Gerry Staff Predictions…

[djorange1989]

UConn has 4 assistant coaches and 11 support staff as an example. That includes 4 or 5 GAs.

But 2 of those 11 support staff are actually two guys who work at the local mental facility who escort Hurley back there after each game

As much as we want to give GMAC kudos for bringing these guys in as Assistants, let’s not forget the money Syracuse is putting into it. I’m sure these two guys aren’t coming cheap simply because they are recognized as young up and coming coaches who in two or three years will probably head off to be head coaches at their own programs. I’m sure Gerry sold them on a vision and how they can advance their careers with his help. Syracuse ponied up the money for Fran to bring in higher paid Assistants, and I’m sure they’ll do the same for Gerry, regardless of how the staff closes out.

It’s about damn time, though. Don’t you think? We have been behind the eight-ball for awhile. I’m not sure how much Red was pushing behind the scenes, but the university leadership has been as slow footed as can be adjusting to new realities.

Gmac no doubt made increased staffing support and money for those postions a key part of his contract negotiations (I assume Schertz did too when BB was negotiating with him).

I sort of liked Engelstad. Just a big time presence on the bench this year. Hard to replace that.

Cheerleader?

HC: McNamara
Assistant: Brunt
Assistant: Daly
Assistant: Lee (?)
*Assistant: Blackwell (?)
Operations: Corasaniti
*Special Assistant to Head Coach:
GM: OPEN
*Player Development 1: Onuaku (?)
*Player Development 2: OPEN

* Denotes new positions potentially. Can't confirm the player development positions will be added, but every other big-time program has them. And many higher mid-major type programs do too. Also added the 4th assistant based on a prior post.

The fact that this program has been operating with the staffing it has is negligence.

John Daly. Sweet

Can you expand on that? Just curious on how you came to that conclusion, unless, it was just a late April 1st joke.

He’s being sarcastic. I assume.

 

[hoopsupstate]

He’s a passionate and competitive guy. Sounds like he gets a little emotional and fired up at times too.

John Daly. Sweet

He has a new job, so he will be busy.

Without Engelstad we wouldn’t have won 10 effn games this year!

The first thing GMac is doing that Red didn't was to fill all his Assistant coaches' slots and hire people from outside the family.

actually reds staff, with the exception of griff, was outside the family. engelstad, straughn and kline.

This staff already looks better on paper. I still would have kept Kline
