Yes Gerry would be my choice as coach, but not for his legendary status as Cuse Player and need  to keep in family. I do watch a lot hoops, prob too much.. Are there possibly better up and coming coahes.. maybe?

1. I am sure I don't want an older coach or a retread hire.. sorry Hop, Mack, Matta, Pitino, Groce. Yu get my drift
2. The Cuse thing. We have a Unicorn of a program with a Coach that lasted 40+ years and won with his High IQ and lets be honest a system gimic in the zone that he mastered.. Yeah we had players, but its like the Military academies and their option FB. We won a lot of games cause there are alot of bad coaches who couldnt figure out the zone. Syracuse is a small private University in wintery Central NY .. With all that said, we could use a coach that knows how Cuse ticks and what can make it successful 
3. I have said this before Gerry is not JB and def not Red.. He is his own ID... He cannot be compared to other Cuse players coaching cause he has done what no other has .. Won a title at Syracuse and was a huge part of that. Yes he knows about winning and his competitive  drive is off the charts

Finally I am going tp make a comparison that isnt fully parallel but take a look at Todd Goldens journey, yeah the current National title coach at Florida.. He didnt have a major resume  before he got to FL.. He spent 2 years assistant at Auburn when they were bad.. He had a bad 2nd year at San Fran in WCC and then got to tourney in 3rd year... Not alot there but they just saw what he was gonna be and now is
