May is from Peoria, he's an Indiana graduate but been coaching in FL a while. He'll listen to both and get paid. IU should've canned Woodson and locked him up. 100%. I guess there is still time for IU to renege. Saw IU recently lost a 5 star recruit who asked to be released from his LOI. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't care about hiring the biggest name we can get. We need to hire the right guy to coach this program right now. The college basketball world is completely different than it was even 2 years ago. Its largely why I'm not big on keeping Ford through the A10T. Fire him and hire the next guy asap.

And too many people on here/Twitter act like it doesn't matter when you fire Ford if your next coach is still coaching. You can come to a verbal agreement with him any time. It happens all the time at proactive schools. Get Ford out of the way and focus solely on the next move. Hell it even lets Ford focus solely on his next move which SLU should encourage considering if he gets another job, that reduces the buyout. wgstl likes this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brianstl Posted March 11 Author Share Posted March 11 If Moser ends up being the guy, this could drag out for a long time. His buyout if he takes another job is $6 million until April 1. It then drops. Not sure how much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also that a verbal agreement with the new coach has already been made? I definitely think that is possible. I 99% believe Ford already has been told his fate. As far as SLU goes, I'm not sure they're as close to a candidate as they should be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They probably wouldn't mind him moving on but don't really want to pay so would let him go without making anyone pay a buyout Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barring a first round Big 12 exit they are in the tournament. No need to force the change now before you get you're new AD unless someone is willing to pay for Moser's replacement.

As far as SLU goes, I'm not sure they're as close to a candidate as they should be. Based on Ford's body language Saturday, I agree. He sat for half of the game, seemingly passing coaching duties onto Harry who was up and yelling (coaching) the players on numerous occasions. Those that have watched Ford on the sidelines more closely than I the past 8 years would know better, but I've never seen that happen before Saturday's game. I also think he fully expected to lose that game and his job on Saturday. But as of 11:30am central standard time he is still our coach Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CenHudDude Posted March 11 Share Posted March 11 All I know for sure is that waiting for this announcement has made this a totally unproductive Monday for Billikens fans. I have to move on now and get some things done. DeSmetBilliken and laker119 like this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trust the process and the end objective, and try to focus less on Twitter-driven rumors specifically regarding announcement timelines.

Popular Post Pistol Posted March 11 Popular Post Share Posted March 11 I'd have an easier time trusting the process if we had a different AD in charge, if there weren't a cone of silence over everything at all times, and if getting this hire correct weren't so crucial to the survival of this program. I hope the end result that satisfies the most people also aligns with the best possible coach for this job. The latter is the most important thing.

To really make everything click need a new AD. Think about what you know from the inside. How could it go smoother if someone dynamic were there to influence all the key players, provide correct market salary information, provide inside information on competitors for the coach, get the collective ready? Could be better. That's needed these days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
