TaLBErt Posted February 3 Share Posted February 3 Here’s one. Alex Barlow. He’s drawing up plays to take down 14th ranked Creighton at home. Obviously, when the Butler job opens up he’d be gone but this is the type of coaching candidate I’d be looking for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BLIKNS Posted February 4 Share Posted February 4 The Atlantic has a great story http://www.theatlantic.com about Indiana State's Coach..Schertz. Some people have mentioned him if we moved on from Coach Ford Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scoop Posted February 4 Share Posted February 4 I would look at Greg Heiar. Got let go after a few off court issues surfaced and he was kinda the scapegoat. Dude came to Mineral Area and has them ranked 2nd at 21-0 in his 1st year. Nice guy, young, coaches hard and has he team playing ridiculous defense. MAC is always good but I've never had so many people tell me I have to see this team play. They blow almost everyone out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m firmly in the “Fire Ford” camp, but if it came down to keeping Ford or hiring Heiar, I’d run down Ford’s contract. That’s way too much baggage for me. 14 minutes ago, Taj79 said: Sorry I'm lazy.

There’s a number of coaches who get thrown out there on sports talk radio whenever SLU has an opening purely out of name recognition in the local media (Barry Hinson, Jay Spoonhour for example). Good people, but I call that list the “Coaches whose mention as a SLU head coach candidate makes me want to throw up”. I’d hire anyone on that list over Heiar.

So we're all agreed no coaches that are rapists, were rapists or coached rapists. But also did you notice the schools' settlement for multiple sexual assaults was less than Ford's buy out?

I think the national debt may also be less than Ford's buyout too. SLUMedBilliken15 and Billikenbooster like this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was when Spoon quit and we ended up hiring Romer. Bliss was still with New Mexico. He turned us down and ended up at Baylor.

Scoop Posted February 4 Share Posted February 4 Easy boys. I don't think our program can throw stones regarding sex scandals. Have met the guy and I was impressed. Actually don't give a sh*t. Just throwing a name out there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can call situations 1 & 2 “sex scandals”, but they are far from it. #1 was due to the girl involved having parents that were friends with the old Business School namesake, and #2 was due to girls being unhappy that their indiscretions were videotaped. New Mexico State’s issues were in the locker room, and the coach knew about it and didn’t report it. Heiar seems really impressive, in a Harvey Weinstein sort of way.

The $55M shortfall for the athletics department is from COVID loans. What are your thoughts on their University President, the guy on the hook for a $250M deficit? The AD was a sacrificial lamb for the academics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
