Message: [QUOTE="Irishsecra1, post: 5356999, member: 8453"] LOL. We would be lucky if we could get his frosh Doty! Sigh - GMAC is no dummy and he has feelings. He was passed over by JW even though JB wanted him as his successor. Go back to the beginning of this thread to see the discussions on that. He is doing well at Siena. His players like him, the fans love him, he has built a good culture and he has an easier path to the NCAAs than we currently do. And he wants to get back to the NCAA tournament, he has made that clear in interviews. Like us, he has to win the conference tournament to get in. Unlike us, he has a legitimate shot to do it. Marist is first in the league, he lost by a point to them on a buzzer beater. Quin is second in the league, he beat them by 9 points 2 weeks ago. The only other team above him in the league that he has not beaten, he only lost to by 6. I am not predicting they will win the tournament, but they have a decent shot to do it. We have no shot to win the ACC tournament, we might not even make the tournament. I love GMAC, as I think most of us on this board do. I have started watching Siena because their games are really entertaining, unlike the sludge SU games have become. But he will not be our head coach any time in the near future. He could win MAAC coach of the year, win the tournament and get to the NCAA tournament (this year or a future) and JW wont even give him a sniff. And I dont think GMAC would have interest right now. Why should he want to take over this dumpster fire? And face criticism for replacing Red? And face criticism for being another JB family member? Too much pressure, too much noise for little reward. Our team is really bad right now. JW wont replace Red with GMAC, as that would admit he screwed up on the Red hiring. God forbid that JB actually knew who would be the better head coach. Maybe in 5 years if GMAC does as well as I believe he will, there will be a serious discussion. Not before then though. Until then, we suffer thru next year which will probably be more of the same. And then do a national search in another year. I will attend SU games out of duty. I will watch Siena games on ESPN Plus for enjoyment. [/QUOTE]
