Brighton Posted December 2, 2023 Share Posted December 2, 2023 lol no. He's the reason the program has been on a downward spiral. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Elrond Posted December 2, 2023 Share Posted December 2, 2023 A lot of people thought the Billiken low point was under Jim Crews. Sorry Jim, we were wrong. Today sucked the most, you are off the hook. BigMouthBilliken likes this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheA_Bomb Posted December 2, 2023 Share Posted December 2, 2023 We paid Crews what $400k or $500k? We're paying so much more for the same results now. 6x to lose. The person funding that check can't be happy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeSmetBilliken Posted December 2, 2023 Share Posted December 2, 2023 I regret nothing that I said about Crews 7-8 years ago. To his credit though, I don’t think Crews had a game that was as big of an unmitigated disaster as today was. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

757billiken Posted December 3, 2023 Share Posted December 3, 2023 Difference between Crews and Ford is that Crews coached with non D1 athletes/bball players. Ford has had them and arguably still does. That's whats so disappointing. Difference between Crews and Sodie was that Sodie could coach non D1 athletes/bball players and Crews couldnt.

I thought paying that man a million a year was horrible at the time, but hey we paid for an old Hoosiers retirement. Ford somehow has a worse contract.

thetorch Posted December 3, 2023 Share Posted December 3, 2023 Crews deserves no apologies. He is the worst coach in program history. I hope someone reminds him of that everyday of the week. billiken_roy, majerus mojo, JMM28 and 1 other like this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheA_Bomb Posted December 3, 2023 Share Posted December 3, 2023 Just now, cheeseman said: Which why some of us are not crazy about May picking the next coach whenever that happens. Exactly my point. Even if you think he's done well in selecting other coaches his finances in this Ford contract are straight up negligence. I'll post soon the list of A10 coaches and their salaries.

Plenty to choose from If you look at the old record book, Squint Hunter was the head coach of the Billikens in the 1926-1927 season, when they went 0-14. They got a new coach after that season.

TRN Posted December 3, 2023 Share Posted December 3, 2023 Nah, it’s possible that both coaches were/are horrible. It doesn’t need to be mutually exclusive. No apologies necessary. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
