Coach Search Options after Autry

[HyattsCuse]

As I and others have posted, he was not interested about 2 weeks ago before the MAAC tournament for various reasons. I think TPTB really pissed him off when he was not even considered for the job when Red was hired. Not even spoken to - just told a flat no, Red is getting it.
He would not be human if that didnt bother him.

And he has a great gig going at Siena. They love him there and so do the players!

I understand what you’re saying and it’s valid for sure.

On the other hand, hoping GMac potentially sees it as “everything happens for a reason” type of situation. Yeah, it sucks he wasn’t considered, but we have new leadership and while ‘Cuse has a long ways to go, I think there were some growing pains to go through post JB that Red was the lucky recipient of experiencing instead of GMac.

Red was never going to be successful here, but I think in some ways, he took one for the team. He was the guy that followed a legend (declining but still a legend) and at least was a place holder while ‘Cuse caught up a little bit with the new era - getting a GM, roster construction with the portal, and NIL.

Hoping the NIL will be there for him if he does take the job.

I'm not going to lie just watching that makes me more OK with hiring McNamara. Goddammit

Tony Skinn still has some leverage up in Cuse. Sounds like if it’s not Gerry it’ll be him.

From what lol

 

[BrookhavenCuse]

Well I guess we'll see what he says then. Just A hi how you guys all doing with no news is not going to sit well I don't think

Ok sure, no matter who ends up as the selection they have to go through a negotiation process, even if it’s just to get to a mutual agreement on all the details. Some local radio interview is NOT going to dictate the deadline for a finalized deal. Get a grip.

What of Gerrry declines the job? Just a question to ponder...

Despite what has been said, I think there is no chance Gerry turns us down when actually offered. Zero chance. Unless we start to hear they interviewed actual candidates, they could sell the fan base on this is all just window dressing.

Had no idea BB was 5’4

Short king

Admins like his scheme and his connections to the DMV. Defensive minded coach. Solid recruiter.

It’s funny , I assume people would check the authenticity of the tweet before linking to this board ……… Yea , I know , Very Stupid on my part !

His scheme is awful.

 

[OptimusOtto]

What is it you think "ripe" means?

slowly losing my mind keeping up with this thread

This is ridiculous to suggest that. It’s a top program still. We tend to talk ourselves out of situations.

He’s going to turn down a massive pay day at his alma mader for ….what? If there’s smoke around going to UNC I’ll play along

I always assumed bc was the fallback for him this year but he pulled off the impossible: the school has to hire him now. Leverage is a beatiful thing. Prob got him another 1mm per season

I mentioned that earlier, thats not enough. And is for sure not leverage.

You seem to be obsessed with this idea of casting a wide net for the job. It makes sense in theory, but it doesn't match the reality of the situation. This is not an enviable job to take, in a lot of aspects, for a lot of reasons. Like it or not, we haven't seen bigger names come up for a pretty understandable reason.

 

[granthath9]

Don’t shoot the messenger.

 

[RedtheGOB]

The awful part is how much this sounds like Autry. Level 5 defense! and DMV recruiting. Yup that will get it done ha.

I just hope the sources in the admin and athletics dept that people have are getting stale info.

At nose tackle? That's serious bulldog mentality.

 

[Cusefan0307]

Don’t shoot the messenger.

Guard Kory Mincy was a 15-point scorer at Presbyterian, and he’s the true point guard Skinn was hoping could run his ball-screen offense.

BARFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF

Same thing we have been doing for decades. GTFOH.

 

[LpoolNative]

If we don't find out in the next hour its prob not gmac. BB cannot be chatting with Stevie and Paulie without something to say and that's at 1.

So if we don't get the gmac news he's def doing damage control that we are still looking and to be patient for someone better.

I don’t know, I think Blair is just on th show to introduce himself and talk about the future I don’t think he’s gonna announce a coach to them.

 

[RedtheGOB]

I don’t know, I think Blair is just on th show to introduce himself and talk about the future I don’t think he’s gonna announce a coach to them.

I figured he might if the news came this morning but now so much now. Will prob just say lot of good candidates right now.

 

[2B20Again]

Every time a coach wears a suit an angel gets their wings.

 

[Blanko97]

Losing someone to Providence due to NIL is a new low for Cuse, brutal

 

[phil77]

Groce and Akron plays in 20 minutes
Steele and Miami OH play in about 4 hours from now

No one thought of Autrys defensive scheme lol. He was taking over for Jim Boeheim. Will you stick with zone is about as in depth as it got
