It almost like you want to ignore that I addressed that directly by pointing out the staff - the people reporting to the “new” people - have been here and were part of the problem.  If “culture” is the people working there, and almost all the people working there have not changed - why would the culture get better?   Just magically because we hired a new AD - he can come in, wave a magic wand, and everyone will suddenly get along?  Or - here’s a crazy thought - he provides leadership and direction which allows the culture to change over time.  Part of that leadership is not giving in to the pressure to hire a guy who has the potential to ossify the culture just by his presence.   Which is possible since hiring Gerry absolutely gives those people the opportunity to carry on old feuds, because of his ties to JB.  (If you don’t think people who had beef with JB won’t carry that over to Gerry, I question how much experience observing the behavior of actual humans you have).

People have an irrational love for McNamara which is making them actively ignore what a spectacularly bad decision hiring him would be - both for Syracuse and him.  The more this discussion goes on, the more I’m trending in the opposite direction - now I think there is no other candidate for the head coach of basketball at Syracuse who would be a worse hire than Gerry McNamara.
