@saluki-4-life nobody really cares if you’re convinced. Most people just want you to stop posting at this point.

most of me doesn’t care. You’re probably just sick of me because I’m looking more and more correct.
If we hire KS and the people here really think we did a national search idk what to say lol… you guys go ahead and eat it up I guess? I can’t get excited about it.
So if Preston Spradlin turned SIU down, how far has the program fallen?
Even when the buzz was looking favorable for hiring Spradlin, I had a bad feeling, knowing the carousel was about to pop off and things were going to get very competitive for the hotter names.
I think you’re right that SIU is not well-positioned to win battles like this at this point, and it sucks. Doesn’t mean they can’t still hire someone who will do well, but being relatively low on the food chain these days seems to be our reality.
There’s a southern Illinois social media “influencer” (I say that lightly because she’s a wannabe) who is good friends with the Mullins family. She claims his wife found out about his firing via social media. Which makes me assume Mullins went to Lingle, got fired, took a minute to collect his thoughts before going home, but media posted IMMEDIATELY about him being let go. So that’s how his wife found out on socials. Pretty bad look in my opinion. Could’ve given him an hour to tell his family
Ah! The players he is being given credit for recruiting are not even on campus yet. Last year was his first so I don't think he had much to do with recruitment of the current players on the team.I have tried to stay out of the "coach search" madness. And, I have no interest in Kyle Smithpeters either way. However, I admit some puzzlement regrading the frequent references to the 0-18 record at Missou and implying that he somehow was a reason for that record. That is like blaming any shortcomings in SIU's success on Vince Fritz. Especially since Kyle is being given some credit for the great recruiting class they have coming in next year. Apparently there are some legitimate concerns about his becoming the next HC but being a rather low ranking assistant coach in his second year on a team with and 0-18 conference record isn't one of them.
legitimate
So he gets major credit for bringing great players to Mizzou but no responsibility for their performance?
Got it.
And not sure calling him (accurately) a “rather low-ranking assistant coach” is especially confidence-inspiring.
As for the the "low-ranking" comment might have been a bit harsh but the point remains...it is absurd to keep bashing an assistant coach over an SEC team's success or failure.
So...I assume you will continue to blame him for the 0-18 record?
I will continue to count Mizzou’s winless SEC showing in the negative column, yes. He did have a hand in recruiting some of the roster and if your point is that as an assistant coach he has had no influence on the team’s play in practices or games, you’re not making much of a case for why he should be hired.
Also, please show me any other school that has been connected to hiring him this cycle. If there are none, maybe that is an indicator that his resume does not stack up.
I actually don’t think SIU is going to hire KS and am going to leave it there with him, unless anything changes.
well looks like nothing has changed since last night. More of this and that! This lane thing about his guy is not a recent thing. If Bryan was let go last year after 23 W’s and with 2 years left on his contract and Lane’s guy was hired ( whoever that guy is ) there would have been an immediate uproar. So as we all know why he failed the eye test for some of us. With the 2 supposedly remaining candidates. What makes posters here feel it’s an upgrade? If the 2 names mentioned by posters are indeed the finalists?
@saluki-4-life didn’t you think Mullins was going to uic and he would make them 100 times better than Siu lol
@saluki-4-life didn’t you think Mullins was going to uic and he would make them 100 times better than Siu lol
based on what I’m hearing it doesn’t matter who is at UIC or anywhere else… SIU is going to be in the basement of the valley for a very very long time. We are on second rate candidates who have no track record of winning and even they don’t really want to take our job. This program might be finished, guys.
If it is KS….I feel at least some of the fan base will get behind him. He is an SIU alum and I don’t think he is the worst choice. Maybe a lateral move that doesn’t make much sense but the choice to fire Mullins has been made. Time to get just a slimmer of this right.

People on here already had reason to discount everything you say, but if they didn’t already, this post right here should do it. If you hadn’t been on this site for 6 years I’d almost think you’re a fan of another team posting on here to spread disinformation and stir discontent. You need to get a life.

they’re striking out on candidates because of the way Bryan Mullins was handled. They aren’t getting anything right. Now they’re just hoping to fill the position.

I’m sick of our leadership and you should be too. The fact that all of you aren’t is frankly staggering.
Ok, I think it's time to just ignore this guy. He is way past the "Dean SIU" troll stage. The broken record thing has gotten way out of control. If no one responds to him maybe he will just fade away. I know, wishful thinking...@saluki-4-life didn’t you think Mullins was going to uic and he would make them 100 times better than Siu lol

You just make me want to post more, but I’ll refrain until we make our hilarious hire.
