But if it wasn't Gerry, we wouldn't be looking at a candidate with his resume.
Takayo Siddle took over a UNW program that had four losing years in a row and had them 27-9 in year two winning the CBI, followed by 24-10, 21-10, 27-8 NCAAs and 27-6 this year in the NIT. Last year in the NCAAs they were within 3 of Texas Tech with 7 minutes left. He's been mentioned a couple times, but nobody seemed very excited.
Clint Sargent took over a Wright State team that had won 18 or fewer games in 3 of 4 years. Year two he's got them to 23-12, won the conference tourney, they made the dance and were down 3 to Virginia with 3 minutes left. Haven't seen him mentioned at all.
The attitude towards these guys, and rightly so, is that they've had an impressive start to their coaching careers but let them move up a level and do it there and then maybe they'd be worth consideration for the Syracuse job.
