Gerry McNamara needs to be the next coach

[Dcuse]

If it is Gerry, It’s up to us to get him the players he needs. Because he sure as hell can coach them.

Hodgeson - 2 halves. full game

About 24 hours ago, many posts on Internet have said Hodgeson is off board of Syracuse HC candidates. Although never confirmed by SU, I think it is true. Either he found a big bidder or USF has matched SU offer.

Other than minimal time as a head coach, it would be refreshing to see what specifics his critics have regarding his coaching abilities. Just being part of the Syracuse pipeline doesn't make any sense as either a qualifier or a non qualifier for the job. In fairness to him, he definitely looks and conducts himself as a totally independent person with his own ideas and certainly his own level of passion he brings to his team. He also has a real emotional connection to SU which makes him unique, more than someone who is just chasing the $$ and looking for the next move up the coaching hierarchy.

He's always had an insanely high basketball IQ, guys LOVE playing for him, and he wants to win badly enough that he's not gonna worry about hurting a guy's feelings by not playing him. I also don't agree with folks who don't want to take the risk because the program's over if we don't get it right this time. It's the NIL age; a coach and team can be bought quickly. This is a special opportunity with some risk but a really high reward.

This year they struggled with 3 pt offense and defense. Think it was largely personnel driven but can’t say definitively.

So, is GMAC head coach yet?

Gotta love that!

Gerry just needs to figure out to run “sets” on offense then maybe he could beaten Duke as a 30 point under dog. Come on Gerry!

Analytics and a modern offense! Gerry would have won

Hey all, I'm going to go ahead and hop on this bandwagon.

All the stuff about putting butts in seats was always true. The big unknown for me was that he was untested against steep competition. That was tested today in about the toughest way it could've been, and the competition freely admits he did a better job.

Wow... shocking what I've seen here... I've been a Cuse fan since 73... Was not Boeheim a former player?... How much gravitas had he aquired at the time he was name coach. GMAC just took a delpleted team to the precipice of upsetting an number 1 seeded Duke ...with essentially 5 players. Y'all need to recalibrate your assumptions and prejudices made bitter by 5 painful seasons... and stop thinking there is some magical selection that is going to appear in a pixie dust storm in the dome to rescue a once legendary program. I moved to Fla in 93 and remained a stoic SU fan in spite of 2 of my daughters going to Florida
