brianstl Posted June 5, 2007 Share Posted June 5, 2007 Nick: Jeff, How long do you really see Rick Majerus staying at SLU? I don't see the guy staying longer than 18 months. With his track record and health concerns, SLU will be searching again in 2009. Jeff Gordon: Yeah, the over-under ought to be two seasons. If he makes things happen -- and holds up physically -- all the big schools will come calling. He can win and he can sell tickets. http://www.stltoday.com/discussions/sports.../LD06010715/all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Westy03 Posted June 5, 2007 Share Posted June 5, 2007 If Majerus leaves SLU early it wont be for a "big time school". Im confident in that. Hey may step down due to health but it seems like he has that under control at this point in time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brianstl Posted June 5, 2007 Author Share Posted June 5, 2007 I would bet that the Nick guy who asked that question is the same Nick that runs tigerboard.com. Gordon's answer is about what you should expect from a former antler. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Westy03 Posted June 5, 2007 Share Posted June 5, 2007 Anyone who asks Jeff Gordon about SLU basketball, obviously doesnt have a clue. Edit: Did you see yet again today another thread about Majerus and how long he will last on tigerboard. They seriously have a hard on for Majerus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NashvilleBilliken Posted June 5, 2007 Share Posted June 5, 2007 I agree. If Rick wanted to coach at a big school, I think he could have had that opportunity. Furthermore, when a "big" school hires there coach, they are looking for a long term solution. Somebody who will be with that school for awhile. Everybody knows Rick isn't in this for the long haul (i.e 15+ years). I'm hoping, and actually feel confident, that we get our 6 years.

Abe Froman Posted June 5, 2007 Share Posted June 5, 2007 I'd put a month's paycheck on no more than 3 years, but the program will be in a better place than what it is at now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slu72 Posted June 6, 2007 Share Posted June 6, 2007 Never say never, but I'd be really surprised if RM left for a bigger program. Reasoning: He goes BCS he invites a lot of pressure. Yes, he's under some strain to produce here, but it's a pittance to what he'd undergo at most BCS programs. Also, he doesn't strike me as the type whose in it solely for the $$$, more a comfort zone thing to him. Again, Utah wasn't a BCS school, yet he was there for 15 years. No biggie put out feelers in all that time? I think he reneged on USC because he sensed the pressure that would come with that job from supporters, alum, press, etc. If he leaves it will be for his health.

I agree that when he leaves it will be health realated. Major heart problems in the past, pushing 60 years old, more overweight than Homer Simpson, not a good combo.
