slu92 Posted January 25 Share Posted January 25 It’s past the point complaining about our current situation. Instead, I’d rather discuss what I would like to see happen after the end of MBB season. 1. Hire a new AD. Go get a business savvy person who can bring in new donors, raise real money for program, facility projects, manage a budget and has a clear exciting vision for program. 2. Get a new MBB coach that isn’t a retread and actually wants to make SLU a top 50 program. Do the homework and get the right person for job, don’t chase big names from the 90’s. 3. Build a real baseball facility. I can’t believe arguably the top performing program, does anyone check the records?, with a fraction of mbb budget plays in such a bad set up. It’s embarrassing and such a gut punch to coaches, alumni and current players. In this city that baseball field should be the regional gold standard. Instead it’s a regional running joke. 4. Build a softball field same reasons except winning part historically. Do this just because it right thing to do and needs to be D1 standards. 5. Hope Katie Shields can reload with another powerful assistant and Kalish can keep it up with growth off great young recruiting class. Everything starts with cleaning house and getting rid of May and Ford at the top. Program needs a fresh start and new ideas, new leadership in place. What else would everyone like to see happen? Now is time to start talking about what’s next instead of beating real dead horses! TheA_Bomb and Schasz like this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slu92 Posted January 25 Author Share Posted January 25 To follow up….the donors and BoT SLU already have done more than enough and then some over the years. It’s not fair to those individuals to keep being expected to throw money at every problem, they didn’t create! That’s my biggest wish, get an AD that uses the resources given like they were their own. Travis needed locker rooms, charter flights, new offices, this and that they stepped up big time and got nothing but excuses and more smoke blown up their butts. It’s not right. Everyone deserves better. Just wanted to make that point clear. Big donors and BoT have stepped up. To say anything bad about or wish away Dr. Chaifetz is a huge mistake and silly. Him along with other big donors care a lot and go off of the advice they are given by the person paid by slu to run department. They only know what they are told. Now if they can’t see they’ve been mislead and entrusted a moron all these years, well now that’s on them. It is all fixable, and very easily. Big picture SLU has a lot going for it. Just need the right people in place to steer program in right direction, not settle for more of the same mediocrity.
