He’s talking about Jake Gossage who was an SID here. Left to go to Lindenwood
I was referring to a volleyball and a baseball coach who went to Lindenwood and a SID who went to Maryville and another volleyball coach who went to Ohio State. These are good people and they all say the same things about moral at SLU under Chris May. Why is that? Is it a conspiracy?

quit embarrassing yourself with your bridge burning. its just sad.
If I give you a free t-shirt will you eventually be on my team?

Coaches and staff have left SLU for local D2 programs and everyone of them say they are run better than SLU and much better moral and in one case night and day better facilities. Baseball and softball fields aren't even NAIA level! It's a joke. Rockhurst High School in KC has a nicer facility than a ten time national soccer championship program? I'm weird for sure.
If I'm weird what does that make all of you that think this is acceptable? I'm tired of things not changing.
I'm not the one on here searching for Youtube videos of bears scratching their head. Rise and Grind are you Chris May's assistant? You seem to have the same taste. And I'm weird?

No, I'm not off base, it looks cheap and masks the fact he can't even raise enough money for real stadium upgrades. Look at the baseball field...it isn't even a top ten high school field and it's a division 1 program.

So I noticed all the facility "upgrades" and it's like putting perfume on a pig. Herman Stadium looks like a ten year old asked grandma to order Fatheads for the bedroom to decorate. Looks cheap and tacky, like Chris May. It's pathetic! We are losing people to local Division 2 schools because they are run better and this is the best we can offer them on stadium "upgrades" I sure wish people would wise up. When SLUH has a nicer facility than the college it shares the same name with, well that's just sad. Whoever dressed that place up sure has a good sense of humor. Perhaps dummies need to be bought and spread around the arena seats to make it look like crowd fillers that way it will look as though people are actually coming to men's soccer games and Chris May can have more friends at the game that support him. Seriously folks am I the only one on here that's embarrassed for this man's desperate attempt to improve our facility?

wow, that makes it even worse. good luck.
Billikenfan05 that's Billiken Roy's way of avoiding what he knows to be the truth. I guess he feels if he attacks or calls someone names on here it makes their opinions wrong and his right. If you want to get Billiken Roy to agree with you give him a free t-shirt. He will become your biggest supporter.
Now for my two cents...Brent Gallagher is terrible and should be a greeter at Walmart. But, hey, even Walmart has criteria for hiring so it's not a shoe in that he could even get that job either. So here once again SLU settles for less than mediocre.

You sure seem to have a personal insight (and ax to grind) for someone that has never worked for Chris May. My apologies for my assumptive perspective.
I will say that now makes your views even less credible.
Well lets just say Billiken Roy... I never got any free t-shirts from Chris May. So you see its going to take his credibility that's going to win me over...not a free t-shirt.

well that's a lie. with the exception of my dislike for crews and an initial uneasiness for the hiring of ford, (which i am more than on board with now) chris may and I have pretty much agreed on everything. he has treated me with nothing but respect and has always shown at least a willingness to listen to me and and seemed to consider thoughts and concerns i presented. as i stated before, imo i say chris may is the best athletic director we have had in my billiken fandom (which goes back to 1978). what i think you continue to miss is the bigger picture of all things that affect our athletic department, the biggest being funding, which chris may has limited control over. unfortunately slu is not a huge public university that can feed at the trough of a state government. slu is self supported and there is a lot more that gets to bite out of the apple than the athletic department which sometimes results in difficult compromised decisions and outcomes.
i am sorry you didnt get to keep your job at slu. hopefully things will get better in your career going forward and your life will get better. blaming others for your own apparent missed responsibilities and outcomes will not result in very good outcomes for yourself going forward. good luck.
I have never worked for SLU but hey thanks for the compliment BillikenRoy...if I did work for SLU at least I was capable of moving on and actually have someone hire me unlike Chris May who has been turned down job after job...

