Message: [QUOTE="Cusefan95, post: 5727194, member: 173"] If Gerry had McCaffery’s resume (minus the ten years as an assistant at ND in the middle of head coaching jobs for no obvious reason) - I would be thrilled. Even if all he had was McCaffery’s Siena resume, I’d be thrilled. I don’t know too many people that are concerned that have “he played here” as a primary or secondary issue. I do think the fact he played here IS a primary reason for his biggest supporters - and if he was John Smith with two years at Siena and just got hired, those same people would be enraged. Them turning around and saying the people who were opposed to it was “just because he’s a Syracuse guy” is classic gaslighting behavior. But I’ll give them credit, it worked to some degree because you bought it. Sometimes high risk decisions work out. Somebody wins the lottery most weeks. Hopefully this is a high risk decision that works out and we hit the lottery. [/QUOTE]
