Thamel: It’s GMac

[Eric15]

After Autry was hired, it seemed like the chances of GMac ever being the coach was extraordinarily small. It was either a) Red would be successful and a new coach wasn’t needed or b) we would go in a non-SU direction if Red failed. Life is always unpredictable.

I don’t love the GMac hire but he’s the best possible option given the circumstances.

What's different about it?

Those guys hadn’t coached a second of college basketball prior as the head guy.

I agree since the circumstances meant he or Hop.

Like I said in the other thread

Congrats to GMac and good luck

He won’t fail.

He won’t fail. Just like marrone didn’t fail. They both have IT.

How much NIL did Adam give?

I recall Boeheim saying his top NLI guy or donor hasn't done anything in a interview. For all the talk about AW what has he every actually contributed?

 

[atlanticuse]

How is it clear? He’s Red light.

no hockey line shifts...

Here’s my thing: REGARDLESS of who anyone wanted, Gerry deserves to be supported by us. Dude is a Syracuse legend, one of our own and had no part in our issues the last two years.

No argument from me to the should have gone outside the family people, but if he is the guy, the fanbase needs to collectively get behind him until there’s a reason not to.

 

[Cuse_NYC]

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 shot we will be

Couldn't be more depressed

Please tell me this isn't Bryan Blair.

What about the 8 years prior?

 

[Briancuse]

Please tell me this isn't Bryan Blair.

I can confirm I'm not. I wouldn't have hired gmac.

 

[orangezen]

Just in time for buddy to take the helm.

 

[Cuse_NYC]

Let’s hope we ain’t retaining many..

 

[capeorange]

I expect to play in the ncaa tournament next season. We’ll see if the staff can do it.

Anything less than the sweet 16 will be a disappointment.

 

[SwagSocks]

Let’s go!

I’m all in. Wasn’t it a rumor that JB wanted GMac to take the job 3 years ago?

 

[BillSU]

Congratulations Gerry - you certainly have worked so hard as a player and coach, put the time in and deserve this position as Head Coach of Syracuse Basketball. Just WIN baby!

 

[OrangeXtreme]

 

[baggerbob]

If this doesn’t work out in the next 3 years, JB will be 84 and we’ll be all out of realistic alum candidates.

Let's put it this way it has to work out or the school might be looking for a new Chancellor, and AD in 3 years.

Doty and Folefac can 100% play at this level. Moesch makes me nervous as he’s really small but he is definitely skilled. LOVE Folefac. I think he could probably be an ACC level starter at most ACC schools tbh. I’m fine with Doty coming here but off the bench. He’ll be a good 6th or 7th man.

you and I said almost the same exact thing two messages apart hahah

 

[DoctorBombay]

Seems like he mostly supports himself. Is he ready to really invest in the program, or bring stars in for himself?

Bingo. I wasn’t on the gmac side, and im skeptical but there’s not a single reason or chance I won’t support him and the program. That doesn’t mean we all have to be yes men its okay to call a spade a spade, no one is susceptible to Critisism that’s how you improve, get better, etc. However, the more support and fanfare we show GMAC and the program when needed and deserved, the better chance we’re all together and putting our best foot foreward.
