Westy03 Posted April 18, 2007 Share Posted April 18, 2007 Im assuming that Biondi is going to setup some sort of committee to try and find a coach because I have no faith that he has someone lined up or even someone in mind. This brings up a few questions. Who makes up the committee? Will Cheryl Levick be involved? She had no say in the firing of Brad How long will this process take? Will they go on the cheap end once again? Thoughts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glanderm Posted April 18, 2007 Share Posted April 18, 2007 Cusamano mentioned a 4 person committee (if he mentioned who's on it, I didn't catch it). He also said SLU has retained a search firm out of Dallas that has worked with 50 different universities in their coaching searches. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Westy03 Posted April 18, 2007 Author Share Posted April 18, 2007 Thanks for the info. Sounds like its going to take later rather sooner... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glanderm Posted April 18, 2007 Share Posted April 18, 2007 Agreed. It sounds like they're initiating a full-fledged search. Apparently this is the same search firm Mizzou used in retaining Anderson. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moytoy12 Posted April 18, 2007 Share Posted April 18, 2007 Ugh...committees and headhunters...i'm losing confidence that there was any plan to this. It was a long shot that there might have been a plan, i know. I'm still in wait and see mode. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Westy03 Posted April 18, 2007 Author Share Posted April 18, 2007 They had no plan, that is what just kills me. Im happy they let Brad go but have a freakin plan for god sakes. Doing a search in mid April just shows how out of the loop this program actually is. If I were Cheryl Levick I would leave in heartbeat.

glanderm Posted April 18, 2007 Share Posted April 18, 2007 I just don't understand the continued radio silence from the Administration and AD. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Westy03 Posted April 18, 2007 Author Share Posted April 18, 2007 The reason for the silence is that they have no plan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MB73 Posted April 18, 2007 Share Posted April 18, 2007 Over / under Levick: Gone by 11-1-07 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Westy03 Posted April 18, 2007 Author Share Posted April 18, 2007 I would say over. I think she leaves after the 07-08 season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moytoy12 Posted April 18, 2007 Share Posted April 18, 2007 What happens if the 07-08 season is a great success? Does that give her more reason to leave or to stay? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluecrewfinance Posted April 18, 2007 Share Posted April 18, 2007 more to leave. Her resume will read: "Responds well to challenges. Able to work in dynamic environment. Works well with superiors." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brianstl Posted April 18, 2007 Share Posted April 18, 2007 The longer the silence the worse they look. They better have been 8 million reasons for the change occurring. This is looking more and more like amateur hour. If you make this move, at this time you better have a plan. It sure in the hell looks like they have none. I can't wait to pony up my money for next season, which is now looking like it has been completely written off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Westy03 Posted April 18, 2007 Author Share Posted April 18, 2007 In my prediction I think the 07-08 season wont be a success. If by some stroke of luck they have a great year, it gives her a lot more incentive to get the hell out of here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glanderm Posted April 18, 2007 Share Posted April 18, 2007 Couldn't agree more. Silence would make sense if they were in the process of tying up loose ends with a big name coach. All indications are that's not the case. Refusing to convey information to fans/media/anyone at this point (and restricting the AD's office from doing so as well) just seems ridiculous. I'd like to think that they have some legitimate reason for doing this and that they are not just incredibly incompetent. Granted its still speculation at this point, but by all accounts we have a talented up-and-coming AD whose authority was completely undercut by higher-ups, and now it appears the AD and her staff are restricting from talking to the media. What AD would want to work under such conditions? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
courtside Posted April 18, 2007 Share Posted April 18, 2007 Levick will be able to discuss here own hires/upgrades for many non-revenue teams. She can talk about league titles for men's and women's soccer, baseball etc.....she can talk about the new Arena and facilities....and so on...on and on....to go along with her Santa Clara and Stanford success and experience. Debbie Yow left SLU and has won 14 National Championships since at Maryland, and is one of three female AD's at BCS league schools. She was 12 years younger than Levick at the time.
