Donald Copeland is hungry to win. I have been impressed with him. Don't think Siena can afford to make that hire. If Gerry McNamara leaves his $800k per year job for a $400k per year job, I'd would seriously question his judgment - especially with a family of six. I don't expect any of you state employee hacks that made $40k per year for 30 years or make $70k per year today to understand the difference between $400k and $800k when you have a family of 6. G-Mac doesn’t make 800k!? Where did you get this my number from. I’ve heard 375-400k from a very reputable source. The Syracuse hack that has been posting here insists GMAC is at $800k. He does have the Assoc Head Coach title and other high-profile northeast assistants are making that kind of money (Kimani Young's UConn salary is public and is $800k, Luke Murray is about $500k). I don't think people on here understand the scope of making $800k v $400k. Not even in the same ballpark. If GMAC is making that kind of money, Siena is really going to have to step up to the plate and they should.

I thought I remember Brady taking his name out of consider forever after being passed over twice. There was some bad blood I believe. Did he change his mind?

Hey Frank, I know this is unrelated to the threat but my brother set up the NIL for BC and he told me he set it up as a not for profit so all contributions are tax deductible. He's an attorney and I'm in medicine so the details were a little bit lost on me. I was just wondering if this was something you have looked into, could be a big boost for the collectible.

They’re going to hire him because he attracts the casuals and will solve their attendance problem. Doesn’t matter if he can actually coach. I tend to agree. Luke Murray would also attract the casual also. I remember when Siena hired Fran, Pete Gillen was a name talked about which would have been a big name hire at the time. Obviously McCaffrey was the more practical hire even if it wasn’t as big a splash as Pete Gillen. I think you would be waiting a couple of more weeks for Huskie assistant Murray. I don't think that would be very wise.

I was agreeing with the previous poster that Gmac or Murray are flashy hires that attract the casual- they could be both flashy hires and successful though.

I don't think that would be very wise. A couple weeks now is a lot less important in the long run than getting the right guy. You can still reach out to the guy and see if he has any interest, I'm hoping they did that and he wasn't interested. Otherwise, I think that could be a mistake to rush to get a hire without bringing in all the best candidates. I'm absolutely in favor of Gerry as the next coach, just hoping they did their due diligence.

Scott you are not wrong, but IF they feel GMac is the best, then they will roll with that asap...........it's like drafting a player, the GM/coach has in their mind who they want the most, and it doesn't matter what anyone else thinks, so in terms of that, you have to trust those making the decisions and in this case the AD was not part of it.........

Unsuccessful franchises decide who to draft based on who the GM/coach has in their mind that they want the most. Successful franchises spend months analyzing every possible contender and then reach a consensus opinion among the scouting department, coaches, front office, and ownership to make their selection. I like Gerry as the next coach and at this point I hope it happens quickly but it wouldn't have hurt to bring a few other candidates in for some leverage in negotiations at the least. And I certainly would have at least reached out to Luke Murray to see if he had any interest along with a few others that we had on our wish list.

Sorry 07, I’m not THAT Frank. I'll jump in as the other Frank from 85 Yes we did consider going 501c3 but felt it was easier to get up and running quickly as a "not for profit" LLC. The tax deduction issue has been a bit of a challenge, but the IRS is scrutinizing collectives that are 501c3's and asking if they are truly operating like charitable organizations. Many are not and were just a front for big donors who wanted that tax break. We are evaluating options that could give us a tax exempt status through a 3rd party so that could present another donation option down the road.
