Coach Search Options after Autry

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.
 
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
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.
 
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...

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.

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.

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.
 
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.

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