Boeheim is smart… probably should have listened to him.

yes, he would accept the job in a second. But it probably won't be offered to him if Red flops in the next year or two.

If we have two losing seasons are we a destination for a big time coach. I would think not. The Dome is great but NIL and winning are what matters.

Siena was 4-28 last year. And play in the MAAC. They beat 3 D1 teams. Bryant was a 20-win team last year that we lost to two years ago. Let’s please put it all into perspective.

There are a number of people on this board that have zero respect for Gerry as a coach and they have said as much. Never believed in him and probably still don’t at this point.

Why didn't Gerry get a better job than Siena?

Siena is a pretty good job for a first time head coach.

Nice arena, good league. Lots of Metro NYC schools, lots of teams in his territory, where he is a legend.

Lots of success in their past. Launch pad for several good coaches - Paul Hewitt, Fran McCaffrey, Mike Deane, Louie Orr. A very good first job, IMO.

Gerry has started off well. Carey with a big game last night 16 pts and 6 blocks vs American.

Very excited for his start! But we should pump the brakes a bit. Two of his 3 wins were in overtime. They haven't played great defense in terms of opponents' shooting percentage in 2 out of 3 games. But they are rebounding well, and shooting pretty well.

Do people forget that Boeheim lost to these teams for the last 3 years ? And people are losing their minds over 2 close wins with Red and want him fired?! Newsflash SYRACUSE HASNT BEEN GREAT FOR A LONG TIME. You guys wanted better recruits and Red is about to have two top 30 recruits and just got an All American. And 2 years into a completely new team and everyone is insane, when the team is 2-0. And it’s so clear how many of you have never played a minute of meaningful basketball in your life with some of these takes about the team and what goes on
