I’m calling BS on this one..so everyone in town knows about this, but you’re the only one who can’t keep his mouth shut…. Not buying it…

I’m not saying this is true or not but courtside has broken news on more than one occasion.  
It’s not like some rando throwing crap against the wall and hoping something sticks.

Don't know if OU is already to say goodbye to Porter. Let's make sure the rumor on Ford holds true then the speculation can begin on the new HC.

Just wanted to add some more spice to the conversation.

If this is true one thing is for sure, May is not in charge in any significant way.

if by some miracle Porter Moser would come back to SLU we would finally have peace and harmony on the board. Even the trolliest of trolls wouldn't find anything to complain about there.

Some Porter Moser facts:  19 years as a Head Coach with 2 NCAA appearances.  (Yes, yes I know Loyola went FF in a magical run.)  His teams won the conference title three times, but didn't make it to the NCAA one of those times.  At OU he has been a .500 coach. 

Not saying thumbs up or thumbs down, but I wouldn't be satisfied with two NCAA trips every 19 years. 

He is very much a great person.

Maybe he wants to retire for a while. He’s made plenty of money and this season had to take a toll on him. Maybe he is just tired of the grind and wants a break.

I was thinking the same way. The old “we have agreed it’s time to part ways” line might be used and actually be true.

Again I know nothing but man not even this season. Going back to losing his damned nephew, assistant coach and mentee and not taking some significant time away always surprised me and I’ve always said it wouldn’t surprise me if he was just worn out. 
 

I have an axe to grind with the OG poster of this rumor, that being said and agreeing with another poster. Homie has never really been a wolf crier, except the time he accused me of plagiarism.

Well May is not known for quick decisions but if this true I would guess they have somebody already hired.

If it were going to happen, there is no way they would announce it during the same weekend that the women's team made their first ever tournament appearance. We'll see what happens but the delay in announcing wouldn't be a reason for me to believe it's untrue. Chris May's comments still make me think not but things change and boosters do talk if they've been approached about things 

The comments made by May were just the kiss of death vote of confidence.  I said then and it still stands in my opinion

No way this is May’s decision. Someone else, possibly Ford. I could definitely see Ford walking away.

May is not the decider - don't kid yourself.  We already lived through this once before with Sodie and RM and Levick.

I'm not a moser fan.   Don't see that as an upgrade.

I believe the now current BoT chair found out about Brad getting fired on this board.

Apparently I misread your post - I reread it and I see what you are saying.

Over Ford it's an upgrade -- it would be great to see an even better name.

Ed Cooley to Georgetown all but confirmed. You figure St. John’s works a deal with Slick Rick which leaves providence college open. Wonder who they will land. Their message board seems to be high on Chris Mack

I don't think Mack is going to Providence.

C. Mack to SLU, I don't want to get into bidding war with Providence.  I hear it's a nice town though.   What were they paying Cooley?

Who else is a Providence candidate?

Cooley was making $3.3 million at Providence in 2020 and got raise before this season.
