For the longest time i was very much against Gmac. Felt he was mediocre at best and undeserving of being an assistant coach.

Today i truly believe he is the right guy to take over for Jim.
Here are a few reasons.

1: He bleeds Orange. He lives and dies for Syracuse and i believe that is so important.  He understands the Culture of not only SU but as importantly the area. SU is unique. Yes its a storied Basketball school but the area is unique and Gmac loves it.

2: He can recruit and will recruit better when hes in Charge.  I actually think that Jim loses as many if not more kids than not based on his age and personality.  Hes definitely not for everyone and he doesn't seem to connect with todays players.

3: Gmac is driven and as tough a competitor as we have ever had

4: Hes a Guard and you cant win Basketball games without great Guard play. Id bet anything he was disappointed when Kadary left and if he was head coach im sure hed still be on the team.

5: Hiring the guy to follow a HOF coach is a total crap shoot. Giving Gmac the shot and keeping it in house is the right move. If he fails you move on.

Why blow up 60 years of success. By a cleanse i meant moving on from Jim as a coach. Not what hes built.
