People need to realize that the new President Announcement was moved up for a reason...
What reason, as there are a few different reasons? In another announcement imminent?
Is this why Ners has been so quiet lately?
I think I'm just gonna go on a 2 day bender and when I get out of my stupor, all will be resolved ;D

Wouldn't the reason be that our basketball coach left somewhat unexpectedly and we need to at least have a president in place before we decide who the new basketball coach will be? I'm not buying that this points to Shaka being our coach.

Yep. Academic hirings normally move glacially and follow a clear schedule. The BOT agreeing to accelerate the process means something big (good?) is in the works.

Yes, that whomever the coach was wanted to know who his boss was going to be.

I agree with that. Not having a Prez was having a negative effect in the process no matter who the candidate is/was.

Obviously, we'll hear nothing today. This is the prez's day to shine. But I have a hunch we may have a new coach tomorrow. However, if nothing tomorrow...then we'll have to sit tight for a few more days. Can't imagine MU would hire someone and have it get lost over the weekend.
Posted this elsewhere.... a couple of things. First, symbolically the president has to come before the basketball coach. Second, IMO this deal was settled on a few weeks back, but the announcement date was moved up to remove the perceived weakness of going to a school without a president. If Buzz was still coach, this announcement would have come 4-6 weeks from now. With this announcement made, the way is clear to announce the new basketball coach. Again, just my opinion, but I predict there will be an announcement in the next 1-2 days.
New President announcement was moved up and agree with Keefe. I am watching for new coach hire soon. That said, if that means Friday I am fine with that if right guy is inked.
Well one reason could be the lack of interest in the job because of the lack of leadership and not knowing who they would be working for.
Does it have anything to do with the April 15th banquet?

This new President also means the Board of Trustees had to meet to approve it. As I said earlier today, draw your own conclusions.

No lack of interest in the job, just the opposite. Moving up President hire is good business and glad it happened early. It paves the way for next big announcement to follow.

Asked this in another thread, but was it true that MU had "blocked out" the time on Wednesday several days ago? In which case, this move was more proactive - it was determined several days ago, when the search first began, that we needed to name the President. Or was the decision to accelerate the timeline from "a Board meeting in April" to today something that literally came about 48 hours ago, as a reaction to negotiations and/or national media criticism? I guess it doesn't "matter" either way, but I'd be curious to know.
Couldn't the president's "day to shine" be the day of his inaugural mass (assuming they still do that since he isn't a Jesuit), rather than the announcement day?

I hope so. Would make sense either way. My hope is this all goes together with Monday's charade - best case. Or that Howland is in the wings - worst case. If worst case is a Wardle-like hire in the wings, I'm upset.

Honestly Howland and Smart are my option 1s. Either or. The only reason I am leaning more towards Smart is just to save face from all the VCU trolling that might happen after.
Both are STRONG options for this program. Both are an upgrade from our previous coach. Howland brings a stable of NBA players to point to, very solid X's and O's, defense oriented and looking to run a bit more in his next program. Smart brings the name du jour of the past 3 years and loves to analyze everything, a vibrant and fresh system (I'll let Sugar talk about some of his issues with it), and has that "wow" name for recruiting that excites recruits which will allow for a quick recovery if we do lose a few of ours.
Let's get something done!

Quiet is good. I'm positive that VCU is chomping at the bit to put this to bed and they just can't. The moratorium on leaks is definitely adding to the suspense.
I just hope when announcement is made MU references the hire as an impact hire for university and the program:)
So impact hire = Smart, Howland or Marshall I wouild assume.
Guys, look at actions not words.
As been noted before, everything is happening very fast. From Brent's departure, to the "leaks", to the assistants being cut loose, to the total silence everywhere, to the announcement today, etc.
I don't think that chaos theory is applicable here.

Everyone is forgetting that an AD is needed. That is the catalyst in the whole deal and who the Coach will work with the most. You people are all waiting for a quick deal. It's not going to happen soon, unless an AD is picked up soon.

Coaches don't work for AD's, ADs work for coaches. ADs also don't hire coaches, university Presidents do.
I assume the AD is going to take a while considering that Cords is staying through next spring.

True. ADs are often doing work behind the scenes (and an interim AD, especially one with experience, is fine for that), but
nothing gets done without the President and the BOT.

