Pilarz to step down

[PuertoRicanNightmare]

Something tells me we may be changing our nickname to the Gold Lamé.

Gotta be more to this story.

The LAX coach is at fault here.  He's recruiting kids who get in trouble with the law.  Can't have that.  And we need administration who is going to keep this university under control.  The  LAX coach is the CEO of his program and thus responsible for his players, and the AD is the CEO of the athletic department and thus responsible for his coaches, and the prez is the CEO of the University and thus responsible for the AD.  Thus, this all traces back to the prez allowing a student-athlete in his athletics program.  Thus he has to go.  Just like Buzz is at fault for the AD being fired.  Or something like that.

He was pissed he didn't know what time MU was playing in the first round of the NCAA's. Too much stress, had to step down.

Jsonline doesn't have comment section with story anymore, at least I'm not seeing it

Basically one woman said something to the effect she knew this was coming and surprised it took this long and a very big story was about to come out.  Take it for what it is worth...just chatter, but nevertheless it was there before JS took it down.  A bunch of responses to that post were speculating on all kinds of fun stuff, that's probably why they were removed.

Someone needs to ring up Coach Tom Crean's cell and find out what's up.

Wow .. the JS did remove the comments from that article.  I wonder why.  I mean .. it's the JS comment section, there's been FAR (times a billion) worse things written in previous stories.

[The Process]

Keefe to run MU?

[4everwarriors]

Remove the teal and we're good.

Buzz to university president.

Pilarz to Pope-In-Waiting.

They often take down comment section if posts are related to race or sexual incidents. Not saying this is the case, but they do delete comments if they get in delicate topic range.

That's bizarre. MU wishes to thank Pilarz for his contribution and dedication? Huh? Wasn't he in town for about 6 months?

Got to be PC in the press release.  "Way to half-ass it and be non-committal.  Scandalous reasons to follow." probably wouldn't be appropriate for a press release.

Fr. Wild .. your table is ready.  Again.

Has to be the first call to serve as the interim, right?  And if an interim is found, why not move on it now?  Having a lame duck for three months will not help anything.

Is it a given that the new prez will be a male or a Jesuit? Just axin'.

They actually just updated the bylaws to allow for a layperson when they hired Pilarz. So no, it doesn't have to be. But I'd assume they'd give Jesuits preference everything else being equal

[jsglow]

I have an idea. How 'bout we stop and simply say a prayer? That's my plan.

[Lennys Tap]

Is he pissed Buzz couldn't reel in Looney?

He told Buzz to "stop comin' round" to Kevon's place. With Plarz out of the picture, Kevon gave MU a verbal today!

Interesting.  I do remember reading an interview with Father Wild where he predicted that MU would have a lay President in the not-so-distant future.  Georgetown has already made the leap.  Agree that preference is to a Jesuit, unless a home run candidate emerges.

I wonder what odds we could have gotten on Buzz outlasting Pilarz. Damn.

[Goose]

Lenny

Long odds, very long odds.

[4everwarriors]

Fr. Pilarz headed to Austin?

Looney not committing to MU was Pilarz's fault because he was unwilling to relocate Marquette out of Milwaukee.
