This seems like 5 dimensional chess where GMac will be head coach

First, even though GMac was JB’s choice to replace him, he couldn’t jump over Red because Red was Associate HC with more experience, plus other factors

Red is given the job with basically no other candidates being considered. He was also given little resources or has the strategic mind to develop a program in the new world of college basketball. He fails and is fired.

GMac, in parallel, goes to Siena and turns the program around, albeit at a significantly lower conference. He’s cut his teeth to show he can coach, at least at a lower level.

Next, everyone is clamoring to go outside the family. Here’s a guy from upstate NY that grew up a Cuse fan who has successfully turned around two programs and feels like the obvious choice. Talks, if they are happening, somehow fall apart, even though the guy is busy prepping his team for the biggest game of his life.

Now there’s no other candidates being considered except GMac. So he’ll get the job he should have gotten 3 years ago.

Seems like a masterful plan.
