The more i think about it the more I realize that Gerry has to be the guy.
You need a coach who is a killer. Red was not that. But you saw Gerry do that for 4 years as a player and now at Siena he did it too. Gavin Doty isnt the most gifted player on the court but nobody outworks him. That is the intangible that Gerry brings.
Let him get some better players who fit his mentality and the program will be back.
You were all jackin off over Hodgson and yet he just got waxed by Louisville while Siena gave Duke a battle with 5 guys.
A young Pitino.
And no this isnt from a half. I went to Siena. I missed probably 3 halves all season. You see it every game.

Whether it happens this year or next, Gerry seems ready to move to a bigger stage.
I thought there was no chance that one winning season in the MAAC was enough to warrant consideration for SUHC but what do I know?

My question is what is he going to learn in a year at the A-10 or American that he doesn’t already know from playing days, and days being an assistant at Syracuse?

He is building something really special at Siena. I’d like to see him stay there for 2-3 more years and make a Sweet 16.
Keep the staff, maybe add an offensive asst., keep the roster together (bags will be coming for Doty and Folefac), get Coyle a grad year if he wants it, fold in the ‘26 class, get guys back from injury, and add 1 or 2 from the portal.
That whole experience will only make Gmac better able to replicate it at SU in a few years. And it gives Blair time to bulldoze the staus quo and pave a runway for modern change that would better allow Gerry to thrive in 2028 or 29.
Downfall is it means renting a coach for 2 years of bottom dwelling and building a nil campaign on hope. And hope is not a strategy.

Siena doesn’t have the money for that.
