Coach Search Options after Autry

[DoctahLexus]

Not a legitimate reporter. He had us getting Hodg 4 days ago.

How many times will people be falling for twitter BS. It is insane! Twitter sucks, but so does the media literacy of like 80% of this board. Look into the source before posting some crap here people!!!

 

[Cusefan0307]

It might have been a little more than that. Perhaps Skinn was the choice until the last few days. The University has to be thinking now that there is no way to sell a guy like Skinn against a guy like Gerry. If we are concerned about where to get NIL, Skinn couldn't be the choice over Gerry.

If we really wanted Skinn we could've hired him 3 days ago...

Love how the little piece got added citing a lack of NIL resources and fan support.

It does say he turned down an offer from us per sources but hard to tell if that is based on Goodman still. May never know.

I'm still hoping BB is smart enough to give Murray and Martelli a shot. If more money is there for Gmac so be it but if all things are equal. Or maybe the big NIL donation yesterday was from Bill freakin Murray

After missing 100+ pages in this thread posted yesterday while watching March Madness at KeyBank... this is also where I find myself. I've never doubted G-Mac's ability to coach, I just never thought he was ready to make the jump from Siena to Syracuse. However, I think the noise has become too loud to tune out with the MAAC Championship and an all-time performance against Duke yesterday.

Additionally, if all that’s been said about our NIL situation is true, then we really have no choice other than to go with him. As much as I detest Weitsman, it’s clear if we are ever going to be competitive again in basketball, we need him involved. Both Boeheim and G-Mac have had no problem taking money from him, and he clearly wants back in with the program. If he will legitimately contribute for G-Mac, then he seems like the most logical option. I would love to take a shot on Murray or Martelli Jr. but it seems like we would just be setting them up to fail if the money won't be there. I will end up rooting for whoever we hire, but if he can legitimately generate the funds some are talking about, G-Mac seems like the best move.

They are not picking Skinn over GMac no way. Skinn may have already had an interview lined up so they are honoring that but no chance they pick Skinn over GMac

this would be the worst hire possible of all candidates

 

[Newhouser]

Why are we event mentioned in that release? If I'm PC I'm more peeved at the Cuse inclusion than Cuse should be.

He’s satire

 

[FloridaCuse]

Fan Support ??? LOL

There probably was a great number of Syracuse Fans watching the Siena-Duke game yesterday than has ever watched a Providence game.

 

[RedtheGOB]

generally agree, think you could scramble 2/3/4 in any order

Yup ok with this, options are always good.

 

[Cusefan0307]

Their leading offensive player injured his shooting had 1 game into that string, and wasn't the same.

Understood that, but were even worse last year on that end of the court...

THIS REPORTER IS FAKE lol

 

[Frozen]

Reinhart is a parody account. Not saying BH won’t go to Providence, just that Reinhart is fake.

 

[rrlbees]

Interesting quote from JB on GMAC. “He’ll decide what he wants to do and I’ll support him.”

Sounds like he’s the first call and that it’s not a slam dunk.

i think jb was talking about BB?

yea, i didnt look at it close enough.

Would be the final nail in the coffin.

 

[kingtidge]

NIL funding is metric to measure fan support. That's my guess. We just got embarrassed by Providence. The people who wanted Autry to get a third year should take some responsibility. Everyone with a brain knew he was toast after year 1.5. People can get mad at me all they want but this was an avoidable embarrassment that we may never recover from. People at the top need to own it. What a mess!

...or the 5-year Autry contract to begin with... another big footshot in all of this.

 

[OrangeXtreme]

Clickbait Rob claims another victim

Don't feed the twitter trolls.

I'm reading it this way. How many times are we going to wave the job in his face and pull the football away like he's Charlie Brown?

If I'm Gmac I'm prob telling people the same thing. Don't come back here unless it's with a final offer. I'm not going to get excited and then have you fools go with Martelli or someone else last minute.

No they like it...

Providence > Cuse

Had no idea BB was 5’4

This is high-quality analysis. At this point I am in agreement. We need to play the cards we were dealt.

 

[RedtheGOB]

I’m no PR expert but I would suggest no - take the high road and ignore it.

Yup especially cuz it would have to come from an authority like BB and let's not get him down in the gutter yet, plenty of time for that ha

 

[ezbeezy214]

Luke Murray is not the same as any listed above, but yea the fanbase is terrified of an assistant again.

Arizona fans were prob angry about Lloyd but it’s worked out for them. I think if you get a sense in the interview that an asst for a big program in a winning culture is ready, sometimes you have to be a little early.

 

[Cusefan0307]

We can’t hire a coach that’s not in the NCAA tournament if it’s someone from a mid/low major. The fans will lose it.

 

[ezbeezy214]

Basically I think Gerry can bring most of his staff with him. But at Syracuse he will be able to add to it. The big one is I think an offensive minded AHC.

Skinn could also
