Texas hired a NBA exec to be AD (anticipating the changes in collegiate athletics), Steve Patterson formerly of Trailblazers and he bombed. He just didn't have the right personality to deal with couldn't athletics. But I like the idea this guy is sought out for his input. Quote
slufan13 Posted March 11 Posted March 11 I think as long as we have a coach working the portal and NIL within the next 2 weeks, we are good. Anything beyond that is our administration not understanding the current environment. But the ideal situation is to fire Ford today. Hire Schertz Sunday evening when ISU gets snubbed and then start selling the Avila SLU jerseys a week from today. Slu let the dogs out? 1 Quote

His buyout if he takes another job is $6 million until April 1. It then drops. Not sure how much. Can you imagine how bad it would be if SLU/Ford have similar language and we are forced to hold onto Ford until April 1st? Quote

The portal opens on Monday, and any illusion that he will be here next season will only hurt SLU’s efforts to attract players here. The new coach might still be working, but a handshake deal needs to be in place sooner rather than later. Quote

The question is whether the administration/boosters/decision makers know that. There hasn't been a great display of understanding the current situation over the past few years. johnbj14 1 Quote

Hire Schertz Sunday evening when ISU gets snubbed and then start selling the Avila SLU jerseys a week from today. A Schertz hire would be fantastic. Looking for a new side hustle so if we end up hiring him, PM me if you're interested in going in on a new Schertz clothing line with me. Schertz shirts and shorts for the portly fella. Anyone have an elastic guy? Avila would be a home run get too although there will be a lot of competition for him this offseason. I wouldn't bank on him following Schertz should he depart. Schertz appears to be a more realistic hire but Mack is still my top choice for head coach. However other than Trilly's tweet a few weeks back there has been nothing to suggest Mack has any interest in the job. Soderball 1 Quote

I’m sure OU could be willing to waive the buyout if they are ready to move on. It does them no good to wait either. That’s what the lawyers and agents will figure out. He’s 0-6 vs Texas and may miss the tournament for the 3rd straight year, chances are likely OU is ready to make a change. TheA_Bomb 1 Quote

This doesn’t surprise me, I always thought Moser is a great mid major coach but his style and recruits wouldn’t match the current P5 need, especially moreso in light of NIL. Quote

DeSmetBilliken Posted March 11 Posted March 11 Until the time comes when Ford is fired, I’m going to be annoyed because I view every hour that Chris May doesn’t have to officially fire Ford as a win for May, who I don’t like. With that said, once it’s done and if we replace Ford with a good coach, I’ll likely quickly forget about the fact that May delayed the announcement for a few days. slufan13, gabriel and Soderball 3 Quote

Oklahoma gave him the bag! I love the guy but this will be a buyout/parting of ways situation in no more than 2 years. Guy is already 0-6 against Texas and is coming into a very good SEC conference. His seat is staying warm. Quote

billiken class of 15 Posted March 12 Posted March 12 Any word on Pat Kelsey? He was a big name last year but haven't heard a thing about him at all this year. Charleston isn't as good this year as they were last year but he's still a heck of a coach. Not necessarily for us, but surely someone could be interested, right? Quote

The prevailing sentiment on him is that he’s most likely waiting for Xavier to open up at some point. He’s also a bit of an acquired taste personality wise, and spurning UMass at the last second like he did has made AD’s wary of him. brianstl 1 Quote
