No one hates Gerry. Not one post has said that.

A lot of people are skeptical of the hire. If Gerry McNamaras career was the exact same except he grew up in Strongsville, OH and won a national title at Louisville and made it to the NCAAs as the head coach of Austin Peay …. He literally wouldn’t be on our list top 25 candidates most likely. Nothing in the metrics show Anything special on either side of the ball.

I am well aware people will say “his guys play hard!!” Great … I’m sure they do. I’m sure they would at Austin Peay because that’s how he coaches. But there are a ton of good coaches that can do that … with a more proven track record.

I’m happy he went here, but he got the job because he went here.

I also believe that the NIL factor is real …. And i understand why GMac draws the most NIL cash from the donor base … I get all the reasons.

Based on some reactions here GMac is the best choice for the general fan base, which I get it too.

GMac probably offers the most ROI for the admin for the immediate future. Donor support + ticket sales + higher general fan interest + easy espn/media headlines…..it may not look good initially on the court but the general vibes will be good .

Hodgson would probably be met with less excitement overall by the fanbase than GMac will. Based on posts here by people who would know …. The donor support wasn’t quite there for BH. Easy to see how that leads to less excitement in the general fan base.

I just don’t think the best choice was made for the basketball product on the court. It seemed like the emphasis was what the drive the most initial revenue
