GMAC / Blackwell / AO to Siena [Official]

[Oakland]

This job is expected to come open this week; any insight if GMac had interest in the past? Is he aiming higher? Would seem like a fit.

Has it been confirmed that Gerry is going? I think this is good for the program and hope they hire an outside big to recruit bigs, coach bigs, and explain to Red how to use bigs.

Has the Eagle landed here? I haven't seen confirmation yet that he's taken the job. Isn't Cornell open? Wouldn't that be a much more attractive destination?

Rumors being floated that Canisius is parting ways with HC Witherspoon as well...

 

[Capt. Tuttle]

GMAC homecoming sells a few more tickets than your average tomato can and we get to do Beat Siena week again. It's all winning.

Lose, and it’s all anti-Red, should have hired GMac, etc.
Before you say lose to Siena, I give you Colgate.

Already did

 

[kingtidge]

Already did

Ahh - I heard the rumor that he was gone, but didn't see it was confirmed... thx.

 

[SanDiegoCuse]

Done.

 

[rocfan44]

Done.

He is going to be missed! Hope that he succeeds. I know I will be watching.

 

[Giants1973]

Good luck GMAC.!!!!!

He is going to be missed! Hope that he succeeds. I know I will be watching.

 

[sutomcat]

Done.

Best wishes to Gerry and his family for success in Siena. I suspect he will do well there.

 

[phil77]

Done.

Good Luck GMac wishing you all the best unless you play Syracuse

We've got a source off

I hope GMac had an opportunity to study Fran Brown's methods of conquest.

 

[Dcuse]

His exit press conference will be a tear jerker.

Probably the courtside box for Weitsman holding things up.

 

[HyattsCuse]

I'll go with this guy. The other guy doesn't know the difference between "has" and "have"

 

[Shrmdougluvr]

He’s a Ped State grad.

Other than that, he does a pretty good job.

 

[JustPherU]

Red has to make the right choice here, hopefully he doesn’t just make an offer out of loyalty.

 

[kingtidge]

...so good we get two ends of the week...

 

[MSOrange]

His exit press conference will be a tear jerker.

Probably just release a statement.

 

[CousCuse]

Probably the courtside box for Weitsman holding things up.

Had the same thought the other day. The Siena people will let things roll to get a program.

Speculation here:
1. Siena athletic department is operationally incompetent. Hopefully, GMAC thinks through the pros and cons of working for an operationally incompetent organization.
2. Siena is not the only school pursuing GMAC and a bidding war is taking place behind the scenes.

Either way, it seems a little odd that this is being dragged out when coaches involved in the NCAA tournament pretty much had official announcements of where they were going within 48 hours of losing.

I'd recommend that Gerry could probably get in on the Louisville job, but their AD is a disaster too.

You are saying it's not official then??

The former sounds about right. Hopefully GMAC got good terms and has some aces up his sleeve. His roster will need it.
