Coach Search Options after Autry

[OrlandoCuse]

Good gawd. Say it with me folks: GMac will not be the next head coach at Syracuse.

Stop tweeting it. Stop posting it. Stop suggesting it. Stop thinking about it.

My #1 must have is that we need a disciplinarian, basically a dude with a true bad cop mentality. We see what a bunch of good cops on the staff and HC looks like in CNY now and it leads to 5 losses by a basket or two.

The new coach has to strike the fear of god into these kids most of which will be pulled out of the portal and ride them hard so they don’t fall apart against Hofstra or on the road to BC or be dropping games by a basket.

It’s the lack of toughness that has plagued this program for a decade now and needs to change.

Just because we clean house doesn’t mean that fans will just buy back in suddenly and fill out the dome or the ACC is going to give us an easy run.

The new staff and team are going to have to go to war to dig the program out of the grave for real on the court not just with a bunch of Instagram work out videos and talk.

Totally agree, spot on!

Totally agree, spot on!

If Gmac is the next John Wooden, great, he will be the next Syracuse coach after whomever replaces Autry. Gotta assume he will leave any job for us.

I hope he keeps improving as a coach and becomes a viable candidate down the road but not now as many have said.

Shertz is the guy.

Great coach but I hate the way his teams play.

Yes, boring but effective.

You okay with winning? His team plays defense-first and disciplined basketball. Also, he's not coming here.

Yup

And he's having the court at UVA named for him at this Saturday's game.

Some of you guys need to stop posting ragebait tweets from anonymous accounts of stuff that will never happen. It’s like a dog going into the yard and bringing back a dead bird.

Yeah, I'm okay with winning. There is more than one way to win.

Maybe but there seems to be a lot more ways to lose.

Anyone who mentions another coach that is retired should be banned from posting about future coaching candidates. That goes for Tony Bennett, Bruce Pearl, and Jay Wright. I’d add Billy Donovan into that group as well.

Greg Popovich still in play then?

So is Brad Stevens!!

 

[ManleyRocks]

With no inside information, absolutely not happening. He was just interviewed and he is sooo happy with his new life. Goes to ballgames now, sits in a catered box, drinks a beer and chit chats with folks while half watching the game…

I don't speak it either!!!

Seems like the popular options are a Single A manager who's 27-25, or Tommy Lasorda (who's been dead for 5 years).

Not that it matters because I have no say, but after quickly researching some of these names you guys have tossed out, I'm a Shertz guy for now. Key being he's won everyplace he's been.

Not sure if this has been posted on here yet, but Skinn has a $1.2m buyout.
"One final note: the buyout for Skinn if he leaves is rather light, at $1.2 million if he leaves next March [2026], and that drops $200,000 a year through the duration of the deal."

Details on the new Tony Skinn contract at George Mason

We have the details on the contract extension signed last week by George Mason basketball coach Tony Skinn.

That's usually the type of coaches who do well because they have a regimented system for practice, and games.
But they keep it simple.

I like it. We'll all start dressing nicer.
