Would be a very welcome addition to the candidate list. What he has done at Vanderbilt is very impressive.

So this one. I read the Yahoo article which cites the Sporting News. The Sporting News article cites our own Neil Adler's article about a list of 10 potential guys.

So I would say there's no actual reporting that he's a target or interested at this time. More an interesting name.

Goodman says GMax to Cuse and BH to Providence but he’s an idiot

Ahh...Tai Bell, the 5 star PG with the South Florida offer. Thanks for setting me straight 1055, RF2044, and Capt. Tuttle

Total supposition on my part

Yeah and why would he come here? These writers who just rip fan boards off - egads.

BH is a sensible hire.
GM is a FOMO hire.
I'm good with either.

Not me.

After suffering through a decade of poorly coached offense and sloppy rock right basketball, I don't want more of the same.

Siena's offense worries me. No thanks.

BH was just on the Dusty and Danny Show on Sirius XM. Impressive dude. They asked him about the Cuse gig and how he keeps the team and himself focused with the rumors out there. He talked about how Red is a good friend of his and he hated seeing a friend lose a job, especially at a school he gave so many years of his life to. He didn’t try to say “I’m not going anywhere” which was refreshing.

He knows how important gaining trust and building relationships with the Syracuse Basketball alumni will be if he has this job. Because Red may not be head coach anymore, but he is still Orange.

Who's turn is it to make the Dumbass joke?

You may need to merge everything into one thread and hope it doesn't result in a worldwide internet outage.

Could
Be the
Other way around.

Have to
Admit if GMac was hired at the Cuse I wouldn’t be bothered.
He’s a winner.
Period.

He’s experienced
What has to be done
To win it all

And the Orange won’t be “back” until we can think we can win
It all every year.

Did Edgar Allan Poe write/type that?

 

[elimunelson]

IMO, you simply could not pass over the senior staff member, who had more staff responsibilities than Gerry, no known issues, and is a minority. SU would have been skewered.

Edsall vs Pasqualoni? Wasn’t Randy higher up?

You can do whatever imo. Group think and conventional wisdom is failure. Red Sox hired Theo Epstein over senior guys in Red Sox organization. They really fd it up.

If we hire GMAC, Syracuse will become BC.

Hate to break it but we basically are

 

[Dmcnabbrules]

Gmac wasn’t a great recruiter here. He will need every million he can get his hands on

Recruiting is very different today. It's more about allocating financial resources and roster balance.

It’s not just writing checks. You have to sell the areas, the school, the program. Player x can get 2 million at 10 different schools. You can’t over pay for everyone. The coach and recruiter need to sell the benefits over the others. Fran sells himself that’s why he’s a great recruiter. If it was as easy as writing a check then Fran brown wouldn’t be here. Every good su basketball team was backed by a good recruiter. Troy weaver, murphy, Hopkins… when we lost the big time recruiter the program trended down.

If you had to break down the odds of whether we are getting GMAC or BH, what would the odds look like ---assuming it came down to those two guys?

It’s Syracuse, bh has been the talk for weeks, doesn’t mean anything. Look at the ad hire and the football hire. A dark horse came out of nowhere and wowed the interview. I wouldn’t be afraid to bet on the dark horse. Does Toledo have a decent coach

 

[DPCuse]

I'm fine with Hodgson or GMac. It's true that if we pass on GMac and his coaching career takes off somewhere else, this fanbase is going to lose their minds knowing we passed on him. If GMac is successful at Cuse, he's our next Boeheim lifer.
