Thanks I forgot about DC

I believe you but could you list the 4 - I got Chicago, Philly, and New York.

This happens when you drag the search out. Coaches don't like waiting and then having to say I didn't get the job so they withdraw and then it was their decision not the school

So he is going home - how did that work out for Romar?

If true then great - go ISU

Anything is possible but as they say you hope for the best and prepare for the worst. Let me ask you this - if it is a done deal as some think then why is his name still popping up? Yes I guess you could say they don't know anything but what if they do?

... and he would be dumb not to listen.

You got to pay attention to the tea leaves

These message board posts are canaries in the coal mine. Denial is a terrible thing. I have no problem with Schertz being our guy but I worry where this could be heading.

Obviously, you are not paying attention to the fast-changing landscape. Until it is in writing and signed it at over and we are hardly at a place where it is over. Schertz is not going to turn down a P5 job offer he likes just to come here. I am not against hiring Schertz but I fear we are chasing a guy who has other better options.

Thanks for posting this - bottom line is we need to move on to our next choice this week before more of this happens which it will. If this post is true then it is possible that SLU knows that Schertz is looking elsewhere and could be finalizing things with another coach. Of course, who knows for sure but the tea leaves are pointing away from Schertz coming here especially if he keeps winning. I hired a lot of people in my time and the biggest mistake you can make is zeroing in on one person and letting them string you on. You have to be open to other good candidates. Remember what RM would say about recruiting - I just want the kid to tell me early that he is not or is interested in us so I don't waste a lot of time chasing a kid who never really was coming to you and you then missed out on other good players. Being strung on was the worse thing that could happen in recruiting and this is where we are right now.

Fair point

Interesting but of course that could change. I still think there is a good chance that if SLU announces on Tuesday - Thursday that it won't be Schertz unless he loses the next round. If he wins then it won't be unless they are only pulling our chains which I guess is still a possibility.

If Schertz is locked up yes but unless he is, you can't keep just waiting on the come. May did not go AWOL he always wanted Ford. He was excited about how Ford was willing to coach for free basically for the first couple of years. I watched the ISU/MN game today and ISU looked pretty good, but I am not the only one who saw today's performance. By the way we aren't TT in a Power 5 conference.

Why do some think that Schertz is the only good candidate there is. I don't think you can put all your eggs in one basket. The longer we drag this out or stay the course in your words the bigger the chance of us being left out.

Nothing is a secret anymore if you tell a group. I know SLU can be media dumb but like I said - the big money people are driving this bus.

All the more reason for making the announcement by Thursday. The last thing they want is nobody there.

Well I know some think badly of him and I am not an apologist for him by any stretch of the imagination, but I doubt the big money people are so tone deaf. Chaiftz made his money communicating with people. I am not sure May is being allowed to even go to the bathroom without raising his hand when it comes to this issue.

Panic is a strong word - perhaps a bit anxious and that is natural. I do believe that if they have someone else in mind they can not risk losing that guy waiting around for Schertz to make up his mind or to lose. I guess it could be Schertz if he loses today but if not I think it is someone else. Just hope no a retread like Ford

They must if Tues - Thursday this week is the announcement media time. You can't say this and just hope ISU loses. My money is now on somebody else other than Schertz at this point. The reason for the delay is the finalizing of the contract. The only way it is Schertz is if SLU said make up your mind today or else we move on and he says OK I am coming and ditching my team - do you really think that will happen?

This sounds fishy - weak reason for him to resign. Something else is behind this - either he was unhappy or the school has an issue with him that might not even be AD related.

Well if true then Schertz has abandoned his not until the season is over - if ISU loses. If they win then we know it is not Schertz. At this point I am not sure how I feel about it. Hopefully SLU did it right.

Well he is still their coach. Now if this means more then I hope SLU is not sitting on their hands

I am sure you can just walk up. My wife and would have loved to be able to go but we have a previous engagement that we are hosting. Bring us a winner!

If Rule 2 comes into to play then I fear we will fighting over the scraps.
