Billy Ken Posted December 23, 2017 Share Posted December 23, 2017 Are the title IX folks also in charge of hiring a new men's soccer coach? It's Christmas and we still don't have a coach, is anyone else concerned? Or know what's going on? I know from very good sources Chris May said he was going to get a big time coach, so maybe that's the hold up. Hopefully so! Merry Christmas to all! almaman likes this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spoon-Balls Posted December 23, 2017 Share Posted December 23, 2017 If Chris May can't come up with a good hire for the soccer program, is he on the hot seat? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He just signed a 5 year deal when Ford was hired. No NCAAs for all programs the last 3 years. The question is how hot is his seat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The administration has always given the soccer program the short end of the stick. The Billikens job isn't that great if a job anymore I fear.

TheGrandLife Posted December 23, 2017 Share Posted December 23, 2017 Aside from Basketball it isn't a good job for any sport..Maybe Women's soccer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheGrandLife Posted December 25, 2017 Share Posted December 25, 2017 I suppose it isn't an awful job for Womens sports at SLU. But not having a mens coach locked down is crazy IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But then again, I'm not 100% sure how soccer recruiting works. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure they will start the search again once the next semester starts. They probably have more important stuff to do right now like drink hot chocolate and look at Christmas lights.

WUH Posted December 26, 2017 Share Posted December 26, 2017 I am just guessing, but my guess is that they got close to hiring someone. Possibly someone who was coaching in November. They made an offer and were eventually left hanging. Just a guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billy Ken Posted December 26, 2017 Author Share Posted December 26, 2017 If I was a parent of one of the players I'd be more than upset that there wasn't a coach in place, everyone is in limbo. I heard the job has been turned down by multiple candidates and as of right now it's back to square one. If this is true that is so bad. I think I'm getting to the point where I'm caring less and less about SLU in general because of how the whole place keeps shooting itself in the foot all the time! Sorry just feeling down on soccer situation and MBB situation. Very upsetting. NextYearBill likes this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SLUBALLS Posted December 30, 2017 Share Posted December 30, 2017 Neighbors up northwest are making an upgrade to one of the best soccer facilities in college soccer: http://gocreighton.com/sports/2015/10/24/Development_Morrison.aspx?prl=636366809379327934 No coach. No MLS in the "soccer capital of the US". Hate the feeling that we are quickly seeing the demise of any potential for SLU to reassert itself as a national power.

I get the feeling that we are trying to throw money at a coach instead of throwing money into the actual problem which is facilities. I’m sure the coaches are turning it down because there’s not enough commitment there. TheChosenOne and TaLBErt like this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CU’s director of soccer operations is a Jesuit priest; amazing and we have denied our roots by hiring a layman in every sense of the word as our university president. Creighton truly dominating.

Clock_Tower Posted December 31, 2017 Share Posted December 31, 2017 Another reason little old Creighton, from small market Nebraska, made the Big East while SLU from the 20th largest TV market did not... Winning men's basketball games will sure help, but our sports program overall (has not appreciably improved... and may have decreased) over the last 25 years. Where is the funding for our sports program. Remember when SLU was a national power in volleyball b/c of our hiring the right coach? Now, we seem to have solid coaches for men's basketball and baseball and our women's basketball appears to be in good shape but not much of anything else. Sad.

Anne Kordes - she was almost selling out Chaifetz when the Penn States and Stanfords of the women's volleyball world came to call. One of the best coaches to ever don Billiken Blue in any sport.
