Message: [QUOTE="CuseMan4, post: 5726528, member: 5564"] Listen I was team BH as well. G-Mac was probably my 3rd or 4th choice. Does not mean he can’t have success here. To sell you on G-Mac; the guy went to Siena 2 years ago where they were a 4 win team. They dramatically improved in G-macs first year and year 2 they won 20+ games, won their conference and took the overall number 1 seed in the tourney to the wire and probably should have beat them. That’s an impressive rebuild no matter what level of D1 basketball. Furthermore, he has shown he can identify and develop talent. Doty and Folefac were sophomores and freshman this year respectively. Neither was even rated by any recruiting services and both killed it this year. Doty 18ppg and would be a solid 6 to 7th man here. Folefac is probably a legit P4 starter that G-Mac has identified and developed those 2. Continued, G-Mac is Syracuse through and through. He has the playing career, championship and now coaching chops to back it up. He was an assistant here a long time. He knows what it takes to win here and what the expectations are as fans, alumni and former players. Lastly people are gonna compare G-Mac and Autry. Not comparable. Autry should have never gotten the head job. I was very vocal about it the day he was hired and I know a few others were as well. If you were gonna hand it over. It should have been to G-Mac 3 years ago…..G-Mac is a lot better in game coach, actually makes half time adjustments, knows a sub rotation, is actually basketball smart, is a much better communicator than Autry and can command a room like Autry could now. Players play HARD for G-Mac and they love playing got him. I’m telling you right now you give Autry and G-Mac the same roster and they got head to head. G-Macs team is winning 9/10 times. Once again G-Mac was not my first choice but everyone should be rooting hard for him and donating. G-Mac is Syracuse through and through and if you are a true Cuse fan you should be rooting HARD for the success of any Cuse coach. Especially a legend like G-Mac. I want nothing more than for G-Mac to win one as a player and a few as a coach here. Build that statue for him and be the best to ever to do it at Cuse [/QUOTE]
