Coach Search Options after Autry

[bnoro]

He was efficient and Duke didn’t bother him at all in the first half. Second half he got banged up. Not sure what you are seeing showing he would struggle at this level?

Teams wouldn't be playing soft defense in the first half of an ACC game. He'd get pressure and beat up like he did once Duke actually started to try.

I lurked the Boneyard they are impressed with the size of this thread lol

It’s not a surprise. We have the bigger packages.

I think some (not all) are struggling to get their head around it all.

Coach salary
Budget for staff (assistant coaches and other support roles)
Player payments from the $20.5M the school can pay from their own budget (which football gets most)
Player payments from 3rd party NIL
Facility upgrades as needed

Did I miss anything?

They are getting $45M a year right now from the ACC, give or take.
Use it on sports, and recognize that it enhances the university's brand.

Stop being so short-sighted, or soon you will lose all that money, and your applications will decline substantially.

Then, it will be about business survival, for academically average over-priced private universities.

To be fair, people are judging Gmac on what they have seen of his competitive spirit and how quickly he turned around a 4 win team. The last two games solidified those thoughts. It's not like Gerry McNamara was a nobody before today.

I didn’t feel good with Red but Gmac I do. It’s a strong feeling.

Phil Martelli

Any reason to believe he is being considered?

 

[Cuseregular]

Gerry is a proven winner. He won as a player. Now, he looks pretty impressive as a coach. Your snark grows old.

Yep, it is the same few dopes over and over and over again

 

[phil77]

A lot is two words

You are super cool.

 

[bnoro]

You don't think Doty played a good game?

I think he played an average game. It wasn't a Jack Gohlke-level memorable tournament game

 

[dasher]

You are super cool.

I know that.

Siena was a 28 point underdog given literally no chance to win by anybody.
You can talk about poor second halves all you want but they lost by 6 to the number one team in the country. And led up to the final few minutes.
That only happens with good coaching and players who buy into what he wants.

I get it that many on this board are frankly horrified about hiring another JAB assistant.
It is like they are diseased and they fear they will infect Syracuse and destroy our team.
I doubt few would feel this way if Red had just been a decent coach and not this coaching disaster.
So, to them, they dont want to believe their eyes that maybe there is a decent JAB assistant out there who can coach.

They just want an outsider to exorcise the demon ghost of JAB.

I dont give a flying flip what offense our new coach runs, I just want us to win.
And certainly not have a coach who gives up before the ball is even tossed!

I was willing to accept BH but he didnt want us so good riddance.

And I want someone who has had some success as a head coach, no assistants for me.

That’s what it is too. They are more afraid of in house than anything. Gmac is the way to go

 

[sweetpea]

Not sure I've heard too many coaches at this level say that after a win.

Yeah, easy to say after a win. I'm sure he wouldn't have said it if they lost.

AI Overview



Yes, VCU head coach
Phil Martelli Jr.
has been mentioned as a potential candidate or rising name in the coaching search for the Syracuse job opening following the firing of Adrian Autry. While he is on the list of potential candidates for the vacancy, he is not considered the primary frontrunner compared to names like Gerry

 

[Fly Rodder]

He had the foundation from Alan Huss. Don’t lie

High Point had 21.0% of minutes played and 16.9% of scoring return from 2024-25 roster.





I also didn’t know who Flynn Cayman was before today.

 

[Cuse House]

Some of you guys need to relax. There are some seriously bad takes in here. No one that is available is a “slam dunk” that guarantees success. Gerry earned consideration and may be our guy. He may not be. No one knows at this point. I prefer Gerry to most other candidates. The only hire I cannot possibly get behind would be Hop due to lack of success as a head coach and being away from CBB for a bit. Maybe step away from the forum for a day or two and breathe.

Do you know how good Dukes defense is?

 

[storange]

I’m so pressed that people think GMac earned the job today. So silly.

Most of us didn’t think he won the job today , we did however think he improved his resume .

 

[RyanCuse44]

Any reason to believe he is being considered?

He should be.

 

[kingtidge]

Hubert canned if he chokes this away , maybe we can get him

We want PMJ, not Hubes ..

Again, if Duke had played defense like they did for the last 10 minutes all game, Siena might not have scored 40. He had an average game and it helped that Duke didn't take them seriously for a half.

 

[dasher]

Guess we might have to wait another few days to hire Martelli...

He would be fine. The only worry I have is that NIL stuff. there was a report today that some NIL was picked up. Why? Is my question. Is it for the good of the program? I hope so. Or is it for a specific coach. I hope not.

 

[TommyA13]

I’m stuck on the fact that we got a huge NIL donation for basketball today. How could it not be for Gerry lol

His team lost today. I don’t understand.

This thread is getting pretty toxic, going to head back to the Rutgers dumpster fire and cheer myself up
