Luck is where preparation meets opportunity.  UConn was prepared and saw success when opportunity presented itself.  Syracuse has been consistently unprepared for a decade.  Even if there was an opportunity, there was no way to take advantage of it.  And even if GMac is an “opportunity” - we’re not going to take advantage of it if “more competitive than the 2026 trainwreck” is the bar decision-makers have set.

I think some of the low bar setting is because of how adamant some here were that GMac was “the guy”.  Now that the folks that are convinced we should never, ever consider a coach that didn’t play at Syracuse carried the day - the focus has shifted to setting the bar for “success” in year one as low as possible.  It’s just a continuation of the loser mentality within the fanbase and administration that has infected Syracuse for years.  Losers talk about how winners got lucky while setting their own bar for success as low as possible.

If we don’t make the NCAA tournament in year one, hiring GMac is well on the way to being a massive failure.  Period, end of story.
