Gerry McNamara needs to be the next coach

I want Jerry get the job. But he has only two years. Not three years. He has to finish ACC top 6 in his second year. I think SU can still afford two years.
 
If Providence gets Hodgson over us, I will be apoplectic. And I don’t even care the reasons why. We will rue the day that we let him get away. We are not a serious program if we concede Hodgson to tiny little PC with their puny enrollment and sad little fanbase. We had a year to prepare for Red needing to be fired and to accumulate NIL funding for this year.

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.
We’ve all talked about it endlessly. Keep
Up. Hs lack of offensive vision and identity is our problem with him. And no, Gmac knowing how to run set plays better than Red is not the same thing. Oh, and he’s not a proven recruiter of high level talent .

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
Young coaches... how about Todd Golden?... Think it over a bit... The onetime poster formerly known as FLACUSIAN
Todd Golden is a proven offensive coach whose system is based on analytics. Gmac has been slow to embrace analytics. Look at his comments from when he was an assistant.
