Negativity noted. It sucks.

Im just saying.

What if things dont go well in.the portal? Are we allowed to criticize?

Nope!

Everything is coming up Millhouse Newhouse!!

We could not possibly have made a better hire!!

He just had the… 9th best season in Siena history!!

And surely he and his staff with crush it in the portal, and/or bringing over his guys from Siena.

Happy days are here again!!

I didn’t think sarcasm font was necessary here.

LOL too bad we didn't get together. If I recall we met in 2000. The CSNY2K concert at the Palace of Auburn Hills? Or maybe McCartney, but I think it was CSNY. Opening night of the tour, first time they had appeared together in many years, and Crosby blew his voice out near the end.

It was the CSNY concert. Years later, I saw CSN in concert with my older son (a CSNY fan).

Im just saying.

Only losers think like losers, in sports, in business and in life. Try starting by at least thinking the glass is half full. Every true Syracuse fan should start thinking positively.

Great post Dick. I will add to your summary of his basketball stats at SU. He is also #1 in 3 PT shots made (400) and attempted (1,131) and also #1 in FT shooting percentage @ 88.3.%

So happy to read your post and to know Gerry is back where he belonged after JB retired.

Thank you for your positive attitude before the negativity starts.

He got hired mainly to fix our free throw shooting lol

We really aren't going to know much until they actually play games. After all the 2003 team didn't have Billy for the first 14 games.

Right. Maybe we wait to see what happens over the course of a season?

Sometimes the best guy at a job isn't the best guy for the job. Only time will tell.

Welcome aboard HCGM, LGO

 

[bballbeadle]

Bro please. Everybody likes Gerry we're just concerned that this could be a complete disaster and the bullet in the brain of the program

And maybe, just maybe, he will be great. You and many others have made your concerns known. I have concerns as well, but why go there when the deed is done?

Ain’t no coach in America that can do that.

 

[CuseFan]

Welcome Home!
We are excited to have you make Cuse be relevant and exciting again!

 

[orange79]

Tell you what…….The Cuse fan base is very happy right now except for like 90% of this fan board. Never been more disappointed in this place. Know you don’t hate Gerry personally but as far as him as a potential coach, it’s been undeniable Gerry hate.( for most of you)

Let's get real for a minute.

There isn't any Gerry hate. There never was, and never will be. NO ONE hates Gerry.

Some posters have legitimate concerns about his hiring. I think (and again, I only THINK) you can admit that. But no one hates Gerry. Unless you feel everyone should think exactly the same way you do.

So come down from your high horse and try to understand the other side. For once.

Thank you. This is where we're at in 2026. If you disagree w/ me, you are a hater and a terrible person.

Jesus had his detractors too.

 

[Briancuse]

Does anyone have any idea when this will become official?

 

[Brooky03]

In their defense, if a dude told me he walked on water I’d call BS, too.

 

[hoopsupstate]

I was a little surprised that I’ve received texts from people saying they are excited to have GMAC back. These are from casual SU fans. I think the average SU fan is very happy. It allows them to go back to better times. He gave us a lot of great memories.

Heard he's just waiting for the OK from LAOrange once that thumbs up comes we're good.

Sure it's great for memories. I can go watch any gmac game on YouTube. If things don't go well those casual fans will turn.

Is there a coach casual fans wouldn’t turn on if things go poorly?

 

[Briancuse]

Yes I think they would.

 

[Brooky03]

Yes I think they would.

Edited to “wouldn’t.” But you got the idea. Fans are gonna turn on anybody who doesn’t win.

Is an official announcement scheduled by the University? Haven't seen one published yet myself.

Can't remember the coach but he had a great line. If I walked on water my critics would say I can't swim.

It’s only for insiders.
