What I expect at this point…

[cuseguy]

In what setting/context? As for well known... I'd argue it's not based on reading the board.

Bet I can find others here to support it. It’s been brought up in other circles.

 

[Cusefan0307]

Red doesn’t carry a room well. Kind of well known.

I’m not too sure what this means. Is JB good at this?

Hop had everyone’s attention, but he hasn’t been a very good basketball coach.

I'm not challenging it's accuracy just saying it's not well known. I've never seen it posted here or heard it discussed which is why I was asking for context. Not everything is a disagreement lol.

 

[Jake]

Sure looks like a nice backcourt mate for Judah...

Saw him torch UW.

Well, I’ve heard it discussed. Not here but in other SU social media outlets.

Ok so are you meaning he would be awkward with the media and community or he would fail to connect with kids and their families and would struggle to lead?

If Red is the guy, I hope it works out. Just have my doubts, and it goes beyond carrying a room.

Ok

 

[OttoinGrotto]

Women are not objects FWIW.

This the absurd humor behind asking the question.

Oh great. The person that gets the job is going to have to work to get the community support the program and school deserve. It's not a given. Autry as an asst/associate coach is a total unknown to me. I don't think I have ever heard him speak. In 12 years. Gerry already has the fans & community behind him. He's the reason there were 24,590 fans there Saturday. If Gerry can coach it's a mistake not choosing him.

W..t..f…. Isn’t that kind of a minimum requirement of a head coach… at any level?

Gerry can’t recruit. This job is about coaching not fundraising

When done correctly, it’s both. Especially in the NIL era.

Nobody is going to have to work to get community support. It’s already there.

Warrick and the rest of the title team had something to do with that attendance too.

Nevermind who you guys have a bigger man crush on, has nothing to do with coaching.

 

[Gotothehole]

That should be the AD

 

[SanDiegoCuse]

I've really enjoyed Red on the radio in his weekly interviews. I think he comes across really well.

 

[Millhouse]

Like Martelli for Howard at Michigan

Boeheim would be great at it haha (I'm kidding, he actually would be for someone else somewhere else)

 

[tptcuse]

Totally agree and he’s very good at threading the needle when asked more difficult questions.

 

[DoctorBombay]

And so it begins.
Its fascinating watching the dissection of Red start to play out...especially in relation to GMac.
It was always assumed that if we hired from within, Red would be the guy. Suddenly, one good speech on Senior Day and GMac is the new heir apparent? Not buying it.
My thinking has evolved to where I'd prefer an outside hire, but I always recognized that would be unlikely. It's the last vestige of JB's legacy and would cause too much disruption to the program.
So...Red it is.
As for GMac- if he has HC coaching chops, then he'll likely find his way back home. Either way, we finally move on

I think the main “disconnect” is Gerry was such a fan favorite and a part of iconic teams (national champ, 2 big east tourney teams) that it’s hard for most fans to keep that separate.

Also, for those of us on the younger side we have no recollection of Red as a player and GMac was our introduction to the program.

Looking forward to getting to know him better. Let’s hope he’s here for a long time.

This is so sad that people don't remember how big of a star Autry was... in his senior year, Autry was the teams best player. No offense to GMAC but Autry (in my opinion) was the much better player.

Not even the same hemisphere .

Say what you want to say.

 

[Bayside44]

Agreed, no need to be cryptic.

If Red can recruit the rest falls into a place. A winning coach will carry a room on his own way.

He needs to relate to players and their families.

Both 4 year starters. GMac better early on, Autry better by senior year.

GMac would’ve been better if he played the 2….next to a PG like Autry, lol.
