Yes, I get that.
But it means one of two things: a couple of dismal years--which are just miserable for building fan support--while the new guy builds a program, and then POOF! Or a magical first or second year and then POOF! And back to square one in both cases, without a chance of building anything.
But yeah: such is the nature of things these days.

That is my point also. If Mullins takes longer to get there it is okay because he wants to be at SIU. I don’t buy the “was going to take an assistant job at OSU”.
I don't buy it either: that rumor has nothing that tracks with the personality of Bryan Mullins.

After thinking about it a bit, if SIU does indeed hire Kyle and he retains Howard, potentially as associate HC, you do have a couple of guys who certainly know what serious talent looks like.
If he/they bring that talent to Carbondale, I guess the question becomes what can they do with it?
Ugh.. I really wish I had more faith in SIU getting this right.

The low class dumping of Brtan is as popular as a turd in a punchbowl. This was really stupid. Luve from MVC tournament.
The advancement and diffusion of knowledge is the only guardian of true liberty.

do you guys honestly believe we would not have know about that ? It’s bs we never heard a peep.
we beat Goodman by a good 3 minutes today 😊
I can't see Kyle being a solution he has very little D1 experience Missouri took a major step back this year and he had a cup of coffee at MOST with Lusk and as far as recruiting and winning at the JUCO level that is like major league baseball and triple AAA rules and types of players available are totally different
Actually it’s Kyle not Tyler.
oops
my point still stands. NO NO No
I would be sooooo pissed if they hired either of those guys in place of Mullins.
They need to get some money together and go out and get a real coach.
After listening to the radio interview….if it’s Leonard’s choice, I could see him going after the Towson coach. But money would be the issue here.
Does Leonard get the final say so…..doubt it.
My problem with Howard is, if he has these great connections why did we not sign one player in the fall signing period? I don't buy the argument that he was waiting for the portal to sign players. There should have been someone we could have gotten in the fall.I think that with this search, they are going to stay away from guys who have ties to SIU. And I am not really excited about any former SIU person on that list. That being said, I think that if it's not the guy the Chancellor is pushing, it might be Jerrance Howard. We've always wondered why he decided to come to SIU. Maybe he came here with a wink-wink-nudge-nudge that if Bryan left, he was going to be the heir apparent.
Not a chance in hell it’s Howard.
Hearing it’s Kyle.
what a cluster this is
You’ve heard of the new hire less than 8 hours after it was announced that Mullins would be let go?
Maybe so, but if that’s the case, it’s one of the quickest “searches” in the history of college basketball, and sure didn’t take long for someone to spill the beans.
It might be Smithpeters, but I would be shocked if the decision has been made.
