bauman Posted October 14, 2020 Share Posted October 14, 2020 Maybe, with his relationship with Mark Few he can pull off playing the Zags every year or so. Hopefully he has some good recruiting contacts from his days as the Drake HC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crymdg2 Posted October 14, 2020 Share Posted October 14, 2020 I actually really like this move! Between Ford, Tate and Stuen we should be covered recruiting wise. The Xs and Os are what Giocoletti can really help with. Anything in addition to that is just a bonus. AGB91 likes this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everything I've seen on Twitter, etc. is people saying the staff is "full", but isn't that asst to the HC posiiton now open? I suspect that with the budget restrictions due to COVID, SLU just won't have anyone in that spot for at least 2020-21. The position was only added last year, so it is not like we're going to be extremely understaffed compared to prior years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NH Posted October 15, 2020 Share Posted October 15, 2020 I understand this move given all the financial pressures the AD is likely under. And I’m sure Giacoletti will do a good job. But we lost our lead assistant in Bailey because of money and then effectively did not replace him (presumably for cost reasons). Last year we lost our lead assistant in Macon (who took a pay raise to leave) and replaced him with a much cheaper and less-experienced internal promotion. Dont get me wrong, I think we have a great staff. But I just hope that Travis is consistently getting the resources he needs to make this a top 50 program.

Yep. Chapley has a geeky sense of humor. But he's our geek. SLU_Nick, RUBillsFan, HoosierPal and 1 other like this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
