Message: [QUOTE="WoadBlue, post: 5725190, member: 1145"] Syracuse now is suffering from the same basic thing that UNC is: assuming that hiring an alum who had been on staff for a ,long time would work well. At least neither of us got a Kenny Payne, but we bite gt guys who seemed to have been prepared carefully to take over and simply could not get the job done to the level that fans expect and boosters demand. McNamara is a different animal. He did not joust stay at Syracuse and gain tin outside experience. His Siena work has ben excellent. Sp he has HC experience, most specifically experience in rebuilding a program that was far worse off than it should have been when he started the job. The game plan he had for Dook was great, and his team never doubted that they could get the job done. All that tells me that McNamara has learned a good deal from just 2 years at Siena. [/QUOTE]
