Id much rather have a buyout clause for another team that comes and tries to poach him away from us. $3 million sounds good. Don’t know what his contract details are but it seems like Siena opened their wallet big time. I think they gave him a package where it will be Power-5 or bust. They lowballed Christian and he ran off to the A10. Not here. If successful you’re never going to stop the Power-5 but you can lock out the rest if you put a buyout in and bump the coach up in salary after he does well. Also GMAC has been in NYS his whole life I’m sure SU is his dream job. If he wins big here and Red falters and he gets it I’ll tip my cap. If Red does well then he probably looks for his own power conference job eventually. My questions for the presser: What is his defensive philosophy? CUSE loved the 2-3 zone but they had the long athleticism able to use it effectively. Any chance a 2 for 1 with SU? They’d get NET credit for a road game at MVP with a large fan presence. How do you balance the portal and the NIL resources? How many frosh do you recruit? I’d rather just hear at the presser which recruits he has already signed to come aboard since he has already signed the dotted line 😇

I'm sure he will recruit to the system he is going to run.

Ans he has not been in NYS his entire life, Scranton is in Pennsylvania

He's from Scranton, went to Syracuse, and now is in Albany so we can narrow down his next job to cities with a Dunder Mifflin. Doesn't leave him too many options to jump.

I don't expect a Jamion Christian situation but if GMac is successful here it could be a Paul Hewitt situation where he leaves in 3 yrs. If Autry falters at Cuse, GMac will be next in line there. I'd be OK with it.

A Jamion Christian situation? Does he have a kid in some city we don't know about?

Congrats to the new coach Mac. I got to give credit to the new Siena Admin under President Seiferts leadership. They made the decision to change leadership of the program and made the investment to get their top candidate and set him up for success in two weeks.
Excited to see roster construction, summer workouts, and start of season. Expecting we will need to open second level seating at MVP shortly

I came across this post on a Syracuse message board. Anyone know how accurate it is? It would definitely explain the delay. Very promising if true and the admin got it done. “Behind the scenes he negotiated a great deal like a seasoned veteran. One of my friends is very very close to Coach Will Brown. Coach Brown knew that Gerry was Siena’s #1 choice, but also Gerry required “4 or 5 things” including a set amount specifically for NIL that even he wasn’t sure would get done. Apparently that is what has taken the last 3-4 days to finalize. Will Brown told my friend that he might become Siena’s coach almost out of default if they didn’t agree to all of Gerry’s needs/wants! Ultimately great for Gerry!!!“ syracusefan.com/threads/gmac-to-siena-official.180813/page-23#post-5028454

He has been trying to insert himself into this since the beginning (trying to get Carm fired). I think the guy is classless but wouldn’t be surprised to see him take the girls job.
