Coach Search Options after Autry

[walsh2012]

You guys know that Gmac and Melo were not friendly for a very very long time right ? I don’t think he’s hoping Gmac gets the job

That tweet we saw couldn’t be referring to anyone else, unless it’s a bait and switch.

Personally I’m happy with either Gerry or JS, i think both will be able to do great work here, but I was less enthusiastic about Gerry until the last couple of weeks

So why’s everyone saying he wants Gmac to get the job

Because people are looking at an every letter of every message on every channel trying to make an interpretation. Some samurai dude said on twitter the most favorite guy in Syracuse is trying to make GMAC happen. People interpret that as melo… but that could also be jb or even Fran for all I know.

So are we on a Gerry lean now and not a Schertz lean?

I personally think the longer this goes it’s not GMAC. If I am GMAC and I didn’t get a call on Friday I know I’m not top choice. Why would I take the job then?

I also don’t think it’s Schertz… it’s wishful thinking along the lines of Dan Mullen without the rental car and airplane watch.

My prediction it’s someone no one has mentioned. If it were skinn they would have closed it or they are interviewing candidates still.

Most likely is some p4 flame out like Hurley, the ex Louisville guy or the ex Illinois guy. I really hope it’s GMAC over those uninspiring profiles.

If there isn’t a GMAC to cuse tweet by Thamel today I think it doesn’t happen

I wouldn't be so definitive. I also think Schertz is unlikely. Certain posters have proven to be quite reliable and I trust their intel on this.

That said I think JW, BB and team are looking to make a splash hire, with GMac as the broadly acceptable backup.

The Thamel article was well timed and not accidental. He is no shill like Goodman. He has a reputation and will not be a mouthpiece for the administration. So I do in fact believe they have better resources than the Sisters of the poor narrative and that they are trying to go outside.

What is not clear to me is will a desirable P5 name be a viable candidate. TJ or Byington would be moonshot wins and both could have reasons to have interest. But I would guess both are still somewhat longshots. If not, it may be that GMac gets the nod over someone like a Martelli (who I think could be a great candidate and coach). A Luke Murray type remains a wildcard. And Thamel did mention northeast assistants being in the mix. Just think they might be a harder sell for the fanbase.

Personally I hope this drags on a bit, assuming no Schertz. Tells me they are doing everything possible to secure the best candidate. And I look forward to the 2,000 page never-to-be-eclipsed board record that comes along with it.
