Schasz Posted March 30, 2016 Share Posted March 30, 2016 At least they won't raise season ticket prices now, right? I wouldn't go there as we have not seen what SLU will be paying Ford yet. Seems like he was making a lot more jack at OSU than Crews was here at SLU. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billboy1 Posted March 30, 2016 Share Posted March 30, 2016 He's not worth anywhere near a million. What the hell happened Dr. C and Chris?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DeSmetBilliken Posted March 30, 2016 Share Posted March 30, 2016 i guess all I can say now is I'm confused. Anyway, he is our coach now. I hope he does well and can Make SLU Basketball Great Again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billiken Rich Posted March 30, 2016 Share Posted March 30, 2016 I guess this is why Frank Cusamano was gushing about Ford on the Glover show yesterday. I don't know if Drew was a sexy hire for the non-Billiken obsessed public but Ford isn't either. Hopefully he can recruit....... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

STLfan Posted March 30, 2016 Share Posted March 30, 2016 Not the direction I had hoped we'd go but if it's done so be it. Good luck to coach Ford. I am a bit concerned about his conference record at his last stop but I do like the fact that he has multiple NCAA appearances and has gotten there from two different schools, he did fairly well at his last A10 job including a conference championship, and is a good recruiter.

His in-game coaching is objectively poor.This is a baffling hire. We may look like a program on the rebound for a little while - assuming he can recruit here, and I think he can - but we will get frustrated when he squanders talent and fails to get us anywhere. Prove me wrong, Coach Ford! JMM28 likes this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HoosierBilliken Posted March 30, 2016 Share Posted March 30, 2016 Some thoughts: 1. Drew is a loser. We did not want him anyway. Hope he stays 10 minutes from Gary, Indiana where he belongs. Martin Luther was overrated too. If only the Inquisition was more successful... 2. Ford is going to be great. He is exactly what we needed with the incoming Junior class. He will recruit well. 3. Drew is a loser. 4. This is confirmation that May and SLU do not read this forum as I had thought. I stand corrected. It may be a good thing though. What do we know really? 5. Drew is a loser.

TheBand Posted March 30, 2016 Share Posted March 30, 2016 Per Randy Karraker: "For SLU, Travis Ford is a good hire. Not a destination job. Steppingstone/rehab job. He needs to rehab, and this is a good place to do it" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RiseAndGrind Posted March 30, 2016 Share Posted March 30, 2016 To recap: SLU unofficially fires Jim Crews 7-10 days before season SLU actually fires Jim Crews 3 minutes after season is over SLU says it wants a head coach with a high level of success SLU hires a "search firm" SLU waits 18 days SLU hires a coach that is roundly disliked and was just fired from his last job. Good job. Good effort. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aj_arete Posted March 30, 2016 Author Share Posted March 30, 2016 I can't come up with one expert who thinks Travis Ford is a good coach. Yet you look at his record at all three stops and there's been success. What am I missing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheA_Bomb Posted March 30, 2016 Share Posted March 30, 2016 http://verbalcommits.com/schools/oklahoma-state He did have a OSU commit from a Sudanese Big Man in FL that just "reopened" his recruiting after Ford was fired. Garjok Gak. Also maybe he can bring a transfer has a 3Star Fr out of IN. maybe he can show up with some players. I'm still not real enthused. Leon would've been nice.
