cheeseman Posted March 22, 2016 Share Posted March 22, 2016 Is there a consensus that Bryce Drew is more likely than Randy Bennett? Not in my mind - I figured from the Wiz's post that it was between them given that they are playing tonight and one will be free. Bennett was an AC here and has recruited the area before - some time ago - but still did. Lets watch who wins and if no announcement comes then it it is the other one if Wiz is right.

SLU_Billikens08 Posted March 22, 2016 Share Posted March 22, 2016 Does it concern anyone that we haven't heard more about our coaching search? I figured we atleast would've had a good idea who the coach might be by now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree, I would have liked Underwood but he is going to OSU. I think if it was Coach Stalling, Dooley or Jacobson it would have already been done.

All they're doing now is wasting recruiting time. If our coach is Dooley or Terry or even Stallings and they don't announce until next weekend, you would have to seriously question the thought process. With this roster, every day you lose recruiting is a big deal. And March 30th - April 7th is a dead period for recruiting. We need our new coach on campus watching film and working with the guys. We need him out recruiting especially with the local guys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brianstl Posted March 22, 2016 Share Posted March 22, 2016 If our guy is still coaching they better be 100% sure they have a done deal. I don't want to see us get Paintered and then end up getting Haithed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slufan13 Posted March 22, 2016 Share Posted March 22, 2016 As long as Valpo is still alive and we still haven't named a new coach, I'm going to grow more optimistic that it's Drew. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brianstl Posted March 22, 2016 Share Posted March 22, 2016 If the Louisville job opens, people are saying Chris Mack will get the job. I think there is still a chance that G Tech could fire Gregory and Bobinski would throw everything he has at Mack to try to land him.

Clock_Tower Posted March 22, 2016 Share Posted March 22, 2016 Two other names of former SLU assistants are Whitesell and Porter Moser. I hope neither are being considered. I am very hopeful for Drew or Stallings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SLU_Billikens08 Posted March 22, 2016 Share Posted March 22, 2016 If better jobs come open like Xavier or Dayton who's to say Drew doesn't go to one of those schools? I think we will end up disappointed with who the new coach is. This just seems like its taking to long to get done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we will end up disappointed with who the new coach is. This just seems like its taking to long to get done. If the future coach is someone that still has a team playing in a tournament, what do you expect SLU to do? I'm sure at this point SLU has a handshake gentleman's agreement Be patient. I'd rather have a coach that has his team in ANY tourney right now and sacrifice a couple weeks of recruiting, versus hiring a coach that may be less desirable so we can avoid losing out to the likes of Dayton or Xavier. SLU has their eyes on a target and I feel it is already wrapped up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clock_Tower Posted March 22, 2016 Share Posted March 22, 2016 Any head coach who is still play is also still in contact with recruits. Tense time but we should all relax. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dwayne's_World Posted March 22, 2016 Share Posted March 22, 2016 It's pretty obvious that we already have an agreement with someone. There is absolutely no way we fire Crews as fast as we did without having already formed a plan for a new coaching hire. If we fired Crews and then said "Alight let's go find a coach at the Final Four now," then the whole AD needs to be canned. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope so too. Different situation and different AD, but they hadn't even contacted Majerus (nor did they have his phone number) when they fired Brad.

If we fired Crews and then said "Alight let's go find a coach at the Final Four now," then the whole AD needs to be canned. Agreed. Also, if Chaifetz is involved as has been reported, then we need to remember we have a very successful and smart business man assisting the AD. He didn't become successful through luck. I'd be shocked if this whole process wasn't very well defined and thought out. Now, until a coach is signed there's always a chance for disruption in the market (e.g. Dayton position opens up), but at this point, I'm trusting the process in place. Welcome to SLU, Coach Drew.

glanderm Posted March 22, 2016 Share Posted March 22, 2016 I'n sure its already been mentioned in this 83 page thread, but what's the motivation for Drew to leave his alma mater and a coaching job with a family legacy? Not trying to be snarky - legitimately asking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
