Among other things Red is not "far more experienced" than GMac. His additional experience compared to GMac is 2 years of high school coaching and 1 year as an assistant at VT. They both started as cuse assistant coaches in 2011. GMac has technically been here longer since he was a manager from 09-11. The only thing Red had on GMac is a made up title. Acting like this would be some kind of major racially tinged story line that would stick with us in the long term is just silly!! We chose Red over Gmac for reasons other than avoiding some kind of narrative, likely his relative success as a recruiter. Their resumes are close to identical aside from Red being older!

People vastly overestimate the extent people care about race in these situations. White candidates are chosen over black candidates for coaching positions every year. Can you even name a school that got accused of racism for a coaching hire choice? What would the headline for us even be? "Syracuse racistly chooses hiring 12 year assistant coach over other 12 year assistant coach" ??
