I hear you.  But the way I look at it, part of it is righting a wrong that occurred 3 years ago.  While Red clearly had seniority most felt the better coach was passed up.

A big part of what’s missing is the coach with fire.  A team will always take on the personality of the coach.  If he’s weak they will be too.  GMAC has always been a winner.  He has fire.  In some respects his coaching demeanor reminds me more of Coach K than JB. These are all good things.

He has to get his staff right.  It’s critical they have fundamentals locked down.  And they have to be able to recruit and retain.  Can he be a Fran Brown type?  TBD.

But I don’t even want to think about a world where SU has to fire GMAC.  I cannot even fathom that.  So I’m content to watch it play out knowing it has to work.  The downside is too unbearable to think about.

This guy took the biggest moment in program history and decided “I’m gonna be the star tonight”.  You don’t teach that.  It’s in your DNA.  And it never goes away.  It seeps out everyday in everything a person does.

I’m behind GMAC because he cannot fail.  He will not allow it to happen.
