How Jerry McNamara became the head coach of Syracuse Basketball.

You are Lockdown Syracuse, your daily podcast on the Syracuse Orange.

Part of the Lockdown Podcast Network, your team every day.

Hi, everyone. Jackson Hulser locked on Syracuse on today's show Syracuse Basketball

is set to play Providence in a non-conference basketball showdown next season.

We will talk about that later on in the show.

Plus the pros and cons of Syracuse hiring Jerry McNamara as its next tech coach.

But we are going to lead the show today talking about some insight

how it all came to be Jerry McNamara becoming the head coach of Syracuse Basketball.

There has obviously been a lot of reporting out there since Jerry McNamara and Syracuse

when it came out that the orange are finalizing a deal with GMAC to become the next tech coach.

Now at the time of this recording it should be noted that it's not technically official.

I haven't seen Syracuse Basketball officially announced it, but given that every insider out there

is saying that this is happening. I think it's fair to assume that Jerry McNamara is going to be

the head coach of Syracuse Basketball. And CBS Sports is Matt Norlander. He provided some great insight

regarding what exactly happened behind the scenes with Syracuse and the head coach search.

And ultimately how Jerry McNamara got the job. And that's what we're going to dive into on today's show.

Let's start off with something that I think we're all curious about. Who is the runner up

for the job? It appears that the runner up, the second most likely person to become the Syracuse

Basketball head coach was St. Louis's Josh Shirts. Now according to Matt Norlander, the orange were

looking for many different head coaches. They were surveying the landscape, whether it was in

family or outside the family, Josh Shirts being outside the family, of course. But Josh Shirts

was the only one in that article mentioned by name that the orange were really going after. In fact,

even though it was reported that St. Louis and Josh Shirts had an extension in place,

the orange were still pursuing him. Most recently, after St. Louis beat Georgia in their first round

NCAA tournament matchup on Thursday. But nevertheless, Josh Shirts did not get the job. But this

was another very interesting part from Matt Norlander. I'm going to show it on the screen in just a

moment regarding the debate amongst the powerful Syracuse people about whether or not the orange

should stay in the family or they should go outside the family for their next tech coach. I'm

going to put it up right now on the screen. If you're watching on YouTube, don't worry. I'll read

it for you all if you're just listening on whatever platform you decide to use. McNamara winning

outcomes after weeks of debate amongst big money players at Syracuse who were split over whether

or not to break from the Syracuse family slash Jim Bayheim coaching treat. McNamara is of course

a doored accuse, but some influential supporters of the program fell adamant that Syracuse needed to

go in a new direction. Others favor keeping it in the family for at least one more try. McNamara

was the obvious choice in that record. That I do agree with that. If you were going to keep it within

the family, there was really only one credible option out there. And that was Jerry McNamara. He

is by far in a way, a better candidate than Mike Hopkins or Jason Hard or you want to try

Carmelo Anthony or Eric Devendorf. Give me Jerry McNamara over any of the other possible

in family hires for Syracuse basketball. My thoughts on this. Look, obviously Jerry McNamara became

the head coach of Syracuse basketball. So the group of people that wanted to stay within the family

as the next head coach, one out. They won out. And naturally, there's going to be disagreement.

I think that is healthy to have disagreement when you're making a decision of this magnitude. You

don't want literally every single person involved in the decision making to be in lockstep with

who it should be. Because if you all agree on one person before you obviously get to the ending,

then there's no discussion about any other possible candidate. That's classic group think

right there. And you don't want that when you're making this type of decision. So it's good that

they were having these discussions. And look, we spent a week, actually more than a week. We spent

weeks, maybe even months, debating on this show whether or not it was a good idea or a bad idea for

Syracuse to stay within the family or to go outside the family for their next head coach. And

where I settled on was if you have two equal candidates, you stay within the family,

because there are obvious upsides to staying within the family. But you don't want to sacrifice

hiring a better coach just because you wanted to stay within the family. Now for what it's worth,

a Josh shirts, apparently he was the runner up right according to Matt Norland or he was

certainly in the running for the job. He's proven more than Jerry McNamara as a head coach. And

that is no disrespect to Jerry. And that's not me and poo pooing the move to go get Jerry McNamara

as the next head coach. But Josh shirts is proven more. However, Jerry Stock, it obviously improved over

the last week or so, leading Sienna to the tournament, taking Duke to the wire in the first round of

the tournament. And I just wanted to work just like you all. So I'm not going to cry over it.

