I've said all along that after today's game, its perfect timing. One week until the next game. And the next two are on the road. Two weeks until our only home game. And thats it. Most likely one and done in the ACCT.
That tracks with what I heard last week. Granted, things are really fluid with situations like this but the overall strategy and mindset seemed to be solid. I will say that different people are definitely sharing different things, and some of it is outright (manure).
Gerry might also have the self awareness to know that he's not quite ready to take on a gig like this just yet. He's going through some pretty significant adversity being somewhat shorthanded at Siena, and I'm sure he's learning a ton.
I also assume he is still annoyed that he was passed on three years ago.
It’s not that. He isn’t certain the athletic department will provide the necessary tools and resources to win. Gerry is VERY outspoken (not in a bad way) about what is needed to win and with all the shuffling around that’s occurring, he’s not confident and a believer at this time in cuse
Thats a great post and makes a lot of sense.
Yeah I know. I provided what came up on multiple sites but MS kindly pointed me to a message you had shared.
He started at $1.8m and has small escalators year after year. Think he maxed out at like $2.7 in year 5 with all bonuses in place that were performance based.
Whether he goes to the A10 or the American next will be very telling on the path he wants to go on. Will be shocked if he is in the power conferences from Siena, but you never know. Gerry may want to coach at a place that is all basketball. When he played at Syracuse, we had football, but we weren’t serious about it at all. We are now.
Gerry could become the Mark Few of that conference if he stayed long enough. But Gerry also thinks very very very high of his own coaching abilities and thinks he deserves a big time job, even right now. However, if you watched last nights game, you realize he still has a long way to go…
Annoyed, but perhaps now he can see it as we did him a solid. He was way too young to risk his career like that. Scheyer was set up significantly better.
I’ll take the guy who IS confident and a believer that he can win and will do whatever it takes for that to happen. Love Gerry as a player, but I’ll take my chances with the guy whose nickname is the Shark.
The no timeout at the end of regulation, I saw. I’m high on Gerry long term. Perhaps he sees Siena being built up to a bigger stage. They do play in the arena in Albany. But yeah I’m rooting for Gerry, even if we get to a point that he is coaching at another program at our level and having better success than us. At that point, hopefully we can get Gerry to come home. Long way to go to worry about that lol. Incoming surprise Siena run to the Elite 8 after winning the MAAC.
I know this is probably meant to be tongue-in-cheek, but unless they get some players back and reintegrate them quickly, they just don't have the horses.
love this…. BUT… i’m really not confidant if you turn ‘Cuse around to the point a blue blood (maybe 3-5 schools) want you that you leave.
Sounds like an FU move after not getting the job 3 years ago more than anything. Gmac has enough pull to get what he thinks he needs from the AD.
