Mike Hopkins Reportedly Passed Over For Oregon State Head Coaching Job

Update: Sounds like Hopkins got passed over again. I love that Coach Hop is the coach-in-waiting for Syracuse but if I were his agent, I would consider it a curse.

Original: God dammit, I was having a lovely little Sunday...

Syracuse's Mike Hopkins and Montana's Wayne Tinkle are the two finalists for OSU's men's basketball vacancy, according to a source.

According to the source, Bob De Carolis has told players that he hopes to announce OSU's new coach Monday morning.

Tinkle, Hopkins and Cal's Travis DeCuire had phone interviews Friday. DeCuire and Damon Stoudamire are no longer being considered.

I suppose we can gather two things.

1. Hopkins really wants to be able to keep all those orange ties.

2. Hopkins really, really, really wants to be a head coach, like, right now.
