Dwayne's_World Posted March 18, 2016 Share Posted March 18, 2016 Just curious, why do some consider Cuonzo a home run hire? What has he done as a coach that makes him so desirable? Look at the players he has coming in next year for Cal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CBFan Posted March 18, 2016 Share Posted March 18, 2016 Wanting a "top flight" coach isn't the same as getting one. You can want all you want. Doesn't change the reality that SLU can't attract a coach that will have that immediate of an impact (Elite 8 in 3-4 years - your standard). How could anyone, by the way, take this bottomed-out program to the Elite 8 by 2019? Everyone wants to see SLU have that kind of success, but be realistic. Let me reiterate: the opportunity to hire a "top flight" coach does not equal the ability or the actuality of hiring one. Since the hiring of Coach Majerus I believe it can happen again. Not only was coach Majerus was top flight he was a coaching legend. SLU facilities are top flight and they are in a good conference and that should once again give SLU a real good shot. SLU should have several good coaching options to choose from. I agree with your comments of the elite 8 timeline, even a legend like coach Majerus took time to get to the big dance. This is all exciting good stuff and I really look forward to the day the new coach is announced. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WestCoastBilliken Posted March 18, 2016 Share Posted March 18, 2016 Who is this coach to take us to the Elite 8 in 3 years? Izzo is not coming here. Drew? I would love Drew to come here, but come on...why do you expect him to be taking us to the Elite 8 in 3 years? Martin? Why? He has a strong class next year but hasn't been to an Elite 8 before. Anyone else? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slu72 Posted March 18, 2016 Share Posted March 18, 2016 Getting in the dance is the top priority. Anything can happen once you get there unless you're a 16 seed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slu72 Posted March 18, 2016 Share Posted March 18, 2016 Read the state of UCLA further down that thread. You will see a lot of similarities between Alford and Crews. We don't want Alford, and we don't want Lavin. Howland would have been nice. Beard hopefully. Barkley just paid him a huge compliment on how he adjusts to the game.

Pistol Posted March 18, 2016 Share Posted March 18, 2016 Alford is a terrible coach. I've never seen anyone fail upward like that guy. He puts Gregory to shame in that department. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brianstl Posted March 18, 2016 Share Posted March 18, 2016 Alford is a terrible coach. I've never seen anyone fail upward like that guy. He puts Gregory to shame in that department. Alford has at least won multiple conference championships and hes been to the Sweet 16 three times. Gregory has won 1 NCAA tournament game in 13 seasons.

Franchise_08 Posted March 18, 2016 Share Posted March 18, 2016 I believe Alford lead a Southwest Missouri State team to the sweet 16. That had something to do with coaching. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slu72 Posted March 18, 2016 Share Posted March 18, 2016 Bring stallings here please. I think if Vandy was going to fire him they'd have done it by now. Of course, they may be waiting to see who emerges as the next can't miss up and comer in the post season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course, they may be waiting to see who emerges as the next can't miss up and comer in the post season. Or waiting to see if another program (like us) wants to hire Stallings. That way they'd avoid having to pay his buyout. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
