A10Ref Posted December 3, 2021 Share Posted December 3, 2021 Throw back to when mizzou wanted 2 at home and 1 in STL.. we shouldn't accept anything that plays in Como given the state of their program. The border war in a few weeks is going to be ugly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, in a moment of weakness, I checked out Tigerboard to get their perspective and found this amazingly sane post: http://tigerboard.com/boards/view.php?message=17866228 He's got a better job whether anyone wants to admit it Missouri has fallen to the depths, and its ineptitude is only surpassed by the unrealistic place in college basketball hierarchy its fan have for it. MU is trending toward a dead fv<king last finish in the SEC this season and Ford has a job where he tells the AD what to do and when to get it done, runs the program as he sees fit and doesn't have to compete with football. Why would he come to work for a hyphenated last name in a giant albatross of a gym where football runs the show? He's been at that school, OSU, and it sucked. One thing I thought was revealing in our first interview with Ford on the podcast is how he talked about the things he was looking for when he took the SLU job "as a place to finish my career". He's got the mentality of someone committed to a place long-term. A recent article from Stu suggested he's making $2MM+. It would take a lot for him to take another job like that. That said, it's in our best interest to have at least a little stability at the larger in-state power conference school. Martin has a big buyout but these schools always seem to come up with the money when they want to. But I also don't think Ford is a splashy enough hire for them right now. It's not like SLU is coming off consecutive Sweet Sixteens. I'm wondering what the sweet spot is for the next hire. Will they try to go big or will they feel constrained by the amount of the buyout? Marshall and Pitino both make sense as names people would be throwing around because they've both had high-level success and very public downfalls, so fans might be thinking they could grab them on the way back up for a discount. Who knows what the landscape looks like by the time the spring rolls around, though. CBFan likes this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's always the same 4-5 snowflakes who get triggered on the "stick to sports" crowd whose posts are 90% non-sports related. This one is truly bizarre to me because no one said anything against any religion or political belief. Just called out a lousy school. It's unreal that anyone here would take it personally. You're a sensitive lot. I genuinely don't see it coming most of the time, but I'm also not particularly interested in jumping on inane culture wars at every opportunity like you guys are.

Pistol Posted December 3, 2021 Share Posted December 3, 2021 Thanks @Littlebilland @johnbj14- Stu also mentioned it in a recent article but they all confirm what one another are saying. I don't see a school like Mizzou offering that much more to go to a place with so much more immediate downside risk. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slufanskip Posted December 3, 2021 Share Posted December 3, 2021 As much as we hate to admit it there are some really good reasons to go to Columbia as a coach. 1. Cheating is ok. Everyone else has already done it, so no one will really even notice 2. Ratio of meth to resident. 3. Super nice trailer parks 4. Easy access to truck stops with lot lizards 5. Gas Station Fried Chicken 6. Plenty of seating options for family and friends at basketball or football games. 7. Barbers experienced with the Mullet cut. 8. Save on dentist bills, you don't want to stand out with a nice smile. 9. Unique SPUMAC nickname that you can be proud of. 10. Save on wardrobe expense as wife beater t's are on sale frequently at Walmart TheA_Bomb, A10Ref, rgbilliken and 1 other like this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think GCU was Baptist at some point, but is just "Christian" now and doesn't necessarily prescribe to an evangelical dogma. The only real knock against them is that they have no business in the NCAA as a for-profit school - unrelated to any faith-based mission they may adhere to.

RUBillsFan Posted December 4, 2021 Share Posted December 4, 2021 2 hours ago, willie said: I think people said that last year His entire starting lineup was going into their senior year and he didn’t do anything in the NCAA tournament. Coaches don’t typically leave in that situation. The more strategic move is to raise your profile with another great season & hopefully a more successful NCAA run, then jump ship to a better landing spot / higher salary then you could have gotten the previous year. Way better than being stuck in a rebuild making relative peanuts western NY. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