That ultimately Josh shirts decided to stay with St. Louis and that they had to go with Jerry McNamara

instead or I really shouldn't say had to go with Jerry McNamara. I should say that they went with

Jerry McNamara as the next head coach. Period. I think we can all just move on from it and hope

that it works for Syracuse with Jerry McNamara. Now resources. Obviously this is very, very important

to giving Jerry McNamara the best chance of succeeding. They need significant resources. This is a

new era. This is NIL. This is transfer portal. This is revenue sharing. You need money to win.

Period. Now ESPN's Pete Dammell and Jeff Borsella reported, we talked about this yesterday

and the reaction show that Syracuse is reportedly committed to spending in the top third of the ACC

in NIL. Now we have a projected number. According to Matt Norlander of CBS Sports, quote,

Syracuse is hopeful it can raise more than $9 million total in NIL budgeting for the 2026-27

season, with at least 4.5 million of that coming from revenue sharing. For context, it was reported

out there that last year Syracuse spent roughly $8 million on their roster, which, according to John

Wildhack, you kind of have to put all the pieces together, was upper half of the ACC. Now there is

a difference between being top third and upper half. Obviously, they're within the same half. They're

both upper half, but top third means top six. Upper half means top nine. That's a three-spot difference

and who knows how big of a gap that is, but it could be a fairly significant gap, depending on how

the other teams in the ACC decide to spend. My thoughts on this, maybe it's because I'm someone who

likes nice, round, clean numbers. I hear 9 million. I'm like, oh, that's cool, but why can't you go

to 10 million? Why can't you spend 10 million dollars? So maybe it's just me and being a victim of,

hey, I like, I like nice, round, clean numbers, right? Maybe some of you are like that as well,

but here's the reality. I am hoping that Syracuse can bump up from $9 million. At least get to 10

million dollars in spending for next year's roster. And obviously, I know that just because you

spend a ton of money doesn't mean that you're going to win more games. You do need to spend in

order to win, but there does come a point in time where it may not really matter. I mean, I'm a

New York Metz fan after all, and they spend a bunch of money every single year to mixed results

in MLB. That's MLB. So let's use a college basketball example. Kentucky reportedly spent

upwards of $20 million on this year's team. Where did that get them? A seven seat in the NCAA

tournament and knocked out in blowout fashion, Iowa State in the round of 32. And that was

Kentucky spending $20 million, which was by far and away, I think most in all of college basketball.

There's a reason why Mark Pope had coach there is now on the hot seat because of all the money

and all the resources they put in there. And they still didn't get very far. Round of 32 there

is just not simply good enough. Point is though, you do need significant resources if you want to

compete on a national level. And think about what an extra million can do going from $9 million

to $10 million. You can do it for three things. It can be used as extra money to pay for a big star

in the transport. Or maybe there's someone you want in the portal really badly. And the going

rate for him is two and a half million dollars. But you only have two million dollars to spend.

Now imagine if you get an extra million, well, guess what? Now you can meet the number. Perhaps

even exceed the number if need be. It can be used to get another starter in the portal. A million

dollars for a starter. I think you can manage. It could also be used to get multiple high quality

role players to fill out the rest of your team to actually have a bench going into the season.

Bottom line, if you are able to raise an extra million, go from $9 million to $10 million,

I think it would put Syracuse in much better position to build a better team. So that Jerry

McNamara has all the resources in the world to be able to succeed right away for Syracuse.

The question is now, how can they do that? How can they raise money? There's a couple of ways

they can decide to bump up how much they want to spend in the rev share portion. The article said

from Matt Norlander, it was $4.5 million. Maybe they decide to go more than $4.5 million. And for what

it's worth guys, there is a cap for how much you can spend for an entire athletic program.

It's over $20 million. So you're allocating $4.5 million to basketball. You could decide to allocate

more, but that would require also taking away less from other programs. That's their decision

at the end of the day though. They could try to raise more money in NIL, or they could do a little

bit of both. Maybe they do take a little bit more rev share, but also are able to increase the NIL

donations and all that stuff as well. So overall, a top third in the ACC sounds pretty good.

