Forgive me

He's too professional at times. He doesnt play the media game, which matters to the casual fans. Unfortunately you have to manage the fan base these days. You dont have to leak names but you see how much of an impact Thamel's interview has on the temperature? Little things like that go a long way...Even BB saying the other day, dont believe everything online or we haven't been turned down help. It's unfortunately several days after the narrative has been set though.

Agreed, Blair is a breath of fresh air & this is coming from someone who really liked Wildhack and wanted him to stay. The thamel interview and Blair calming things down had me and the entire board do a 180.

Ima need some good news when I go into work tonight.

I think the new AD has tightened up security around this pick.

That is a good sign for the Schertz angle.

I agree with almost everything you say in your post and appreciate the insights. But I have to disagree that he’s the most beloved player of the past 25 years. I wouldn’t put him in my top 5. Maybe I’d put him in my top 10. The 6 threes in the national title game and his 2006 Big East tourney run were magical.
“It's just tough because Gerry is the most beloved player of the past 25 years.”

who would you rank ahead of him Sherman?

The ball movement is beautiful to watch. Movement with purpose. Really makes our offense look like middle school.

Don't insult middle schoolers like that.

Not impressed at all with ST. Louis

I like peanut butter, but who are these choosy moms choosing Jif?? Not impressed with Jif at all. Peter Pan all day...

 

[McCuse]

The last few days have made me realize I might be the youngest person on this board. A lot of you have recollections of eras where I wasn’t even a thought in my parents my minds lol

Bobby Dooms!

 

[phil77]

I keep thinking of this scenario... Schertz comes in and gets us back to rolling. Tournaments and high seeds will get us back in a positive light nationally. Then in 5 years he gets poached by Kansas or someone like that. Then Gerry follows him after 5 more years of coaching experience and comes in when the program is rolling and back on top. Talking about setting Gerry up for success, that would be amazing.

Creamy or Crunchy?

Welcome. I watched Dave Bing play.

 

[Cusefan69]

Get ready for it.

Surely it has nothing to do with Duke not being able to throw it in the ocean and Michigan playing really well.

Surely it has nothing to do with Siena playing really good defense? And coming up with a game plan to take Duke out of their offensive game plan?
Surely it had nothing to do with Gerry being a damn good coach?
No clearly Duke was blinded by all that green!
And mesmerized by Sienas mascot Baloo!

It’s great to see he seems to be doing a good job of handling the task of walking into conversations with all these power players and in a very tactful and professional way saying “ what in the actual phruk are you knuckleheads doing? Time to get it right, get along and let’s get things where they should have been 5 years ago.”

That’s at least my take on what he’s up to in a very primitive oversimplified summary.

 

[Dinkyspond]

It is truly sad that Dion Waiters has watched more Siena games in person than JB.

explain please, why was Dion going to Siena games, is he still tight with Gerry?

 

[Longtimesu]

While I’m thankful for that, I’d love an opportunity to have a celebratory glass of rye or scotch tonight

I'm drinking Rye now.

 

[dasher]

So why does everyone think it’s Schertz when this was posted Tuesday night?

Well, maybe he isn't. But according to a poster here he knew for a fact that Schertz interviewed with us Weds. And from the St louis side in Buffalo, it's down to Schertz or Gerry that was on Friday. Both after that Tuesday post. No one knows what is up. But Pete T wrote that we were hearing from power 5 coaches ( I know St louis isn't) but the key point is that we are active.

 

[kingtidge]

Let’s get this question out of the way now…if UNC opens up, would Schertz be #1 option for them?

I think they prioritize P5 experience as a blueblood... So Oats, TJO, or Byington would be my guess ..

 

[orange79]

So we hitting 800 before midnight tonight?

You misspelled 6 o'clock.

I have to go back over 20 years to get where you are.

Wonder if the “P5 coach” was pushed out by the Blair camp

 

[kcsu]

IDK. I think the money gap between SEC/Big 10 and the others also playing will continue to grow without Congressional action. If he wins here, Kentucky could say here’s $15M a year. These are just questions for discussion. I don’t pretend to know the answers, or if they even matter.
(P.S. Doing my part to hit the 1000 post mar

SU has the resources to compete.

 

[Cappy3]

who would you rank ahead of him Sherman?

Well, Melo for sure.

 

[Irishsecra1]

He went to the MAAC tournament game, they showed him on the telecast behind the bench. Don’t know for sure how tight they still are.

 

[djorange1989]

Not only do I want JS because he is a great coach but I also want him out of spite, so we can tell the Goodman’s of the world to stick it!
