How about a guy who has extensive experience as an AD in the same state, and who has knowledge of the St Louis market? Chris May to Columbia! Who’s with me on this? Guess who is a VP of the firm selected by Mizzou to find an AD? Coach Gates wife. Conflict? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats actually hilarious, you can’t make stuff like that up. Well if Coach Gates wants someone in the AD chair that will do what they’re told….

TheA_Bomb Posted March 8 Author Share Posted March 8 Y'all know I'm not a SPUMAC fan but who cares if the coach has input/influence albeit indirectly to the AD hire. I'm telling you alignment in the programs is key to winning these days. It takes a machine. Row the boat and all that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She should recommend whoever Drink wants as his AD. Football is king in the SEC, keep the coach of the golden goose happy. I hope they hire the worst candidate possible, maybe they can get a mediocre AD with no football experience for the last 15 years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheA_Bomb Posted March 17 Author Share Posted March 17 Has anyone noticed Drake MBB and WBB are both conference champions? They both made the tournament for the second year in a row. The W Soccer team also won the conference. Is Drake AD a better job than SLU? I don't think so. Maybe that's a good candidate.

ACE Posted April 6 Share Posted April 6 This was never going to come down to a "grass roots movement." That's child's play. If this type of change was going to happen, it was going to be driven by the adults, led by Doc Chaifetz. We should all be thankful to have this kind of support. cheeseman, Billfan7 and SLUMedBilliken15 like this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheA_Bomb Posted April 6 Author Share Posted April 6 I like the article, when you need to have articles like this written you know there's problems/pressure. So it's good. I think, I hope May retires soon. Because I don't think SLU is competitive (cut throat) enough to fire him. So they'll let him retire. Keep the pressure on. SLU AD isn't a cush spot to chill and collect a check. We need results. We need some leadership. We can do better than Chris May. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a suspicion that once the new President comes in there will be a change in the AD position. It will be presented as a “retirement” with all the ceremonial stuff and the gold watch, etc. Then, a new person will take over. Perhaps that person has already been identified and is employed in another position. TheA_Bomb likes this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SLU is hiring a coach that many on this board wanted. Actions taken by people in this thread made national level websites. Multiple articles about AD May's future. Rumors swirling that May is retiring. I'm sure all that had nothing to do with the pressure amped up by posters on this board, podcasts, X posts. I'd like to thank you @DOC for the role you so willingly played. You see, despite your ignorance and inane posts you helped to bump this thread to the top. Thus keeping it active and your constant, ignorant, bad takes became the representation of those against the movement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DOC, regardless of who deserves credit, I hope you are able to transition away from 100% negative posting. The fan base is more energized right now than I've seen it in a long, long time.

thetorch Posted April 6 Share Posted April 6 The online campaign to dump Ford and hire Schertz/not hire Ahearn had a definite effect on the decisions made in the last few weeks. How can you not see this? Burnergate doesn't happen without the online pressure. That embarrassment was the tipping point in Ford's tenure. There was no coming back after that. The AD's office is still talking about the box of clown noses. It was a big black eye for them. May might still have them, he did for several weeks after. The silly multi year flirtation with Blake Ahearn was put down completely by online pressure. Schertz as a a candidate was enhanced exponentially by the support of him online. But yeah the grassroots thing was stupid. The AD, Board of Trustees, and big boosters all read this board and Billikens Twitter. What we say does influence and shape their decisions. billikenfan05, MusicCityBilliken, slufan13 and 3 others like this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
