LongLiveLisch Posted March 31, 2016 Share Posted March 31, 2016 Good. Let's begin the rebuild. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dwayne's_World Posted March 31, 2016 Share Posted March 31, 2016 Welcome to SLU Coach Ford! Maybe he will come in with a chip on his shoulder, wanting to learn from his mistakes? If he can bring in a great X's and O's guy, get some high level recruits, and make some minor tweaks to his system for a conference like the A10, maybe it will all work out? Let's hope he'll get us back to the tourney in 3-4 years.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moytoy12 Posted March 31, 2016 Share Posted March 31, 2016 Looking forward to our new coach in three years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeSmetBilliken Posted March 31, 2016 Share Posted March 31, 2016 If anyone from here goes to the press conference, print off directions to Althoff to give Coach Ford. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kshoe Posted March 31, 2016 Share Posted March 31, 2016 I may not like the hire but there's no point bitching about it now. Time to get behind him and hope for the best. A few recruiting successes early on will go a long way to turning public opinion quickly. JMM28 likes this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slufan13 Posted March 31, 2016 Share Posted March 31, 2016 Maybe it'll be easier to turn talent into wins at SLU than Ok St. At a minimum he'll elevate the program from the dumpster fire of Jim Crews. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WestCoastBilliken Posted March 31, 2016 Share Posted March 31, 2016 Lets start with an announcement that that 4 star big man will be coming to Slu. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kshoe Posted March 31, 2016 Share Posted March 31, 2016 Think he's already said he's going to Florida. Somebody speculated he was going to Florida. Probably will end up right but the kid hasn't said that yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

73Billiken Posted March 31, 2016 Share Posted March 31, 2016 On board with Travis Ford, let's get this program back on track. If he can recruit players to Stillwater OK, he can surely recruit players to come to SLU. No more dumpster fires, let's leave those to Mizzou.

STLfan Posted March 31, 2016 Share Posted March 31, 2016 Glad we officially know who our coach is going to be. Next up will be seeing what kind of staff he can put together. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
White Pelican Posted March 31, 2016 Share Posted March 31, 2016 Somebody speculated he was going to Florida. Probably will end up right but the kid hasn't said that yet. Ah, you are correct. His last statement was that he has reopened his recruitment. Maybe there's a chance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GOSLU68 Posted March 31, 2016 Share Posted March 31, 2016 A big man coach for centers and power forwards and possibly Erwin Claggett or Justin Love to coach shooting guards. A coach who can travel internationally from Australia to Russia to get us a 280 pound Number 5 man who will rebound and stop up the middle with blocked shots Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JMM28 Posted March 31, 2016 Share Posted March 31, 2016 So they came out and said it wasn't true, but then less than 24 hours later announce it? This university and its overmatched athletic department couldn't pull off a successful one car parade. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
STLfan Posted March 31, 2016 Share Posted March 31, 2016 Who would you like to see on his staff? Good question. I don't have any specific names but a couple of good recruiters with AAU connections would be nice. And based on the description the OSU poster gave of Ford's coaching abilities an assistant that's good with x and o's and is hopefully good with developing post players.
