Coach Search Options after Autry

I think the opposite if his name was Gerry Jones, his name wouldn't even be mentioned on this board. Just like he isn't going to be mentioned for any other P4 jobs in America this cycle.

He would be scoffed at. I don’t think people understand how unprecedented it would be for a coach to spend two years in the MAAC and then go straight to a power conference school. Especially when he will likely have ZERO regular season championships. That stuff doesn’t happen.

Gerry is not on the radar for even one other P4 school that is going to open.

I happen to think BH is the leader in the clubhouse right now. But Gerry is very much in contention. There is also believe it or not, a question whether Gerry would take the job.

This just keeps getting more depressing.

Gmac is the giant shiny red EASY button for the next hire to placate a very vocal minority of people from the BoT on down. And I think that button is going to be really hard to resist pushing.

So until the next coach starts the season, I won’t believe that Gerry is definitively out of the HC search.

So you’re basically doubting SU leadership will make the correct decision. Based on their track record that’s a completely fair assumption.

If Hodgson fails, it wasn't the right move. If Gerry fails, we're the laughing stock of college basketball, still stuck in Boeheim's shadow.

This is why ultimately I don’t think Hop or GMAC get hired. Administrators across the board want to limit risk and potential fallout tied to their decision. GMAC/HOP failing looks like a bigger fail than an outsider failing: We’ll see if I’m wrong
