a meritocracy. So is coaching. This job goes to a seasoned head coach. I would be SHOCKED if they hired someone with less than five years head coaching experience.

Quint might be an interesting choice as an assistant, but not sure why he'd take such a pay cut.

. Ryan Polley Is the perfect fit for Homewood. If you have to google the name, you don't know the game.

Or, one of your kids went to BC and any and all things BU are verboten.

That was part of my point as well, just didn't see the discussion having a connection to the coaching selection predictions.

Of course, I also think it's a bit silly, on its face, to suggest that one would prefer to lose 80% of FO's rather than win them. But a topic best suited to another thread.
