LOUDONVILLE, NY – Gerry McNamara has informed Siena University that he has accepted the head coaching position at his alma mater, Syracuse University.
We are extremely grateful for all of the contributions that Gerry made to Siena University and our men's basketball program the past two seasons. Gerry led our Saints with character, grace, and integrity, and built a basketball program that our community was proud of, while reinvigorating our fan base.
While we would have loved for him to stay at Siena and build upon the success he created, we recognize the unique opportunity for Gerry to return to his alma mater, where he won a National Championship. Gerry, Katie, and their entire family will forever be a part of our Siena family, and we wish them all the best in the next chapter of their journey.
Siena and its leadership are committed to building upon the momentum Gerry created. An immediate, nationwide search is underway for the next leader of the Siena Men's Basketball program.
