If you are a Florida Democrat that voted for @AndrewGillum in the 2018 Dem. Primary….YOU are why @GovRonDeSantis is currently Governor. If you supported Gwen Graham, Ronnie D would be a blip on the radar map of history.

@PCFriarFaithful As a USF guy…explain the shark thing as well as why so many comments on X are just “Friar”? Is it a greeting?

It’s easy to win a press conference but it definitely feels like Hodgson understands the culture he is stepping into, how important PCBB is to the school and community, and how deranged (complimentary) and relentless the fanbase is. Thats all you can ask for Day 1.

@PCFriarsmbb @CoachBHodgson Meet him now, because he won’t be here long

Friartown, meet Coach Hodgson. ⚫️⚪️

@diddykongmsu @TorelloSports He is. He did a great job with USF this year and we are pissed he is leaving. That being said…he will truly be tested now.

@TorelloSports I don’t know anything about this guy, is he actually a good coach?

Providence head coach Bryan Hodgson to the current Friars roster: "If you leave Providence Basketball. I promise you in 4-5 months you are going to regret that decision." #pcbb #GoFriars #GreatWhite

@TheMrmattyG @TorelloSports 363 glorious days…

@TorelloSports he left USF after all of 12 months.

@TorelloSports Shouldn’t he want them to leave since apparently they aren’t very good? Plus he is probably bringing in 5-6 guys from USF to take their places.

@masonthewhite @CoachBHodgson @SSN_USF @BasesOnBulls Eventually we will get in a real conference and this nonsense will stop…eventually

What a pathetic explanation, USF was too small for u, we get it, ur a mercenary, we were rooting for this asshole a week ago and we all knew this was gonna happen, our coaches have one good season and they’re guaranteed gone, how tf does this cycle end besides being losers again? Freaking providence is plucking our coaches?

Lots of Bulls fans spent some hard earned money to make that journey to Birmingham

@CoachBHodgson @SSN_USF @BasesOnBulls We knew what you meant…and we are.

@SSN_USF @BasesOnBulls Can be upset*

@PCFriarsmbb He will be renting, not buying.

There’s a new shark in town 🦈

@TorelloSports Go dance on someone else’s grave

@SueLask @TorelloSports Golesh accomplished nothing. Hodgson accomplished something. Eff them both.

@TorelloSports So basically another Golesh

Hodgson has been Providence’s top target for about a week. They navigated talking to his camp through the Louisville prep. Hodgson told USF players Friday. Contract language and money and NIL and assistant stuff hammered out. USF has had a feeling all week. List was made.

@mattahmann @will_usf @RHiggins_USF He may have but we will never know sadly.

@GOPDEMSSUCK @will_usf @RHiggins_USF AAR was staying. We lost a legend.

We were informed by Coach Hodgson that he will be leaving to become the new head men’s basketball coach at Providence. Congratulations and thank you to Coach Hodgson, Jordan and Jett! We had an incredible season, including our second regular season championship in the last three years and our first conference tournament title in the last 36 years. This year’s team earned not one, but two championship banners for the Yuengling Center rafters, and we’re forever grateful to our student-athletes, Coach Hodgson, his family and his staff. Coach said he would come and win championships and he delivered on that promise by leading the most successful season in the history of our program. Rest assured, we did everything within reason to try and retain Coach for the long term. We will always be proactive and aggressive in working to retain high performing coaches, but equally as important, we will also always be the ultimate stewards of our department’s financial resources. Through candid conversations throughout this process, we have been preparing for this possibility in recent weeks. This includes working diligently to put our program in prime position to land the perfect leader to not only build on this special season, but to also help take us to even greater heights in seasons to come. Bulls Nation, I am naturally biased, but we believe the short- and long-term opportunity of leading our men’s basketball program is second to none. The interest associated with this position has already been unprecedented in advance of it officially opening, which speaks to how far our program has come in recent seasons, how well it’s competitively resourced, and where we're going. In short, we could not be more excited about the future of USF Men’s Basketball and can’t wait to keep building together with every one of you! All Gas. No Brakes!!! Go Bulls!!!🤘🏻😤

@will_usf @RHiggins_USF I agree that they definitely failed us…and I know Rob bleeds green and gold. Again…we have lost 3 coaches with this one being the most ridiculous

@GOPDEMSSUCK @RHiggins_USF Prior leadership and the AAC level have failed us. Higgins will get it right. He started Oct 2025. He’s done a hell of a job. I won’t be swayed otherwise.

@Mike1625 Higgins and the administration needs to take some of the heat here. He went to Providence….not exactly a blue blood program. If he went to Syracuse, I wouldn’t bat an eye…or Kentucky or some other major program. Whatever we really offered him along with NIL must be known.

MBB ramblings: We want a contract for our next coach that has a huge buyout after year 1 & maybe year 2. Force the hire to stay for 3 years…. But coaches will fight that. Rob has to find the balance for a contract that protects USF but doesn’t scare away talent. Condt.

@Mike1625 If Rob can’t get the right person to stay…then what is the point? Some of this is on him and the administration. 3 main coaches gone under his watch (don’t blame him for Jose, obviously)

I trust Rob, we will get the right person. Also - as we move up in the world, the list of better jobs shrinks and hopefully we can retain coaches better.

@CoachBHodgson Money Wins…apparently Love doesn’t.

Thank you South Florida!

@gansettguzzler @CoachBHodgson @dangly_sack Nothing classy about running away after one year

@CoachBHodgson @dangly_sack Class act. Please be sure to call us Friartown not Friar nation

@usf94 @CoachBHodgson Job done? You have low standards

@CoachBHodgson Job Done: two banners & and we got to do a little dancing. Thank you & wish you continued success.

@CoachBHodgson Whatever dude. Providence? Really? You chose being just a guy there over being an icon here. Must have been a stupid amount of money.

@USFSoapbox @PeteThamel @RandyR358 Who cares? They will leave anyway. Sick of this shit

@PeteThamel @RandyR358 Alright Pete, who you have taking the USF job?

Sources: South Florida coach Bryan Hodgson has signed a deal to be the next coach at Providence College. An announcement is expected soon.

@batmanbowls @PeteThamel You are fucking kidding, right?

@PeteThamel Big move — jumping from South Florida Bulls men's basketball to Providence Friars men's basketball is a serious step up.
