Bryan Hodgson hasn’t even coach a game for the Providence Friars, but he’s already a legend there. So is his wife.

Hodgson, 38, coach the South Florida Bulls for only one season, leading them to the NCAA Tournament, losing in the first round as an 11th seed to No. 6 Louisville, 83-79, in a close game.

Hodgson would sign with Providence shortly after in a five-year deal. His first press conference as coach on Tuesday, March 24, is already legendary when he said, “If your ever wanna question my recruiting abilities just look at my wife Jordan.”

Yea, that will certainly get the attention put on Jordan.

He did use the same line before, though, when he became the coach at South Florida.

Second time’s the charm for this joke I guess … 😂 https://t.co/OLotS0R6ou pic.twitter.com/FMDjXIs5JF
