Jamal Brunt: New Assistant Coach

That made me unsure why he came. Good friends with GMac? More autonomy?

Maybe he’s making better money but without the title. I can see a downside with a new staff calling one of them Associate Head Coach.

Since Brunt was Associate Head Coach at Penn State, I thought he might get the same title here. It is a step up in program, but not the massive step up it would have been a decade ago. And I don't know if Syracuse can pay better than Penn State for assistants.

There must be a sizable pay increase. It’d be surprising for a guy to leave the coach he played for in college and who he’s spent the last 8 years coaching under for a job that doesn’t pay a lot better. Could be wrong but seems like that has to be a big factor.

Ask 1,000 people which is cooler…:

1) I’m a basketball coach for Syracuse University, or

2) I’m a basketball coach at Penn State

…and I think Syracuse wins that one handily.

A lateral move with a tick up in salary.
