I’d rather SLU take a little bit of time and get it right than rush.

If we strike out on Schertz, mccollum, Mack and Porter, then its time to slow down and make sure we get it right.

Yeah each of those dates was too late in that era. I can't even imagine waiting until the end of the month in the current era. History says we should be worried but I'm hoping we get this one right. 

SLU hasnt gotten much right since Ed McCauley graduated.

and DeVries. I know we have our top targets but i would say DeVries is someone to consider going after.

The funny thing is the wording of his comments to Stu basically read as if he’s confirming that Travis will be fired in short order (following the tournament).  So why not just get it over with instead of this stupid lip service where everyone can read the tea leaves?

I’m honestly surprised May did an interview.  His non answer basically says Ford is done.  It will probably be worded similarly to Payne’s exit at Louisville about a “mutual agreement.”  Translation = he’s fired and we paid a buyout.

The most SLU thing ever would be a Cinderella run to the conference tourney finals - in which we lose in triple overtime in heart-breaking fashion. We don't get the Tourney bid, but "the little engine that could" narrative wins over just enough boosters to save his job for one more year. 😄

Does Chris May see how easy it is to just say something generic and put everything to rest? Why does this take him so long every time. Now we wait a day or two and move on. And he basically said he's fired.

It’s not over yet.

I don't think Ford has lost the locker room.  I would say let the kids finish out the season with the coach.  Once season is over, make the change.  Another 2-3 days is not going to change anything as far as setting up committee/consultants to go through candidates for the next coach.  Everyone but Mack & Holtman out there are still coaching anyway.

This quote is May telling everyone it’s going to happen. “The coaching change”

Exactly. I’d be interested in hearing the actual audio from May’s quote, as I’ve generally assumed his silence on men’s basketball is related to him being bitter over boosters forcing out what he viewed as his prized hire, so I read that quote as him being angry about having to talk about it.
