JMM28 Posted March 31, 2016 Share Posted March 31, 2016 Can Ford recruit a new PA announcer? Gus interviewed really well and had excellent references. He was rewarded with a lifetime contract. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slu72 Posted March 31, 2016 Share Posted March 31, 2016 He's our guy. So, it's time to get behind him all the way. He's got a major rebuild in front of him and deserves our total support. We're coming off a major train wreck. It's not Hanna happen overnight. It took the great one, Rickma, 3 years. Let's trust and pray Travis Ford can pull us out of the tailspin.

CBFan Posted March 31, 2016 Share Posted March 31, 2016 I wish I was excited but I have low expectations so at least I will not be disappointed if it is another season of no improvement. Welcome coach Ford I wish you well and I really hope you can bring the Billikens back to the dance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brianstl Posted March 31, 2016 Share Posted March 31, 2016 For me it is a e really uninspiring hire. Hopefully, he will learn from his failures at Okie St. I want to see him build a staff that addresses his weaknesses as a coach and show the willingness to use those staff members properly when it comes to game planning and roster construction. If that happens, this can be a really good hire because he will bring in talented players. JMM28 likes this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On that note for all of the people already down on ford just remember the last two mizzou hires were frank haith and a D2 coach. And that's at a power 5 state school. Let's give him a chance here and see how it goes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm trying to get there, but this just reeks of 8th choice. And then I wonder how the process got so incredibly screwed up that the best choice was Travis Ford. Im having trouble seeing how this winds up with anything but another search in 4-5 years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely not a "let's go buy season tickets" hire but it could be worse. Like you, I'm not sold.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
