Never cared less about SIU basketball. Hire whoever you want. It’ll be Smithpeters tho, it’s not a real search. The whole thing is a sham. Leonard is a puppet. Imagine being that big of a loser, hired to do a job and you’re literally just a little puppet man. Haha.

If you "hate it here" why are you still posting?

If people thought the Mullins dismissal press release read awkwardly, wait until the Smithpeters press release if he does end up being the guy:

"Smithpeters then moved on to Missouri, where as an assistant coach, he helped lead the program to an 0-18 SEC record in 2023-24."

Maybe they'll leave that paragraph out. 😆

Where else should I vent about the stupidity of the team I love so much. What a joke. We are going to be so bad for the foreseeable future. Some of you “but this and that” after wins are gonna love the losing that’s about to ensue.

Why are you so upset? I understand you probably like Bryan - I do too - but did you really see him getting us into the NCAAs? Because that is the goal of this program - not 3rd-5th place Valley finishes.

Dude, you seriously need a valium. We have no idea who SIU is going to hire. Almost all, if not all the coaches being considered can't even be contacted because their season isn't over. Leonard handled the press conference about as well as he possibly could. In my view he said all the right things and appears to be going about the search in the right way, looking for the right qualities. Just because he has a short list, as all good AD's should in case of this circumstance, doesn't mean the choice has been made or even predetermined. There are many moving parts that haven't even begun the process. Before this is all said and done, there will be input from the Chancellor, President, Board, Donors, AD, etc. Either chill and let the process play out or as John Belushi said "my advice to you is to start drinking heavily".

The coach has been predetermined before Bryan was ever told he was fired.

@obd Howard would be the most logical choice in terms of player retention and not going through a full rebuild.

They could give him a three year deal and April 2027 drop him back down to old position (all as part of the hiring agreement).  If he turns things around, he'd be in a good position to renegotiate in Feb 2027 to continue on and we have time to hire the right guy.

For the record, here are our conference finishes in the past 5 years:

5th

9th

6th

3rd

6th

And as, or more, concerning is the fact that we have won a total of TWO games in the Conference tournaments in the last 5 years.

Oh no! How will we ever recover? 5 wins total next year here we come :(... I just hope whenever we start winning and winning big again some of these people who are "done" with the program will come back and support the team as they should

I was going to propose other methods of doing better at Arch Madness. Maybe stay at a different hotel? Get up there a day earlier? 

Maybe the next coach will have a different idea.

He will be hoping he is coaching against the likes of Rend Lake and SIC! But hey, even 1 conference win will be a 100% improvement from his former team!

Real mature answer on your part.
