Thamel: It’s GMac

I’ll say this: if the NIL money is as high as it has been speculated, there is absolutely no reason for us not to be ranked to start the season. That alone will create some good hype and the feeling like this team will be different. Hopefully is lasts.
No pressure

I think there is next to zero chance we start the season ranked
 
I love GMac and he deserves a great job, but i can’t fathom how anyone can think this is the right hire? He should have got the job instead of Red, full stop. Hop should have taken over for JB according to plan, full stop. Unfortunately, neither happened and this is where we are because of it. Going back to the well of Boeheim players/coaches is not the answer. While this may look like the safe choice , something that was not needed in this case, it is by far the most risky. If it doesn’t work that’s a terrible look for the new AD, who apparently hasn’t been aware of what fans have been talking about for 10 years now in needing a clean break. Worst of all, if things go bad with Gerry, i don’t want to have a bad falling out after all that’s he’s done for the program.
 
I love Gerry McNamara. I even went to his G-League games. When I told my wife the news, she said, "Now we got a chance." However, I don't expect miracles—just to be ranked on day one and to be cutting down the nets in 2027. Signed, Pollyanna.

All we have to by at this time is his coaching resume that’s actually pretty damn good so far. Will it translate? Time will tell
