Yeah, so, the thing is if a podcast interview with Devo has any bearing on the athletic department's decision to hire the next HC that isn't exactly refuting the insanity already displayed by UNC and Duke and that by hiring internally we're absolutely stealing the crazy crown for ourselves.
Ooooooooh man that's scary logic to me.
Then we tell Hop be prepared to resign from huskies at a moments notice.
Love and fishing poles don’t win games.
Devos podcast is for entertainment purposes but it also gives us fans a great insight into GMAC’s passion and basketball knowledge. He has won at every level and his ability to relate to teammates and current players appears unmatched. By the way I find it odd that neither Red or Allan Griffin have not participated in Devo’s podcast. I did a search of both coaches and can’t find any recent interviews about either to highlight or show their knowledge and personalities.
Cuz it worked out so poorly last time?
There is no "coaching pecking order." In the real world successful companies don't promote people based on how long they've been there. They promote who they think will be the best person for that specific job. A company that promotes solely based on who "deserves" a job will eventually find themselves with deserving but unqualified people in charge.
What an absolutely enjoyable 60 minutes. I heartily recommend listening.
What a ridiculous comment. GMac is a great winner at all levels, has great passion for the sport, is organized, enthusiastic, and has a love for the Syracuse basketball tradition. He’s also been recently taking the lead on all recruiting and has been with the coaching staff for 10 years. I don’t think we find a better candidate with these types of Syracuse connections.
How qualified was JAB in 1976???
The recent hires at Duke, UNC and Michigan, Indiana tells me that hiring from your own “family” is preferable. Syracuse basketball has always prided itself on continuity and the family atmosphere. Do you really think after 50 years of JB they suddenly go outside the family? We’ve seen both types of hires on the FB side with our recent coaching hires. I would rather roll with Hop, Red or GMAC than some unknown outside candidate who has moderate coaching success elsewhere.
It would be ineresting to know what kids are committed to Duke & UNC for 2022 and beyond. They were recruited with/by Hall of Fame coaches (who sealed the deal? ) Are those kids still set on those schools? Duke regularly gets at least a top 10 recruiting class, with UNC in that range. That goes a long ways towards continuity. If Scheyer and Davis can't get off to a good start with those types of recruits then they won't last. That said the next SU coach be it Red or GMac or an outsider won't have that advantage.
You are probably going to be disappointed. I seriously doubt there will be a national search. It will be an in-house promotion or Hop.
A 40 year old example in changing environment doesn't really apply. Beside JB had an opportunity to be head coach at the UofR to use as leverage. What leverage do GMac and Red have?
I totally agree
