Boeheim is smart… probably should have listened to him.

[grepal]

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

Here’s a lightbulb - bring back the old bastard and let him Coach!

I kid I kid, though I bet he could mustard 18 or 19 wins

While you're right, last year they won by 4 AND had to erase a 24-pt deficit.

The hardest thing about watching sports in the Internet era is that every game is hyper analyzed and definitive conclusions drawn.

Red got a weird roster to 20 wins last year after starting out with some head scratchers so I choose to remain positive...for now.

Last year the guy who cooked us all game hurt his ankle and they did nothing down the stretch. No chance we win if he didn't get hurt.

 

[two3zone]

reds 1st year roster was his choice, too

idk why people just give him a pass for choosing to keep the malcontents around...great job overcoming them...but its still a poor refelcton of his judgment to choose to keep them

And then doubled down on Bell and JJ....
