bonwich Posted April 5, 2012 Share Posted April 5, 2012 At least one wouldn't think so, given that the opening (and that of an assistant) were just posted yesterday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gister Posted April 5, 2012 Share Posted April 5, 2012 At least one wouldn't think so, given that the opening (and that of an assistant) were just posted yesterday. I thought only the assistant was listed, but, after further searching, I see both positions. They are listed in different places. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brianstl Posted April 5, 2012 Share Posted April 5, 2012 Volfan posted the false report last year that Shimmy resigned and a high school coach was taking over. Just put this report in that same group. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ucan2 Posted April 5, 2012 Share Posted April 5, 2012 And why doesn't SLU advertise these positions on the NCAA website? Wouldn't their chances of getting someone better increase if they got the word out nationally, instead of just on their own internal website? Oh well, it's a women's team, so who cares? Certainly not SLU..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Certainly not SLU..... I don't think that's the problem. SLU most likely posts it on their website because they have to by law for at least 1 day. I'm pretty sure I saw postings for the mens basketball coach position when we hired Majerus, as well as the AD position when Chris May was hired. Where SLU posts coaching jobs isn't the issue, especially with men's or women's basketball. If someone is interested in the head coaching job, they're going to find out about it.

Certainly not SLU..... I wonder if their human resource policies require posting of all postions internally to give everyone a chance before they are filled. Is it possible that this is just a formality and the real candidates are being and have been contacted directly by the AD? Doesn't a new coach usually have the right to bring in their own assistants? The school would not hire an assistant before the head coach is hired. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This just meets some internal requirement and relieves the school of anyone claiming that they may have been denied an opportunity. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WestCoastBilliken Posted April 6, 2012 Share Posted April 6, 2012 Welp.... my resume is sent in... hoping for a call back! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ucan2 Posted April 26, 2012 Share Posted April 26, 2012 Just a quick update - SLU has still not put this position on the NCAA job market site. And I doubt they ever will. Women's sports are VERY low priority at SLU. Sad..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bonwich Posted April 27, 2012 Author Share Posted April 27, 2012 Would anyone really want a coach who didn't know SLU had an opening without reading it on a help-wanted website? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thetorch Posted April 27, 2012 Share Posted April 27, 2012 55 days and counting since SLU employed a Head Women's basketball coach. I think they should just go back to Shimmy, tell her it was all a joke. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OkieBilliken Posted April 27, 2012 Share Posted April 27, 2012 Is it possible the University has just decided to kill the program and no one has yet noticed? It is utterly shameful how poor this AD is on sports not called Men's Basketball. I think the Volleyball HC position was open for about six months and it took quite awhile to fill the WSoccer HC too. Why would you fire someone if you had no reasonably immediate plan to replace them. There is absolutely no reason why we shouldnt be able to field competitive teams in this conference in all sports.

billiken_roy Posted April 27, 2012 Share Posted April 27, 2012 something unexpected must have happened, as i was told by a very good source saturday at the SLU spring fling that the deal for women's HC was all but done and we would hear this week. well the week is over in about 8 hours.

slu72 fan Posted April 27, 2012 Share Posted April 27, 2012 I was told 2 weeks ago, that the AD had made a selection, but the contract had to be negotiated and approved by the University. I doubt that this is the first time that the process has taken a long time or not allowed us to hire the first choice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ucan2 Posted April 30, 2012 Share Posted April 30, 2012 The women's softball team was without a coach all summer 2 years ago. They named a coach like a few days, maybe a week, before school started - too late for anyone to consider transferring. That position was never advertised nationally, either.
