Message: [QUOTE="elimunelson, post: 3730802, member: 615"] my point is Jim Boeheim was (and is) a special hire. It was a risky hire but it paid off in spades for Syracuse. They need to find a special hire. The normal "hey this guy has been halfway successful at Vermont" isn't going to be the answer if the last two of those didn't work at all. They need to be very bold because frankly they have nothing to lose. They aren't going to go lower and they aren't getting kicked out of the ACC. The checks still clear. They can try and go for the home run hire and see how it goes. If Gerry is the selection more power to them. We look at the Syracuse program much differently than the peer schools do. They want to be us in basketball. if it's Red or Gerry, that pedigree means something. [/QUOTE]
