If this new guy doesn't win us a national championship by mid-December then it's a failure.
my god. Straight up shockernet.

Stop pissing on the rest of us who are trying to enjoy the day.
If your post starts off 'good hire, BUT' you should just delete it.

Back to the party with Insiders that are excited that we made a bold move.
Looks like we're not going to get an announcement today?

i don’t think there’s anyone that isn’t excited by this, but there are some of us who are being a bit more realistic in our expectations and aren’t just blindly blowing maroon sunshine out out a**es lol

If you want to see morons losing their sh*t, go look at some of the comments on Mike Reis posts on facebook, and some of the saluki fan pages on facebook, there are some legit a**turds on there that are totally insane.

he was here today everything is signed and done . He begins work Monday. I’m sure you will hear soon
Yeah, I hate to rain on this parade, but I’m not sure an assistant coach is going to be the game changer some of you are acting like.
Also, if you read some of the message boards for tidbits about Howard, you’ll see they’re not all quite as glowing as this one. There are quite a few comments that the one thing he’s been known for — recruiting — has been overstated, and that he doesn’t bring much in the way of actual coaching. It doesn’t sound like he’s going to be the savior of the offense we desperately need.
I’m on board with the hire and I’m glad SIU seems to have made an increased commitment to the coaching staff, but I’ll wait and see what he brings to recruiting before joining the celebration.
Wow I am more interested in is the free 80 degree day to go to the spillway? What i wouldn't do for one more summer in Carbondale!
Are we going to be getting Joel Embiid and Andrew Wiggins? No, no we won’t.
But this dude is very well connected (still). He’s been doing a long time at the highest level.
I’m just excited that we made this type of move. I’m not shouting over the mountain tops that is going to pan out perfectly but I’m cautiously optimistic that this will get us talking to some players that we previously might not have had the opportunity to talk to. It’s a good day to be a Dawg.

Does anybody remember the assistant coach that started the turn around of the Rich Herrin program. Brought in Freddie McSwain and Tony Harvey in his first year. Bobby McCullum got that era rolling. Assistant coach that can recruit matters.
facebook is a whole different level of stupidity, i frequently limit or remove people from the facebook bball group. there is expressing an opinion and then there is just being flat out detrimental to the purpose of the group and fan base imo. also im never in a good mood if im on facebook anywayNot directed at all here but it almost feels like I stumbled on Shockernet.

we used to have to kill a lot until people figured out how far we would let go.
unfortunately im not that consistent and usually leave it to other mods, but there are 1100 ppl or so and i did just ban one for negatively commenting about absolutely nothing to do with a post, some people are just stupid. if im stupid and do not make sense it is because i have had way too much to drink and siu lost, luckily i have to cut back so i can probably keep myself in check this yearfacebook is a whole different level of stupidity, i frequently limit or remove people from the facebook bball group. there is expressing an opinion and then there is just being flat out detrimental to the purpose of the group and fan base imo. also im never in a good mood if im on facebook anywayNot directed at all here but it almost feels like I stumbled on Shockernet.

We let post game meltdowns mostly go. Sometimes those actually make me laugh. Personal attacks on posters or players is a giant no no though
Sorry back on topic

This isnt Facebook and I expect more here. Not sure why.
Way too much negativity based on nothing at all.
this is a good hire. Good hires don't always workout and we know that. If it doesn't work it doesn't work.
People need to Stop pre-judging that it might not succeed before the guy is even introduced because of this or that
This is how good communities die. Given that this is the third fan board at SIU in a relatively short time a lot of you should know that.
Every one here wanted some kind of change and that is what we got.
Do you want Monaghan back because this guy took a pay cut to come here?
Or maybe we go get Clancy back instead (nothing against Clancy).
Just asking to stop picking at this guy until we see what happens.
Discussion is good but do we really need to start picking at this guy before day 1.
It's not his fault that we haven't seen post season in 15 years. Sit back and see what he can do.
I don't know if people are overly optimistic or not but I have yet to come across a post here promising 4 ⭐ recruits and titles. Yes, some us are excited but still know the realities.
If he strikes out after a couple of years he will be out with the rest of them.
Some on you need to chill.
