He got an extension of unspecified time when Hopkins was hired by UW. I suspect that the AD didn’t renew him and move to the future

I find that Boeheim interview very strange. If you don't say you are -- coshokie Mar 09, 2023 at 10:33 AM ET

I always like the Al Groh poetry angle on his final presser** -- Jethro Tull Mar 09, 2023 at 03:55 PM ET

he should have left when his son was done...that made perfect sense.... -- ME Hokie 07 Mar 09, 2023 at 01:17 PM ET

Pretty much what I was thinking. Should have left when son left** -- coshokie Mar 09, 2023 at 01:31 PM ET

Yep, he threw his own ‘legacy’ in the trash due to his pride** -- HOKIE1 Mar 09, 2023 at 12:22 PM ET

Probably so greedy he wanted a severance package. Money!** -- WildTurkE Mar 09, 2023 at 11:20 AM ET

He was true to his character. Quite the Asshat during the presser. ** -- D-Day Mar 09, 2023 at 10:52 AM ET

He also said he made his retirement announcement last week.... -- vtbball80 Mar 09, 2023 at 10:38 AM ET

Sarcasm. Whatever he said is now his retro retirement speech. -- TomTurkey Mar 09, 2023 at 12:09 PM ET

I think he wanted the university to “demonstrate” they wanted him back. -- Femoyer Hokie Mar 09, 2023 at 10:46 AM ET

I'm pretty sure he had already been told that was not an option** -- coshokie Mar 09, 2023 at 10:47 AM ET

coshokie • 03/09/23 10:47 AM ET

I would hate to forever look back on that last interview as how I left. -- coshokie Mar 09, 2023 at 10:46 AM ET

They probably tried to make it a good situation, but it is Boeheim -- turkeywinghokie Mar 09, 2023 at 10:45 AM ET
