Nothing earth shattering.

He did a very good job turning Siena's fortunes around quickly.  But it's a one season thing, obviously wasn't sustained (since he left), and who knows if he can replicate that in the ACC.

His recruiting at SU was underwhelming.  Maybe that had a lot to do with JB's disinterest in closing, and maybe it's less relevant in the NIL era.  But we still gotta convince great players to come to SU, especially when the money is roughly equal between us and a competitor.

No one really has a great feel for the effectiveness of his offensive and defensive philosophies.  Part of that is only having coached 2 years at a low major.  Maybe he's a brilliant strategic mind, but we haven't seen it.

Gerry checks all the intangible boxes.  And he'll excite the fans and donor class.  But we really don't know what we'll get when the season tips off.  He just doesn't have much of a track record.

Look, every coach we were targeting would have brought some unknowns and concerns with him.  I'm not singling Gerry out, so don't bring your "Gerry hater" energy to me.

There's simply a lot we don't know.
