Here is the concern with GMac, and it is the same concern you get when you hire any mid-major coach
to a high major school...

You were able to motivate kids at a mid to play, to buy in, kids who are likely not going to leave in a year 
or two, unless they now are poached away to a high level program, and you now are able to get the kids
who are leaving the high level programs for whatever reason, who you can develop.

Can you now do that at a program where the kids are wanting to leave at the drop of a hat for more
NIL elsewhere, or for the NBA, and who have little interest in developing as players?

Do you trust that GMac is ready to do that at SU?  I'm not sure - at this moment - he has had the
exposure as a head coach to that level of talent yet, cuz I think we can agree SU's talent has dropped
a bit the last decade or so.  I'm of the opinion he probably can do the job; I'm of the opinion in a 
couple of years, he'd be better at the job, but he needs success at a level above Siena first.  But I 
would hate to see him lock into a school like Providence, and succeed to the point where the 
Syracuse job isn't necessarily the next best step for him.
