Message: [QUOTE="CuseMan4, post: 5648272, member: 5564"] I’ve seen some of these names thrown around but this is what I would do; 1A) Schertz- proven winner everywhere he has gone. Originally from NY. He’s 50 so we could have him for awhile if he kills it and stays. 50 is still on the younger side of coaching. However this is already his 18th season as a head coach and he’s won big every year, wherever he goes. Like his records are phenomenal other than his first year at Indiana state (big rebuild there). He would bring legit experience as a head coach. 18 years as a head coach compared to what we just had from Autry. He’s a good communicator, like I said from NY, so he has ties to the northeast. Sure he has a pretty good understanding of Syracuse basketball and what it is. Great developer of talent, great X’s and O’s. He’d be my first call for sure 2) Skinn- young coach. Up and coming. Has cast experience at some big time schools as an assistant where he is super well respected. Only 42 I believe. Smart, great communicator, would probably be a great recruiter. Former player at George Mason, so he’ll be able to relate to the players and earn their respect, would bring a much needed energy boost to the program. His teams are WELL COACHED. He’s had good records every year at George Mason, every year the record has improved still. His 3rd year as a head coach but it looks like he’s has the chops to be the guy. Something you can tell from Autry after year 3, hell even after year 1 you could tell he didn’t have the chops. Skinn has a presence and commands the room. 3) Travis Steele- he was so-so at Xavier. He has ties recruiting wise. He’d be a realistic hire. He’s KILLING it at Miami (OH) now. They are doing a hell of a job. Sometimes it just doesn’t work at certain schools and you are just a better fit at other schools. He’s a good ball coach and has a lot of experience as an assistant and head coach. He was never bad at Xavier. Had some good seasons, but even his bad seasons were nothing like Autrys. Steele wouldn’t be my first call as the other two would. But Steele is still a good option [/QUOTE]