$9 million sounds pretty good, but I don't know about you, but here's where I'm at. I feel like

Syracuse can do better than that. I feel like you can do more, especially because you need this

higher to work. This is Jerry McNamara, where you're talking about here. You hired him for a reason

to be the next side coach of Syracuse basketball. You need to give him all the resources and all

the support in the world so that he has the best opportunity to succeed for Syracuse basketball

in the near term and in the long term. All right. Now, coming up here, unlocked on Syracuse.

next tech coach of Syracuse basketball. Yesterday, I posted on social media both on Twitter

at L.O. underscore Syracuse and on Facebook locked on Syracuse. You can find myself there

pros and cons of Jerry McNamara becoming the next tech coach of Syracuse basketball. I'm

going to show it on the screen right now. I'm going to read it to you and then we will go point

by point. Okay. So the pros of hiring Jerry McNamara. It's got prior division one head coach

experience. He lets the end of the tournament this season Gavin Doddy is certainly someone who

we really like who they can get in the portal loyalty to Syracuse. The big funders very likely

wanted him. There are cons as well. He's got solid but limited head coach experience and he is

very difficult to replace if it doesn't work. AKA if it doesn't work, it is very hard to fire

Jerry McNamara. We will get to that in just a moment here on this show. But let's start with the

pros. Okay. Pro number one is that prior head coach experience. I think most of us, including

myself, wanted the next head coach of Syracuse to have prior head coach experience. As intriguing

as some of the assistant head coaches that are out there like a Luke Murray at Yukon or same

with Kamani Yungus also at Yukon, they just don't have head coaching experience. They don't have it

and they can be hot shot assistants and hey, assistants can work. Jay Lucas was pretty good in

year one with Miami coming over from Duke. But being a head coach is entirely different than being

an assistant head coach. And for what it's worth most of these head coach candidates,

they have prior assistant coach experience working under some of the best head coaches in the business.

Okay. So yeah, I mean, Kamani Yung and Luke Murray, they work under Dan Hurley and they're successful at

Yukon. That's great. But there are so many coaches who fit that profile as well at the end of the day.

I wanted someone that had prior head coach experience and many of you felt that way as well. He was

at Ciena for a couple of seasons. More on that in just a moment. I don't care that Ciena is a

mid-major program because as I've already been saying, there are plenty of coaches out there

that started as head coaches at mid-major programs. It is a very, very popular path for high-major

coaches to take. You can look in the ACC, for example, Pat Kelsey was at the College of Charleston

before getting the Louisville job. That's just one for you all ladies and gentlemen.

Number two, he led Ciena to the tournament. Obviously, this matters because

what is implied with prior head coach experience is prior good head coaching experience. In this past

season, he led Ciena to the tournament for the first time since 2010. That was actually with

Fran McCaffery. It was also Ciena's first 20-win season since 2020. And their best conference win

percentage since 2021. That is quality head coach experience.

Number three, Gavin Dodie. Dodie is a six-foot-five sophomore guard at Ciena. Last year, he

averaged 18 points per game and seven rebounds per game. His efficiency numbers from his freshman

year to his sophomore year went up across the board. He stored 21 points in Ciena's loss in the

NCAA tournament against Duke. Get used to hearing his name. His name is Gavin Dodie, assuming he

enters the transfer portal. And I think that it's a fair bet that he enters the portal. I don't have

insight on it, but connect the dots here. He was successful at Ciena. It's Ciena. He can get more

money at Syracuse. The enters the portal, I think Syracuse is likely the favorite to be able to land

him and he would be a very good addition to the roster for next season and assuming all goes

according to plan. He would also be on the roster for a senior season because he's got multiple years

of eligibility. So that is a plus of hiring Jerry McNamara. It puts you in great shape to land

Gavin Dodie in the transfer portal. Next, he's got the loyalty to Syracuse. This is Jerry McNamara

here. Best case scenario, Jerry McNamara could become what Jim Bayheim was for Syracuse for four

decades. He is currently 42 years of age that is still relatively young, maybe not four decades,

perhaps it's three decades of all goes according to plan for Jerry McNamara. If all goes well for

