Coach Search Options after Autry

[RF2044]

There’s way too strong a narrative out there of “outside the family” for this hire. While it’s preferred, I’d be fine with Gmac he’d fire up the NIL and alums. Imagine how disgusting it would be if he ends up at Boston college …

It’s not a narrative. It’s in the best interest of the program to conduct a national coaching search and hire a proven head coach. There’s about 75 coaches with similar or more than GMac, yet none are ever mentioned. Just because GMac knows where the toilets in the Melo Center are located doesn’t mean he needs to be considered for the job.

Care to explain? They will be sharing the NIL and Fran rebounded a program that was irrelevant for the last 20 years exactly what is expected from the new hoops coach.

Fran has been here for just 2 years, 1 very good, 1 very bad. He could be gone if he has another year like last year. Why should he have any say? I'd rather guys on this board who are SU lifers have a say than Fran.

No, but you have to admit it's a pretty darn good tiebreaker.

Perhaps. But the 75 more important evaluative criteria should filter GMAC down relative to the field.

Of course. I was saying it tongue in cheek.

It’s still a ridiculous thought. But in fairness. He had one great season and one historically bad season. He hasn’t shown he will be a good coach yet.

Agree on a real national search but Gmac should be in consideration

If GMac makes the tourney he might get the BC job and take Fotu with him.

No one says he can't get an interview.

The interview is as far as the consideration should go.

At this point I do not care about the background of the new coach. I just do not care. I just want someone that will produce results. I want to win and be competitive. That should be a standard not something we hope for every season.

Idc if that person is GMac, Carmelo Anthony or Jimmy Boeheim Jr the 3rd.

Bring us back to the Orange Standard by any means necessary.

It Depends….

Shot in the dark here, what about billy Donovan. He has to be done in Chicago. Would he want to get back into college for a few years. With melos money?

So was Jeff capel. Experience matters. Let Providence have Luke Murray this hire is too important to be taking another swing on an assistant

Jeff Capel actually coached Blake Griffin at Oklahoma when he was head coach there.

That would be a dream scenario. Billy coached Anthony in OKC. Seems they both have respect for one another.
But if Donovan decided he wanted to go back to college he would have his pick of the litter and be able to make so much more money than we could offer.
We would have to open the coffers big time to land a coach like that. NIL would have to be blank checks basically. Just don’t think we could do it.

Would love it but doubt we can afford him

lol people. Come on - next we'll hear people suggest Gregg Popovich, Phil Jackson, Mike Krzyzewski, and Red Auerbach. What about Geno Auriemma? At least make an attempt to be somewhat realistic...

FLJ has her squad playing hard, maybe she should throw her hat in the ring.

The Lally comment is interesting because obviously Fran Brown is already trying to squeeze every dollar he can from that family for football. To be honest there’s probably a lot left to squeeze.

We’re not exactly doing ourselves favors though if the Lallys just split what they were giving between both sports. Hard pill for Fran to swallow too that he could’ve had an extra mil or two but it’s going to hoops nil instead.

Either way I think Fran should get a say in the candidates. Honestly he’s prob more plugged in to what’s happening in SEC country and Florida and what college athletes are saying and hearing than anyone on our search committee.

I also think that for the first time ever we’re seeing that a HC has to be a real presence off the court and create buzz just as much as on the court.

I don’t care how great their metrics and playbook is, if they can’t get the money flowing for hoops on the Hill it’s a nonstarter.

Getting a hoops and a football coach that are both on the same page getting the fanbase excited would be huge.

You want the football coach, who just had the worst 8 game stretch in 100 years of Syracuse football, to have a voice in who the basketball coach is!?

Or people can embrace the women's program and build that up to be a national power
