Coach Search Options after Autry

[VikesCuse84]

Considering the reality of the present situation, who should we hire?

Schertz if he actually wants the job. If not, I’d be curious what current P5 coaches Thamel was referring to reached out about the job

 

[Cappy3]

Cool. What makes you think that's a possibility?

I know as much as you about who the candidates may be - nothing.

If Gmac played at any other school nobody would even be mentioning his name. 2 years at siena. 3rd place finish in the 27th ranked league. Only Q4 wins. If his name did come up we’d say could be a good one down the road, nobody would even think to hand him the task of trying to rebuild the Syracuse basketball brand from the gutter.

 

[phil77]

Maybe read a bit more and type less. Just a suggestion.

Dont know how to read. My mom was too drunk to be an astronaut

I think we're all curious about that. But, again, based on the information we have, who should we hire?

Stop knocking his accomplishments though. Also he’s gonna have a boatload of nil with him.

For the people that are getting excited about JS, I would say there is about a 98% chance that he is not our next coach.

Ugh. That sucks. Any insight into who the other contenders are besides Gmac?

Insider mentioned it earlier in this thread

If

Schertz if he actually wants the job. If not, I’d be curious what current P5 coaches Thamel was referring to reached out about the job

Prob other big east coaches. shaheen maybe.

It’s not an accomplishment though, a close loss is never an accomplishment. Gerry has done some good things, stuff you can point to and say “see there’s something there” but it should never be a LOSS that excites people

It's the context of the loss. If a random teenager got into a street fight with Mike Tyson in the late 1980s and somehow knocked him down, that'd been newsworthy. Not the best analogy but you get the point...

 

[OptimusOtto]

If it is Gerry with all this NIL has there been any indication if he’d have a GM? Would that be his call or ADBB’s?

 

[pearl31]

Obviously I/we would be thrilled with some mystery shocker. I'm talking about what has tangibly been floated by insiders

 

[TheHaze315]

Where am I knocking his accomplishments? Literally listing what he has done. The reality of it is, if he didn’t play at Syracuse NOBODY would think his track record is enough to be tasked with the Syracuse job and rebuilding this program/brand.

I think you have inferred that incorrectly.

 

[VikesCuse84]

We don’t really have any information that we know is 100% accurate do we? The thought was we’re down to Schertz and Gmac, but there’s current P5 coaches interested (we don’t know the names), that money isn’t an issue, that new AD has names outside of the list JW provided.

 

[RedtheGOB]

How does he know bh was our #1 on our board? Is he our ad? Who’s said that?

Exactly. For all we know his source is Goodman ha. Sounds exactly like him

 

[orange79]

Pay attention everyone.

We are once again coming dangerously close to another "my source is better than your source" or "you have no source" d1ck-measuring contest.

Knock it off and discuss.

Or maybe you'll be reading and not discussing.

Someone with 2 posts, came by to say our next coach will be Kimani Young

Well I think it’s because he’s gonna have a ton of nil money and took a 4 win team 2 years ago to the ncaa tournament.

 

[Capt. Tuttle]

How good you are as a player has nothing to do with bring a good coach.

Usually the opposite. So many great players were such superior athletes, they can’t comprehend why normal players can’t do what they did. (Not sure comprehend is the right word). Gerry was a great college player through hard work and smarts. Those guys are usually better coaches. See Boeheim, James Arthur as an example.

Lucky I have no sources

Ok. So you want us to hire "any unnamed p5 coach"

Turning around a team in the NIL era isnt what it use to mean

It was stated the tires were kicked on Murray

I’m about 2 and a half hours east of Saint Louis in Indiana and you’d never know STL was ranked in the top 25 and won a tourney game based on local coverage. Most of our in the Midwest area where I live suck and SLU got zero coverage.

ooh my dad grew up about 2.5 hours east of St. Louis