Jerry McNamara, it is inevitable that he will come across other opportunities while he is the head

coach of Syracuse basketball after all. When Jim Bayheim was here for all these years,

there are many different points during his head coaching tenure that he could have left Syracuse

for another opportunity if he decided to leave Syracuse if he wanted to leave Syracuse. But he never

did want to leave Syracuse because he was loyal to the orange. He was a player there, he was an

assistant there, became the head coach, loves the program, never ever left. And so there is a

big boom factor when you hire Jerry McNamara. If it goes according to plan, this could be our long

term head coach. This could be our coach when a big job opens up, maybe Bill self decides to return

to Kansas for another season. But in two years, maybe Bill self says I'm done with Kansas, I'm done

coaching. All of a sudden their job is open, Jerry McNamara is killing it at Syracuse, that's too bad

that Jerry McNamara is an alum and doesn't want to leave the school. That's the upside of this,

whereas if you went with someone else with no connection to the program, which by the way,

I would have been fine with in the event that that coach does well and a better opportunity comes

along, they could leave, they could leave or they would have a much more likely chance of leaving.

It's not to say it's impossible that Jerry McNamara would ever leave Syracuse, but it's more likely

than not, he would never leave assuming all goes according to plan. And finally, the big funders

very likely wanted him, I can't confirm this. This is literally just a theory that I have, but I think

Jerry McNamara out of all the potential candidates that are out there, he very likely had the most

financial backing. And I'm not sitting here saying that it means people would have withheld donations

or they would have made different decisions, otherwise if Jerry McNamara ultimately wasn't the

head coach, but here's the reality. If Jerry McNamara had the most financial backing, then they had

no choice but to hire him. You had to hire him. If, for example, again, hypothetical, if Jerry McNamara

can get you nine million, but you want Josh shirts, but you can only get seven and a half million

for Josh shirts, you got to go GMAC, you got to get the money because you need the money in order to

build the roster. So it's very likely that the big funders at the end of the day, they want to Jerry

McNamara, it's not to say that I necessarily trust the big funders, it's more like, look, if that's who

they were going to pay for, that's who they're going to pay for, if that's who they're going to give

the resources to, that's who they're going to give the resources to. So that's a big pro in hiring

Jerry McNamara versus anyone else. The cons are also there. We can go over them briefly. He's got

solid but limited head coach experience. Jerry McNamara was the head coach at Siena for two seasons.

If we compare him to other potential candidates that were out there for Syracuse to get,

he's actually got the least amount of experience aside from the coaches who have no prior

head coach experience. Josh shirts, five years of head coach experience. Brian Hodgson,

who went to Providence, we'll talk about him later, three years, Tony Stin, three years,

Shaheen Holloway, eight years, Jared Calhoun, nine years. This isn't eight towards Jerry McNamara.

I am simply pointing out the facts that when you compare him to some of the other candidates

that were out there, GMAC is not as experienced as some of those other coaches.

And finally, it's very difficult to replace Jerry McNamara. And I should have worded it better

in that post. What I meant is, because I really didn't want to say it, is that it is harder to

fire Jerry McNamara. This is of course assuming the worst case scenario, which like we're all Syracuse

fans here. If you're not a Syracuse fan, hi, welcome. This is a Syracuse page where Syracuse

fans here. I'm a Syracuse alum here. I want this higher to work. You want this higher to work.

We all want this higher to work. We don't want to envision a scenario where it does not work.

Okay. But think about how hard it was for Syracuse to let go of Adrian Entry.

I want you to multiply it by 50, at least with Jerry McNamara. Imagine Syracuse having to fire

Jerry McNamara. Imagine that. We don't want to imagine that. But it's the worst case scenario.

My point in all this is that when these programs, because there are examples I'm about to give you,

when these programs hire former legends, they tend to get a much bigger leash than they normally

would. Here are some examples. Georgetown with Patrick Ewing. He got six years as the head coach

there. He had one miracle tournament appearance in 2021 by winning the biggest as an under 500

team at the time, and they got bounced right away in the NCAA tournament.

