Coach Search Options after Autry

[jdubs30]

Also I resent the implication that we can’t be competitive year 1 and make the NCAAs whether GMac or external.

Miami was 7-24 last year. They didn’t return 1 player. Jai Lucas was never a head coach and here they are 26-8 and a win from the S16. They had the money they needed to get Reneau, Donaldson, Udeh, etc. The NIL made all the difference

Well, we will see what all of this "NiL" money buys us? It better be a lot. And I still
want to see how we can play Anthony and Doty at the same time.

GMac had the most NIL in the MAAC and didn't win the regular season. I am sure it will be different when he is a P4 coach.

Did he deal with injuries? Did he win the conference tournament?

so much for today being a fun day

 

[UpstateSM]

lol luv clueless hyperbole

Is it hard being the smartest, most levelheaded and, I assume, handsome poster?

 

[Briancuse]

You can lol all you want! I can’t wait for Gmac to be great and yall have to eat crow!

We will back here in 3 years on this thread.

It’s possible to believe Gerry has done a nice job at Sienna AND he shouldn’t be the next head coach at SU.

Next we’ll have a class on walking a chewing gum at the same time.

I think we can go even further and say Gerry might do a good job if he's our next head coach but still feel like he shouldn't be our next head coach lol. We should be able to get someone that's more of a sure thing vs. two years of head coaching experience at a very low D1 level (albeit doing a very nice job at that level).

People are overthinking everything

Am not

Did he deal with injuries? Did he win the conference tournament?

He finished 3rd in the regular season and lost 7 games in a terrible conference with the most NIL.

You haven't been around long enough. We would LOVE that.

How much you think?

So that’s it eh dash

 

[VikesCuse84]

Welp… at least it’s over I guess

 

[oldpinepoint]

Not my first choice or second but I hope he can turn it around. But I want winners that are comfortably in the tournament. Consistent bubble teams is not going to cut it for me.

 

[phil77]

Happy GMac Day. What a breath of fresh air for the program.

 

[djorange1989]

We better be getting a boatload of NIL with this hire…

maybe cluelees was harsh- do u truly believe they didn't reach out narionally to potential candidates?

 

[sufan59]

You can't do a real "national search" and land on GMac. Whole thing was a farce.

I’m sure they did until Gerry won the MAAC and put Scheyer in a blender that ran out of battery at the end. Including pretty much all the prominent Syracuse people having zero interest in welcoming an outsider. What on earth is Blair and company supposed to do in this impossible situation? Man if Blair goes with the outsider anyway, mad respect to standing up to the establishment. What coach wants to walk into this no matter how much money he gets.

 

[Wrinkle]

It will be truly awesome if we win but why take a chance here

 

[OrangeXtreme]

Weiss probably knew Gerry’s great grandfather.

 

[Irishsecra1]

Can't wait for the GMac post-game press conference - "Why did you struggle on offense" - "Just didn't make shots."

That is what Red would say.
Not what Gerry would say. Listen to him after defeats. He never cops out like that.

 

[BigNastyJon]

Shertz to UNC? Hubert Davis screwing us.

 

[Briancuse]

Happy GMac Day. What a breath of fresh air for the program.

Couldn't be more disappointed

We are going to have to over pay for people like Nait George to get them to come to Syracuse.

Can't wait to watch 4 guys to stand around the 3 point line and chuck up contested 3's.

We need to hope that McNamara has a different offensive concept than what we've seen the last 10 years.

I don't know that anyone can say that definitively.

Hope he has more tools in his tool kit than either Red or Hopkins did. What I don't want is more iso ball, with poor execution, and lack of purposeful movement without the ball.