Your right billikenfan05 I am ranting and raving but I wouldn't call it childish. Perhaps I am too passionate a Billiken fan. Let's just say for all intense purposes I am angry. Status quo is what makes me angry. Seeing women possibly sexually assaulted makes me angry, writing thank you cards to teams that defeat you makes me angry, terrible marketing and total incompetence makes me angry, holding onto an AD that has been trying to leave but can't seem to find anyone interested in him...but he remains at SLU makes me angry...May didn't do his homework and once everything comes out I think people will be floored and it will all be on Chris May. Chris May is a con artist. He has fooled a lot of unsuspecting fans on this board...who knows how far this really goes...I am confident the truth will come out and eventually Chris May will be exposed for the person he really is.
Now, I am new to this board as a poster, but I am not a new follower. BillikenRoy jumps on the "Troll" bandwagon? I remember a time your posts were very negative about May...what do you do?...go with the flow without a thought process of your own? Be true to this board and pick a side BillikenRoy ...either you like this guy or not.

I am no longer wondering. I know. Chris May should be fired! This latest news is totally on him. This is the second time this has happened and he didn't do his homework on Ford and the type of players he brings. Smart punched a fan! Marcus Smart such a great character. And now this. Chris May and his underlings need to be FIRED! Some say he's the best AD SLU ever had, he now needs to be the best former AD SLU ever had! What's it going to take people? At this moment with SLU under this kind of investigation I can't think of anyone who would want to jump on our bandwagon and become a Billiken. This is so totally embarrassing. May is embarrassing. HE NEEDS TO GO TODAY!!!!!!
And for those posters who want to scream "troll" that's your M-O. You don't like what someone says on here and you scream "Troll"! How about writing something that would convince us otherwise? Well that would be virtually impossible today.

The answer is absolutely yes. I deal with many of the coaches and they are very happy with Chris and his support--particularly Travis and Lisa. You have no idea what goes on and your idiotic posts like the one about the President's wife should be wiped off this board.
Give me a minute....(laughing so hard I have to get off the floor)...
All May talks about is gratitude like TV evangelist and people that work for him should be grateful to have their jobs and yet he isn't grateful for his job, but no one else will hire him. And if he's the best AD SLU has ever had then you are as big a sap as that person who sent money to Jim and Tammy Faye Baker.
-
Woman soccer is good now for sure. But why is the coach a St. Louisan at Xavier now? Perhaps because May and Oberle (the real AD) ran him out. Sorry people but these two are clowns.

"There are many other things he does which I will not detail but these two idiots have no idea what they are talking about"...like the fact that I heard our Field Hockey writes thank you cards to teams that beat them and Chris May and his staff think it's great....seriously...come on! Who does this? This is totally unacceptable and is an example of how to NOT run a Dev. 1 program. This is just embarrassing!
These two trolls are idiots of the first order. Chris May does a great job under difficult circumstances--a situation which faces every private university--involving limited resources and competing demands. He works closely with the Board of Trustees and many donors to raise money for the Athletic programs. He hired some great coaches, including Travis, Lisa and the women's soccer coach among others. He works long hours and interacts very well with the University leadership. There are many other things he does which I will not detail but these two idiots have no idea what they are talking about.
It's not trolling if its true. Do the leg work. I did.
May couldn't raise money to build locker rooms so the university had to step up and pay.
Can anyone here name just three successful things May has done besides Travis Ford?
I am tired of settling for mediocre and even remotely considering that May is mediocre is a stretching compliment for May.
I know we are a private school with problems and limitations however there are "private" universities that have hired people who can generate money and run a very profitable athletic program. Meet us half way SLU....hire such a person and the contributions will come. Keep May and well....

I was just wondering what others take is on Chris May? I really don't see him as a successful and positive model for SLU. I mean he hasn't built anything facility wise, couldn't get SLU into the Big East, the volleyball team is horrible, and it seems like raising money is a problem because people don't seem to like him or trust him. I know some former employees that don't like him and they left SLU on a positive note so their comments are not negative because they were forced to leave. Some students have also expressed their dislike for him as well as his girlfriend. Anyone else get negative comments about Chris May?

Is Con-man Chris related to the AD in Tennessee? Can you imagine if we had a football team?....This is exactly how Con-man Chris would have handled it. Oh well, no worries he can't even hire a soccer coach from Fenton Soccer Park.
