brianstl Posted March 23, 2016 Share Posted March 23, 2016 Russell Turner would be a good option. He's still coaching. I really think Turner would be a good hire. His name has been mentioned with the Stanford job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ARon Posted March 23, 2016 Share Posted March 23, 2016 If we can't get Drew we should be calling Becky Hammon. I wouldn't mind if SLU explored that option at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cowboy Posted March 23, 2016 Share Posted March 23, 2016 -if Chris May doesn't understand the significance of this hire and how his job and future depend on it, he should not be involved in making it -I have blind confidence DrP will have final say and he will use the opinions of folks other than CMay -it has been speculated on this board that DrChaifetz is also involved, that leads me to have confidence we will get a good or great coach Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SLU_Nick Posted March 23, 2016 Share Posted March 23, 2016 Alright, now let's see if the Russel Turner rumor "starts" circulating on Twitter from the people who get paid to research/write about basketball. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cheeseman Posted March 23, 2016 Share Posted March 23, 2016 This occurred to me - I am sure someone has called Bryce Drew or his people and asked him about the SLU job rumor. Since he has said nothing one way or the other then it seems to me that he is in play either to talk with or has already agreed. If he had no interest or had not been serious about SLU he would just come out like his brother did with Pitt and say he has no interest in SLU but he has not.

Second, I'm not saying that this is the case, but I wouldn't be surprised if Cusumano's source is Homer Drew. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Wiz Posted March 23, 2016 Share Posted March 23, 2016 I read with interest all the talk about Dooley. If he ( or anyone else who is not involved in a tournament right now ) is " our guy" then he would be our coach right now.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you listen to Frank's show later on? Did you catch the part about some Drew insider texted into him to reply about what would attract Drew to the job and the answer was the school, money and something about conference realignment for SLU? I am not sure if I heard the conference realignment part right, if it was just BS or if we should think that the Big East as a destination for SLU might be back on the table.

I came away thinking the same thing like "did he just say that". I could see Chaifetz/May really selling this to Drew, well that and $2 million a year.

davidnark Posted March 23, 2016 Share Posted March 23, 2016 Regarding conference realignment -- I have been told that Fox Sports would still like to expand the BE to 12, that St. Louis/SLU is still the most desirable market/school, and that the administration is committed to fund and operate the entire athletic department at a BE level to support the desire. However, I have also been told that there is not necessarily a groundswell of support among the BE school presidents to expand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quality Is Job 1 Posted March 23, 2016 Share Posted March 23, 2016 I came away thinking the same thing like "did he just say that". I could see Chaifetz/May really selling this to Drew, well that and $2 million a year. I'd be shocked if SLU would offer anyone $2 mil a year. I don't think they'll go much higher than what they paid Coach Majerus, and that would be for a proven successful head coach, not someone with potential. A coach with lesser credentials would likely start in the range of what Crews was making. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
