tseugnekillib Posted May 13, 2004 Share Posted May 13, 2004 Frankie C. has been throwing out the former SLU assistant AD, now the AD at UW-GB, for several days now on his a.m. radio show. I assume that's where BM is getting the name. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billiken_roy Posted May 13, 2004 Share Posted May 13, 2004 got to wonder if botthoff isnt campaigning for the job with the media being on the bandwagon as such. i hope we look around and truly conduct a national search for the best guy. if after investigating all options, botthoff is truly the best we have to get, great, but if they name him in a relatively short time, that would have made a search almost impossible, we got cheated imo.

3star_recruit Posted May 13, 2004 Share Posted May 13, 2004 With the momentum the athletic department has going, I can't imagine Father Biondi signing off on a retread. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schasz Posted May 13, 2004 Share Posted May 13, 2004 Seems to me USF found no shortage of very qualified candidates, and I would not think SLU would either. If this Botthoff dude was the person responsible for the current p!ss poor TV deal for the basketball team then I sure hope that we look the other way when he calls.

STLfan Posted May 13, 2004 Share Posted May 13, 2004 What are our chances of stealing an experienced ad from a DI program. Do we have the money to steal such an ad. Maybe go after Gonzaga's. He would be used to dealing with a private university and they just built a new arena. Or someone else like that. What do you all think?

tseugnekillib Posted May 13, 2004 Share Posted May 13, 2004 broy, if my recall is correct, the last three AD searches produced Joe Yates from LSU, Debbie Yow from North Carolina-Greensboro, and Doug Woolard from Washington State. Perhaps this time the Midwest will produce SLU's next AD (guy or gal). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheA_Bomb Posted May 13, 2004 Share Posted May 13, 2004 Okay okay guys enough hints...."dynamic, fresh look, energetic, go getter" You guys are so persistent, of course I'll be the new SLU AD. All you had to do was ask. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sheltiedave Posted May 13, 2004 Share Posted May 13, 2004 A Bomb, don't forget to add $7 to $12K for insurance for you and your lovely wife. Most companies don't offer comprehensive BC/BS like you have in the army. When you come through St. Louis, give me a ring. I'll set you up with the Dept. of Energy Radiation Controls Tech Study guide and Safety study guides. You can walk into a $18 to $22/hr job in St. Louis, Oak Ridge, or Paducah with your experience and qual certs. Just shoot me an e-mail when you are around!

GMan Alum Posted May 13, 2004 Share Posted May 13, 2004 Just to start some conversation, how about Charlie Spoonhour? He is revered by the city and let's face it, the new AD is going to have to sell basketball tickets (down almost 10,000 a game since he left) and raise funds for the new arena. Give him a three-year contract and at the same time, hire a guy to be his right-hand man (or woman) who will inherit the job when Charlie retires. He wouldn't be coaching, so his health shouldn't be an issue. Any other thoughts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Charlie could host funraisers at Cardinal games and Jimmy Biffet concerts it might work. Although he never put much effort into recruiting so I don't think he'd put much effort into fundraising.

volfan Posted May 13, 2004 Share Posted May 13, 2004 WHy don't they just hire Lori Flanagan as the new AD. She has been there a long time and knows what is going on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
willie Posted May 13, 2004 Share Posted May 13, 2004 The last time SLU had a celebrity AD was when they hired Jim Bakken. What a disaster. SLU paid for a membership at Algonquin CC for him to entertain and raise money from big wigs . All he did was play golf by himself,never was in the office and brought in no money.

billiken_roy Posted May 13, 2004 Share Posted May 13, 2004 it is my understanding that spoon didnt leave on good terms. let spoon ride off into the sunset. we dont need a glad hander. we need a tireless worker that isnt looking for a retirement job. frank c mentioned today on his show that santa clara's ad, cheryl levick was a possibility. her is a link to her bio from santa clara site: http://santaclarabroncos.collegesports.com...vickcheryl.html i think this is more in line with what we want. local ties, success at two separate high academic schools with one being a jesuit environment, a recently completed new basketball arena and a capital fundraising drive and a list of "firsts" a mile long. go after this woman.

Billiken Rich Posted May 13, 2004 Share Posted May 13, 2004 I'd take her if we could pry out of California. Gas is cheaper here and our Gov never took steroids but other than that Cali's got us beat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tseugnekillib Posted May 13, 2004 Share Posted May 13, 2004 I like the fact that see has worked at a Jesuit university, thus she knows the meaning of a "less than overflowing budget". Looks like a great candidate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

billiken_roy Posted May 13, 2004 Share Posted May 13, 2004 it's been so long and she has since spent all that time at santa clara in a true jesuit collegiate atmosphere, i am hoping she has washed the bad experience and horrible college choice of her youth out of her system.

Quality Is Job 1 Posted May 13, 2004 Share Posted May 13, 2004 ...not! You should not associate a person who has a degree from the University of Missouri-Columbia with the misdeeds of the Missouri athletic department. There's nothing wrong with Mizzou, the university. My degree is from UMSL (the University of Missouri-St. Louis), which is in the same system -- does that mean something is wrong with me?

slu72 Posted May 13, 2004 Share Posted May 13, 2004 No Thicks you're ok...you didn't go to Boone county and get infected by the water. I like this Santa Clara AD. Sounds perfect. Does anyone know if she's remotely interested? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
