WVBilliken Posted April 27, 2007 Share Posted April 27, 2007 What I heard Cusumano is that he actually confirmed this in a conversation with Majeras. Sounds solid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moytoy12 Posted April 27, 2007 Share Posted April 27, 2007 Is that what Frank said? This is obviously great news, but i think everyone (including myself) is a little hesitant to believe it (with reason). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ACE Posted April 27, 2007 Share Posted April 27, 2007 Forgive me if I take a wait and see attitude on this one considering everything that has gone on this past week. I would feel better if the folks at ESPN would start talking about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slumn1 Posted April 27, 2007 Share Posted April 27, 2007 Not going to happen but it will make you feel better until Monday when you find out he decided not to get back in coaching. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pistol Posted April 27, 2007 Share Posted April 27, 2007 What time is the press conference? Also, I don't like the fact we have a weekend before this thing. He could easily change his mind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheBand Posted April 27, 2007 Share Posted April 27, 2007 Majerus Named Head Coach Rick Majerus will lead the Billikens into the 2007-08 season. April 27, 2007 ST. LOUIS - Saint Louis University President Lawrence Biondi, S.J., announced today that Rick Majerus will be the new Billikens head men's basketball coach. Prior to working as a college basketball analyst for ESPN for the last three years, Majerus amassed a 422-147 career head coaching record and took his teams to the postseason 15 times. The University will hold an on-campus news conference at 10 a.m. Monday, April 30, to formally announce Majerus' appointment. The news conference will be held in Busch Student Center, 20 N. Grand Blvd. "I am extremely excited about having a person of Rick Majerus' stature and reputation at the helm of our men's basketball team. I know that we are now headed to take our men's basketball team to the next level" Father Biondi said. "Rick and I have gotten a chance to know each other over the past week, and I am very impressed with all that he will bring to our men's basketball program, including his commitment to run a program that we can all be proud of." "Rick Majerus is known as one of the most passionate basketball coaches in America, and he has already communicated that passion to all he has met at SLU," said Director of Athletics Cheryl Levick. "Rick is committed to taking our men's basketball program to the next level, which is what our athletic department and all Billiken fans want. We are also excited about what this means to SLU athletics." Majerus will join University officials at the news conference Monday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great news, I just hope he is serious this time and sticks with it unlike he did at USC (still some bitter folks out there). SLU got it right this time after screwing it up 5 years ago! Time to dust off the Billiken gear. FYI, until he passes his recruiting exam at SLU he can't recruit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All coaches have to pass a yearly recruiting exam with an 80% (32 out of 40). It's open book, not that hard (some coaches don't pass the first time but you have to wait a month before you can take it again), but before they can go off campus to recruit they have to pass it and be certified.

Milwaukee Billiken Posted April 28, 2007 Share Posted April 28, 2007 AT can still recruit though. Just the news that Thick Rick is head coach is going to mean a lot to most recruits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slufanskip Posted April 28, 2007 Share Posted April 28, 2007 so it sounds as if he could talk on the phone or the recruit could come here? thanks for the info, I didn't know that. How do you not pass an open book test? Official Billikens.com sponsor of H Waldman Official Sponser of the Stemmler and Ahearn could and would have helped club.
