Gerry McNamara needs to be the next coach

[rrlbees]

Before we worry about consistency we need to worry about the immediate future. Hiring a guy with a 2-7 record in anything other than Q4 doesn’t scream immediate success.

well when you have Q4 talent...

We need somebody who understands NIL and the portal. And that person has to have enough clout to get su fficient NIL dollars.

G-mac is our best choice. Cuse is no longer a final destination. If a new coach is successful he will be poached. Our history was based on coaching consistency. G-Mac is our only option to return to coaching consistency.
People wishing for a magical new coach are ignoring the reality of our situation.

Who wants consistency with mediocrity -- at best -- and 3 losing seasons in the last 5 years?

To heck with small-time strategic thinking. That type of mentality is why we hired an unqualified candidate last time, because hiring from within was the path of least resistance.

 

[RF2044]

Gmac….Gmoney!!!! Like it or not, he’s our next HC.

If this was imminent, why would we have dismissed EVERYBODY on the staff, including the support staff?

That's not what you would do if you were planning on keeping it in-house again. Would make zero sense.

Which informs why GMac won't be the guy. Wrong circumstances for a relatively unproven coach, after the last unproven guy who also was an in-house hire bombed.

That’s a defeatist attitude, let’s not hire someone because we might lose them.

Wichita St shockers looked pretty tough and very balanced... Giles is a special player.

Should be a good game vs Hodg and the bulls.

Doty, maybe the big, certainly AO and Blackwell.

Would be a complete disaster to have assistant coaches worse than this year's group.

Gavin Doty would average 5 ppg at a high major program.

I’m really worried about recruiting chops with this group

 

[TampaLaker]

Well, you made a bunch of disrespectful comments then, didn't you? Accusing people of being irrational nutcases, calling coaches drug addicts, calling other fans infatuated school girls, saying people that support Gerry are nursing hurt feelings, etc., etc. None of this strikes you as being on the stupid side of message board idiocy? No one is confused, you're just acting like an ass.

He did call people irrational nutcases; however, he did not call coaches drug addicts nor other fans school girls. He used a rhetorical device known to make a comparison and show how he felt their arguments were so emotional that arguments he held were rational would never be accepted.
You may disagree with his supposition BUT please stop saying he called any coach a drug addict or fans school girls. It is disingenuous.

I share the concern that some in the fan base don't recognize what would translate and what would not to the ACC level.

As usual you have absolutely zero clue.

Right there with dumbest posts ever. When has a basketball coach ever left Syracuse for a bigger job?

Agree about Doty. I see him more of a role player at the power conference level.

I dropped that subject days ago, try to keep up.

Roy Danforth. He was the guy before JB. He left us for Tulane.

Roy's Runts. Went to the Final Four in 1975 with the guys who were just honored. Jimmy Lee and Rudy Hackett. Roy started my love of SU basketball. He was the coach while I was at SU.

Before my time... I was 4.

Don't remember much in the way of SU games until about 1978 when I started to get into players and stats.

I don't care if our next coach leaves as long as he's successful. I also don't think the next coach will necessarily leave.

Also, I would honestly rather get punched in the face medium hard once a day for the next 3 years than hire G-Mac. I'm sick of this post-Boeheim bull, and I don't necessarily care that he's won at Sienna. I wouldn't have wanted Hodgson immediately after Arkansas State, and I don't want G-Mac after Sienna.

What about Doty's skill set makes you think he could handle FAR more athletic defenders in the ACC?

I don’t want Gmac and I don’t want Doty, but he had 25 and 8 against the Bonnies and had 16 and 6 against Indiana. He wouldn’t be a star, but the 5pg a game you stated isn’t accurate either.

 

[FireballPhil]

If we get GMac,do we win 10 games?

 

[Dcuse]

I know this. Was Tulane a bigger job? He was 45-90 at Tulane and they made him the assistant AD.