If his name was Patrick Smith, that guy's gone in three years maximum. They would have fired him

very quickly, but it's Patrick Ewing. He's a legend. He didn't want it. NC State Sydney low.

He got five years. No tournament appearances. A 524 win percentage. You're telling me if his name

was Sydney Bryant, that he would have gotten five years. And NC State, I think not. How about

North Carolina with Hubert Davis? He's been there for five years. He is underachieved for the most

part as the head coach at North Carolina. And I can speak for pretty much any ACC team when I tell

you, I hope they keep him. I hope North Carolina keeps Hubert Davis. Yeah, keep going with him. He

is underachieved for five years. You think that by year six, he's finally going to figure it out.

North Carolina is still at the time of this recording, trying to decide whether or not they should

keep Hubert Davis or they should let go of Hubert Davis. And how should they go about it?

If this was anyone else that was not in the North Carolina family, he would be fired immediately.

They probably don't let him on the plane after the loss to VCU.

But it's Hubert Davis. He was really good at North Carolina when he played there, especially as

final season over there. And they're giving him five, they've already given him five years,

and he is underachieved for the most part.

Jawan Howard at Michigan, he got five years. One good season. That was in 2021. It took an eight

and 24 season and a year five for Michigan to finally come to their senses that Jawan Howard

is not a good coach. And that you should probably go in a different direction, which they did.

They went with Dusty May from FAU and it's worked out quite well. But they wasted five years

trying to prove themselves right about Jawan Howard. So when you look at the totality of everything,

overall, there are more pros than cons in my opinion with Jerry McNamara. I am glad the financial

support is there, although they could use more certainly. However, because he is a legend,

Jerry McNamara is a Syracuse legend. There is a big upside with him. He could be the head coach

for three plus decades and be amazing for Syracuse. But there's also a big risk to it.

It's very, very hard to fire Jerry McNamara. They may give him a longer leash than any of the other

potential candidates that were out there just because he is Jerry McNamara. Comment in your thoughts

Jackson holes are locked on Syracuse. There was a story that was reported by CBS Sports's John

Rothstein on Monday morning March 23rd that I find absolutely hilarious and I think if you saw

the news as well, you found it funny as well. John Rothstein reported that Syracuse will play

Providence in a neutral site game next season. The game will take place at TD Garden in Boston. No

date has been announced nor has this necessarily been confirmed by Syracuse or Providence. So

it's not official, but it is coming from John Rothstein and John Rothstein is one of the best

insiders in the business. So I'll take his word for it. I think that this is absolutely hilarious.

This is an epic troll in my opinion and I don't know about you, but I am also very excited for

potential Syracuse and Providence matchup. If you're not up to speed as to why this is amusing or

why this sounds like a troll job, let me bring you up to speed on it. Okay, most of you probably are.

Okay, but if you're not here, it is Providence hired Brian Hodgson to be its next tech coach.

It was the same day as Syracuse hiring Jerry McNamara was announced a little bit before that.

Hodgson was rumored to be one of the candidates for the Syracuse job. However,

there were multiple reports out there that suggested that Hodgson turned Syracuse down and Syracuse

since said we didn't offer the job and nobody turned us down. So it's a I don't know. I honestly

I have moved on from it. Hodgson's camp saying one thing Syracuse is saying another thing.

Who should we believe? The answer is probably a little bit in the middle as to what really happened,

but it doesn't matter. At the end of the day, Syracuse says Jerry McNamara has the next tech coach.

Brian Hodgson is over at Providence. And we have moved on from it. I have moved on from it.

You've moved on from it. Brian Hodgson is not the Syracuse basketball head coach.

Jerry McNamara is our head coach. That doesn't mean we have for Don.

We haven't forgotten. And I just hope that in this matchup Syracuse against Providence,

that Jerry McNamara in the orange, they can stick it to Brian Hodgson. They can stick it to him.

I am hoping that they can stick it to his agent because you know it was his agent that was leaking

that Brian Hodgson turned down Syracuse. Who else would it possibly be? So I hope they can stick it

to him or her or the agency, whatever the case may be. And finally, I really hope they can just

stick it to Jeff Goodman. I really, really do. Yeah. I hope they do.

Just don't lose Syracuse. Just don't lose in this matchup. Folks, what are your thoughts on it?
