  1. The agent for every coach out there isn't doing their job if they aren't calling their friends in the press to have their client connected to the Louisville job. You got to get your guy a raise at their current employer at a minimum.
  2. I got a feeling we will know by tonight one way or another. I think Louisville has someone as their coach before we wake up tomorrow if it is Schertz or someone else. Their fans might torch the campus if they don't.
  3. There are multiple programs that have shown no issue with hiring guys with NCAA violation history or character issues. None of them have wanted to touch Will Wade. It is probably a good thing if we follow their example.
  4. This is where too often really good coaches screw up. They get to a big time program and stop recruiting the best players for their system. They give in to boosters and fans who are obsessed with winning the recruiting rankings. It was downfall of Weber at Illinois. If you got a system that brought you to that point, you got to stick with that system and the type of players that make that system work. Sure you tweak it here and there as needed, but you got to be true to what brought you there.
  5. I'm was just happy to see they had a signed deal with Schertz in place instead of some kind of handshake agreement. I count that as progress and a win. Gives me some confidence that things are operating differently with this process.
  6. If we get a huge buyout in this that would allow SLU to shift donor money that would have gone to cover Ford’s buyout to NIL. McCollum can build a winner year one with that kind of payroll.
  7. I’m amazingly at peace with the whole situation and for some reason confident we will get a great coach.
  8. If things fall apart, I would like to thank MO St. for screwing up stuff with McCollum.
  9. Given who are sports fan trustees are, there really should be no excuse for SLU’s contract not to be rock solid with a big buyout. So Louisville better be ready to pay if they want to make this happen.
  10. Then again, what do I know. Stress I don't need today.
  11. Dude has an AOL email address. He is not to be taken seriously.
  12. I would be okay with ISU losing tonight so Schertz could get started on the portal, but I am having a harder and harder time buying the Schertz to Louisville talk. Starting to feel to me more like SLU is getting played by an agent to get his client a raise before he even starts the job. It will probably work. If Schertz thought there was any chance he was going to be Louisville's coach next season, there is no way in hell he says what he said to Bob Valvano.
  13. It actually makes it less attractive. A new coach is going to be judge against a standard that is pretty much impossible to attain again at that program.
  14. It might be easier for people to watch on YouTube, especially on mobile.
  15. MO State should be one of the top jobs in the MVC. They should be in contention for the title every year, but they just can't get their act together.
  16. He took himself out of the running.
  17. Louisville twitter is nuts. People that try to act like SLU fans were hard on Ford or too rough on Chris May really don't know how the rest of D1 fan bases react to stuff. It is Charmin soft at SLU even when someone is calling for someone else's job.
  18. I guess Alford told them no over the weekend. They really screwed the whole thing up.
  19. The Louisville AD really likes Schertz. If it was his call, he would have had a deal in place with Schertz before SLU had a chance. The boosters were a hard no on Schertz. They think he is too risky of a hire for a program with Louisville's expectations in Louisville's current shape. They missed out on the boosters top choice. So now we are seeing a war play out between their AD and their boosters in the media. A war the AD won't win because they need those boosters to pay the next coach and to continue to pay the two buyouts they are currently paying.
  20. Glad Robbie will have some extra cash in his pockets when he shows up to SLU.
