Bill Scholl New AD

[Lennys Tap]

What is a no brainer with this hire, just like the LW hire is that MU is going to win a certain way.  If the Wojo

Buzz couldn't handle that way of winning, so he got the AD canned when it should have been the AD getting Buzz canned.  Ultimately, justice prevailed.

Pilarz is reading poetry with 15 year old pimple faced boys in DC. LW, fired after the shortest AD tenure in MU history, is out of the AD business and is currently a "consultant" (code for looking for work). Buzz is still coaching D1 basketball, making 2.7 million per with a better contract than the one he left behind.

Scott and Larry sure showed Buzz. LOL.

[Blackhat]

As long as he doesn't act like he's been hit in the head a few too many times like LW, I'm okay with this guy.

seems like the same people supporting BS supported LW.    For all of us, I hope they are right this time.
For right now I agree....


Give (ND) peace a chance folks.

[keefe]

Also, how tall is he without shoes? We need answers.

More importantly, is he a Sperry Topsider man?

President Lovell is into accumulating university wealth with this hire.

What is a no brainer with this hire, just like the LW hire is that MU is going to win a certain way.  If the Wojo hire didn't send off major signal to that cause, I don't know what does.

Many ways to skin the cat on winning, and that's going to rub a lot of people here the wrong way.

Buzz couldn't handle that way of winning, so he got the AD canned when it should have been the AD getting Buzz canned.  Ultimately, justice prevailed.


With the new pres, with Wojo and this hire (similar to LW), we're going to keep on winning but we're going to win in a different way.  Let the screaming begin.

Lol...because Shaka, Cuonzo and Ben fit that "Bill".  You don't give your ex-boss any credit for hiring the best basketball coach available.  That was the MU profile not your silly storyline.  Otherwise Bill Carmody would have been on the interview list...and MU would be sniffing DePaul's rare air.

How many of those truly were happening........or even in play.........

All were interviewed formally, two more deeply. Why waste time or have your name associated with them if not?  

[GGGG]

I agree with my old friend Lenny.   I'm sure Scholl is a great guy, competent in all respects.    Nonetheless, my preference is that MU not try too hard to emulate ND.  Felt that way when Williams was hired--how'd that work out? 

LW's problems at MU weren't because he was a Domer.

[ChicosBailBonds]

To my understanding, two were offered the job.  We can debate ad nauseum how much true interest there was at the end of the interviews.  Lots of people get interviewed in jobs, it's who you want at the end that determines if one is in play or desired....not every guy that ends up describing his resume is in play, regardless if they were interviewed formally.

Maybe your sources are different....of course, if they are, you should have known about Mayo a few months back.

I give my ex boss plenty of credit.  Part of it is fit, where the university is going, etc.  Let's just say of the guys that were "formally interviewed", the one that got the job is the one that fits where we are going best.  Maybe that is a coincidence, but I think you'll find that isn't going to be the case.

For Lenny, I would dream to have our athletic department be called the little brother to Notre Dame's, that would be an upgrade.  If we can get there, where we are winning national championships in other sports, competing at high levels in just about every single one of them, we will have come a long way.

[4everwarriors]

That must have been a very strong donor.  Kind of a dick move to get the AD fired and all. 



I'm done for the day.

I see what you did there.

[Texas Western]

President Lovell is into accumulating university wealth with this hire.

Yes that is the key takeaway. Mr. Scholl s primary job is to raise money. We need funds to compete with Power 5. We need a fieldhouse so Olympic sports can train in bad weather. Success in sports aids general fund raising. Glad we have him. We have plenty of good people in athletic department that can keep the trains running on time.

[GGGG]

" A source within the administration confirmed to Paint Touches earlier in the year that Williams was fired in part to please a prominent donor who thought Larry did not appreciate Buzz enough."

Boom. Dropping bombs! Finally!

There were people on this board (such as me) who were pretty much saying the same thing.

[brandx]

Not thrilled about the ND connection for the simple fact he probably hated MU at some point, especially since he was at ND as a student in the late 70's. Now I don't doubt he'll do his best to lead MU's athletics, but of all the schools in all the land why did we have to hire a Domer?

ND hates Michigan and USC. MU isn't quite on that level of hate.

[Texas Western]

ND hates Michigan and USC. MU isn't quite on that level of hate.

Agreed. ND only hates schools it is envious of.   They believe they are far superior to MU and feel we are lucky to even be able to schedule a game with them.

These types of threads are classic Chicos, he comes in trying to pretend to be a know it all.  Grabs bits and pieces from other people and calls it his own, mean while talking out of both sides of his mouth.  Smh

Robbie....nothing contradictory there.  Unlike your comment the other day that the Big Ten didn't take Prop 48 kids...you were dead wrong.  Or your comments on Mayo...you were dead wrong.

But hey Robbie, keep it going...always fun.  How are the cattle?

Nah

ND doesn't like Michigan because the two of them vie for the all time best winning % in college football

For SC, it has to do with national championships in football.

Chili??

So, let me get this right...your ex boss...who we all love, is deeply interviewing coaches that don't even come close to fitting your straw man profile?  So, you are saying essentially, Cords is a fake?  Cuonza and/or Shaka = Wojo?  You do realize both are dirtier than Buzz, right?  

Btw, LW was a complete wash out...did some things right, ran a mess of a department well in the red (or on the way).  Buzz was no better, for the record.  

[real chili 83]

Long day on the road in Denver.  Then I get to read this BS....

Lets not kiss his ring because he's a Domer.  His poop smells too.  Remember, he comes from the athletic department that has botched  several sexual assaults in a HUGE way, the Manti whatever fiasco (god, they looked liked idiots covering for that moron), and the recent cheating scandal.  

Dick Rosenthal is the guy who brought all the money to ND with TV deals back in the 80's.  He was a neighbor, and a good guy.  He also gave that slobbering idiot, Lou Holtz. a pass after Holtz had his prints all over a scandal from his days at Minnesota.

Yes, ND's poop does stink.

BS, I'll be on campus in a couple of weeks.  PM me if you want to go for bowl of chili.  We can talk dirty ankles and stuff

The world is right and I can rest easy.  Safe travels.

LOL.  Nope, but I do like your straw man while accusing me of one....that's rich.  


Cuonzo and Shaka....no idea.  Don't know them, don't know anyone that knows them closely, but that's the difference.

No one said LW was some kind of stud AD.  What I object to is that he did his job and tried to contain someone that needed to be reminded about a few things, and for that the pant pissers here got upset.  In the end, he was exactly correct in his concerns.  But, in this world there is always a school somewhere that will hire a coach if they win enough and look past some things, but for some people like Lenny that is proof of something....I don't know what, but he seems to like it.  I'd remind him that Pat Kennedy got hired multiple places...Bruce Pearl...Todd Bozeman...Quin Snyder...Larry Eustachy...Tim Floyd....just to name a few.  Just win baby.  All it takes is one  school....especially one with one NCAA berth in 20+ years.

It would be nice to have someone with a bit of intellectual capacity.  I may be asking too much...

Bill Cords did fine with zero intellectual capacity... why change?