Conspiracy theory - Is Goodman's quote simply missing brackets:
"more important [to him] than an AD"
or is it a direct quote and the coach he asked is talking about a "him", as in specific candidate?

MU has an AD, albeit on an interim basis. I would guess there's almost zero chance the AD's office gets filled before the head coaching position.
So could the bball coach also be an AD?

LOL Wet hot American Summer.
But im sure Vander Blue Man Group already knew that.
For What it is worth Leever, I happen to be one of the highest rated special educators in the entire district, so yea.
O yea School just ended, off to teach another two hours at Case HS, where I was selected from a large pool of candidates to teach a Racine Unified Pilot program. But yea Leever I must really suck cause I did not know what Ron Paul looked like.

Marquette was heading down that path like a freight train. We are fortunate Bill Cords returned with his standards and integrity fully intact. The man is a treasure.
I worked for Bill for five years, very well aware.
This idea that academic standards automatically = defeat is sad in so many ways. I think some folks here believe MU was requiring a 4.0 GPA and 2200 on the SAT. Hardly.

Now if you don't mind, I have some unfinished business to attend to.

Dude, you're not doing yourself any favors by getting so defensive. At any rate, congrats on the Pilot Program!

KW's just trying to send a message to our new coach.
MU needs to be more defensive.
Kenosha has to be the most entertaining guy here. There's an SNL skit in there somewhere.
P.S. Kenosha SNL = Saturday Night Live. It a comedic sketch show that's been on TV for 30-some years.

Actually, it was Fond du Lac, not Kenosha. But it probably would played the same if set in Kenosha.
If you guys force KW into hiding I hope you all burn in hell!!!
I think Kenosha is hilarious - unintentionally.
One of the greatest educators of our time - just ask him.
Same guy who doesn't have time for spell check or punctuation.
Same guy who in another thread this week made a joke (I think it was a joke) about his drug use.
Students love him because he speaks their language as I recall.
At least he correctly identified Ron Paul as a "dude".
Peace!

Why not "The Dude" or "El Duderino"

The BOT agreeing to accelerate the process means something big (good?) is in the works.
My guess is they're closing Wisconsin Avenue.

Quiet is good. I'm positive that VCU is chomping at the bit to put this to bed and they just can't. The moratorium on leaks is definitely adding to the suspense.
So what is VCU chomping at the bit about? If they know Smart is staying, they would announce. If Smart has told them he is leaving, do you really believe that VCU would not be making an announcement and searching.
Either case, they could give less of a damn about MU's timetable!

Guys, guys, guys.
I don't think there are Shaka to MU rumors other than on this board. I bet outside this board, and certainly outside Milwaukee/Wisconsin, everyone who has recently heard "Shaka to MU" also heard that it was a prank by some students and thus blew it off.
There was wild speculation, national speculation, about Shaka to Minnesota, UCLA, and Illinois. This national coverage has been completely missing in "Shaka to MU" because they heard that it was a big Twitter hoax.

So if they were just students pulling a prank, who were they, and why all the pre-mature ejaculation? And How did IWB get hoaxed?

No no no. I'm not saying that it actually was a hoax. I believe IWB, BigDaddy et al. I think they had legit information. The thing is, people outside the media heard two things: "Shaka to MU" and "Local Milwaukee TV outlets fall for journalism students' prank of a false coaching announcement." I think the media connects these two dots, when, in reality, these dots aren't exactly 100% related to each other.
In other words, the outside world thinks IWB was either in on the hoax or he himself was duped. I (we Scoopers) don't believe either of these things because I'm on this board and I know his reputation.

Because he is not a journalist (and wanted to be FIRST). Which is the same that can be said about our local TV sportscasters.
OK, so it was all BS.

I didn't say that. He had some legitimate information - but did not have the confirmation needed to say "Done Deal".
And without that, none of the other outlets reporting it as done would have happened.

For this fan all three are different levels of impact, but yes all impact. Probably one or two others as well.
Please tell me one or two others does not = Webber and Martin

Us hiring keno Davis ain't going to make creighton any more relevant. Let it go and focus your attention on finding the next Kyle Korver.
Let's relax and respect the process.
