TheA_Bomb Posted March 30, 2016 Share Posted March 30, 2016 Slightly higher level conference and little bit higher profile school...........and yes I'd be happy with that record here if he can pull it off 5 tourney appearances 1 win. So he recruits great right? Gets to the tournament 5 of 8 years. 1 Tournament win? Bad luck all those times or you just suck? Probably suck. Usually I'm not one of the posters that lose their head but this hire is bull . I really hope I'm wrong but this is just dumb. I knew the B Drew deal was real tenuous cause he's at his alma mater blah blah blah but there were/are plenty acceptable candidates. Leon Rice, Ingelburt, TJ Otzenhausershein etc. We let Stansbury, and others go for T. Ford? 1 tourney win at OSU? Oh and shut the up Karraker you're an idiot with your dumb ass "rehab" get that bull out of here you two bit hack. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheA_Bomb Posted March 30, 2016 Share Posted March 30, 2016 I know he had a few down years at OK st. but going to the tourney 5 out of 8 years is pretty damn good. I just think him and OK.ST were a bad fit. You've already established that you're an idiot you can stop now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigMouthBilliken Posted March 30, 2016 Share Posted March 30, 2016 Has SLU announced or anyone connected to SLU or Travis Ford himself? no Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JMM28 Posted March 30, 2016 Share Posted March 30, 2016 Man that one conference championship is exciting. Chris May being totally incompetent and Travis Ford being one helluva interview was a deadly combo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NH Posted March 30, 2016 Share Posted March 30, 2016 62-35 as an A-10 coach. We will compete for high caliber recruits. I'm not pumped about the hire but there is potential here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bauman Posted March 30, 2016 Share Posted March 30, 2016 This is exactly what is mind blowing to me. I'm not against the hire, he is a name coach and I wonder where all the Billiken.com MBMs have the knowledge to say he is not a good game day coach. I wouldn't want to be in a conference with KA, OK, Baylor, TX and WVA. That said, it is not a gee-whiz hire and I don' think we needed to pay a search firm anything to be able to hire Ford. I think he would have come without the intervention of a search firm. Anyway, welcome Coach Ford, now go get some players. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

STLfan Posted March 30, 2016 Share Posted March 30, 2016 Oklahoma State Forum's reaction.

Schasz 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. +1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Schasz Posted March 30, 2016 Share Posted March 30, 2016 Jim Crews has 3x as many NCAA tournament wins as Travis Ford. Let that set in for a minute. Hmm! Crews is 62 and Ford is 46. Not sure how much thought went into this post! While I am not doing cartwheels over the hire, he is the new HC and I sure hope that he does a very good job.

DeSmetBilliken Posted March 30, 2016 Share Posted March 30, 2016 Only concern is he was a UMC Tiger at one time and that usually makes you a loser for life Actually, one of my favorite qualities of Ford is that he left Mizzou and Mizzou fans don't like him for it . Something about transferring home to Kentucky when Mizzou got put on probation. They view him as a traitor or something like that. Actually, a part of me thinks he'll ingratiate himself to the media and fans. The Okie state guy Cusumano had on last week mentioned that Ford is from only 3 hours from STL and is a Cardinals fan. He can say stuff like that and people will eat that stuff up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At this pace he will catch Crews when Ford is 78. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
