And we’ll be in the Big East conference with DePaul.

Eep. They locked it.
I'm not gonna lie, this year Sienna became a side team for me and that's gonna stick regardless of what happens to Gerry. I'll feel a little bad if we steal him, but not too bad if that's where we're headed.

If we hire GMac and it doesn’t work out - I don’t think there are any pieces to pick up. Turn out the lights, the party is over - Syracuse basketball is officially as relevant as DePaul.
But if we hire Hodgson or Murray or Holloway or Jay Wright, and it doesn’t work out - I think we will be able to pick the pieces up. Turn on the lights! The party is just getting started! Syracuse basketball is officially back as long as we go outside the SU family!

So you are saying the new coach is going to be Nate Champion?

I’m Just happy there’s a whole new thread on this.
Ding ding... what if GMAC is the best available candidate of the ones whom we have a realistic shot of getting. Let's assume that the ISU coach and coaches at his level are not realistic... who is left and why are they better than GMAC. I'll include BH. Please also assess whether they will leave for the next best job and include that in your evaluation

Siena thinks they should go after Luke Murray if Gerry bolts.

Anyone being honest with themselves will realize hiring GMac is a high variance decision. That’s inherent in hiring a guy with a total of two years experience - there isn’t a lot of history to judge. It could work out great. It could also be a disaster. High ceiling, very low floor. I’d rather we get a coach with a much higher floor, even if that means a lower ceiling, because we absolutely need this hiring to be successful. I’ll consider successful a guy who gets us into the tournament most years, even if Syracuse is generally a #6-11 seed.
I’m not generally risk averse - I’ve said I will consider the Fran Brown hiring a success no matter how it plays out from here. We needed an outside the box hire with a chance to be a grand slam - part of that is taking on the risk of a guy with a low ceiling. We’ve already seen “high ceiling, low floor” play out in just two years in football (which is frankly astonishing, I can’t think of any other time I’ve seen that).
I don’t think this is the time for Syracuse basketball to be trying to hit a grand slam with a big risk of a strikeout. It’s the time for a high OBP guy who will get us a single. I’ll settle for a walk. A strikeout is probably fatal to the program’s relevance.
