Bizziken Posted March 14 Share Posted March 14 I think Schertz would be a great hire. My concern is that there is a nonzero chance Indiana State makes some noise in either the NIT or NCAA Tournament and a Power program enters the picture.

I often joke and make fun but I have laid out logical reasons for May to be gone. Was the market value for Travis Ford $2.4 mil/season 8 years ago? I've posted on this board numerous times just how out of whack with the rest of the conference that salary was especially for a coach with 19 years (at the time) of history with only 1 tournament win. That salary was $400K higher than the next highest paid coach and nearly $1mil more than the average in the conference. Then after only 1 NCAA appearance Ford was extended for how long? Too long. We're extremely lucky to have generous, involved boosters willing to pay such an exorbitant buyout ($10mil) or we'd be stuck with Travis Ford and continue losing for years. That is an egregious error. One you should be fired for committing. Not to mention horrible marketing. Terrible handling of the media. Bad fan engagement. Bad handling of compliance. Zero ability to understand the changing landscape of NCAA sports (NIL, conference re-alignment). Bad policies in our NIL collective. Is any of the above personal to constitute 'hate'? No these are all reasons. Maybe you don't agree that's fine. If you don't agree you probably fit into one of two camps. Camp A: Those who enjoy having their a$$es kissed by May or Camp B: Those that just don't pay that much attention to college sports.

Old guy Posted March 14 Share Posted March 14 36 minutes ago, SLUMedBilliken15 said: I suggest SLU spend its money on research, specifically cloning research. Then find some of Majerus' DNA. Then clone him. Then when the clone is old enough to coach, SLU will once again be good! Nope, there are features and characteristics of a person that are transmitted via genes. A lot of what makes a person is not genetically transmitted, it is learned. I do not see basketball knowledge and coaching knowledge can be transmitted by cloning the genes. These kinds of knowledge have to be learned. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bomble Posted March 14 Share Posted March 14 1 hour ago, gobillsgo said: I’m backkkkk. not to kick a guy while he’s down or anything, but Ford lost the title of “good guy” for me this year, between the “nothing better to do” comments, constant whining and excuse making, and son’s burner account. Genuine thanks to him for raising the talent level over our D2 level Crews teams, but this was long past due Co-sign. Though I appreciate him helping Humphrey's.

Chris May should only be judged on one thing, that’s mbb. Crews, now Ford….he has gotta go. The contract he gave Ford alone should get him fired. Can you imagine at a school like ND having their football team in the gutter for almost a decade and donors/fans defending AD bc women’s soccer was doing great or softball is winning or hell even mbb at that school? That AD would be long gone. Not at SLU. If Chris May took half of that buyout money and instead was able to put towards a stadium for baseball, can you imagine how nice and deserving that would be for baseball? He’s so bad it’s not even funny. How he keeps getting free pass, after free pass is why I am afraid place won’t change regardless of who is new mbb coach. Have to have a change at the top.

Spoon-Balls Posted March 14 Share Posted March 14 I'm sure most here would LOVE to have Chris May's job security. End of an era. Feels like the program is right back to where good ol' Jimmy Crews left it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
