Welcome To Billiken Nation, Travis Ford!

What a smart guy. Still rings true. Just didn't know how deadly it was then... -
Strange that the dude who was picked off the scrap heap after getting booted at his second commitment of portal season isn’t doing well.

Drew Valentine is one of the biggest see you next Tuesdays in college basketball. A jerkoff of the highest order. Harriman should have taken out his frustrations on his face.

Pestello should be in front of the firing squad too. Putting the university on the hook for a buyout that massive is negligence. An auto-renewing contract in a sport that has an average coach lifespan of 5 years is negligence. There was no one on earth hiring Travis Ford for more than 1.5 a year. May/Pestello/BOT negotiated against themselves with this. A 8 figure buyout is...criminal. For reference sake, if Michigan State fires Tom Izzo, they owe him $7,000,000. Tony Bennett at UVA would get $12,000,000. -

Depending on the level of coach, AD hire before coach might be better. If you're going after an in-demand mid/low major head coach, they'll want to be hired by the guy they're working for. Rick Majerus didn't give a damn because he was running his own show anyways. Not sure there is a self assured guy like that out there this time. -

I assume its a self preservation move by May. Chris May should be fired before Ford. -
Tweet from SLU shows that the team chartered to Loyola. Why?! Save the money. Bus them.

You weren't wrong in the Soderberg days. West Pine was atrocious. Facilities still matter in that case. -

The fit with OU was always a strange one. Wouldn’t surprise me to see him look at DePaul hard. -

This makes zero sense. How does NIL or students transferring have anything to do with these sports? Their administration decided to blast the scapegoat du jour for their decision to drop programs that generate $0 revenue. Thats all. Why can’t they just say that? -
Remember the good times to get you through...

Yeah there are a couple parts but there isn't a "top 3 guy on an at large team" guy on this roster. That includes Jimerson. I think if a guy really wants to be at SLU/graduate from SLU and wants to buy into the new coach's culture, he's worth keeping. Otherwise it is probably tear it all down and rebuild completely next year. -
12 years ago. What we used to have... https://www.sports-reference.com/cbb/boxscores/2012-01-25-xavier.html A win over a Sweet 16 Xavier team at Cintas. 10 steals. 18 assists on 22 field goals.

20 point losses are the new 20 win seasons!

2 of those 3 things apply to Chris May... -
I assume DePaul will make a swing at some big names and miss. Then they'll take a swing and miss on the broadcast/out of work dudes. Then they'll come back down to someone like Bryce Drew, Schertz, Wardle, or Becker. Schertz makes peanuts at Indiana State so he's probably the most realistic of those dudes. Becker also makes peanuts but he is an east coast lifer. If Schertz finishes the year strong, he'll have better offers than DePaul though. I think any coach needs to extract a 12 million over 6 year deal that has some hellacious buyout number in years 1-3. It could be career suicide to go there. Or it could be a king making type job. But thats a 90/10 split for sure.

Note: Billiken Coaches Show Debut 1/8/24
JMM28 replied to TheBand's topic in Billikens.com Main Board
So is the training staff not doing their job as well if these guys are just absolutely blindsided by the fact that they need to be in shape? Or is the coaching staff not preparing guys the right way? Or both? Tried something 10 or 11 times and VCU shut it down every time? Limited depth of coaching there. -

here I show up to Humps for a discussion on defensive fundamentals and this guy isn’t even going to be there! -
The word on the street is that they made the fire early in order to line up a better NIL program to recruit a better coach. It’s an interesting approach. Can’t raise funds with a lame duck bad coach.

First man overboard. Plenty to come. Soon there will be other coaches picking over the wreckage of this program like its an estate sale. Thanks Chris and Fred!
