Not speaking for anyone, but as a man of a certain age myself, I can understand a little skepticism IF it is based on the Lowery tremendous recruiting class that ultimately backfired.
I get it if you feel that way.
This guy is used to going after McDonald’s All-Americans. I think he will handle getting us good players, at whatever level, pretty well.
Maybe not. But it will be fun to find out.

They’re the ones that can get us where we haven’t been in 15 years.
I don’t think anybody thinks this is a miracle hire.
I think this is a change in direction that nobody expected. I can not think of a better hire in the portal age. I want nothing more than Bryan to win big. I think he needed to swallow his ego a bit and make this hire.
From Barkeep 1967 (a few days ago):
"We have learned that Southern Illinois University is closing in on the hiring of Jerrance Howard for the open assistant position. We do not know details as of yet. Check Saluki-Insider.com for further updates. Should be announced as soon as tomorrow. This is an amazing hire.
I think this is my favorite post ever"
Well done Barkeep:
I believe this is "Suitable For Framing"

thank you my friend
Jerrance Howard is the real deal guys, not only does he have excellent connections in the US but also has the international beat covered. Watch out MVC, he can recruit all over the world, period.
Honestly, I never heard of Jerrance Howard, but he has had some big time positions and has a reputation as a good recruiter. I also don't really know what all goes into recruiting, but I would think it has something to do with the school, the tradition, the reputation, the likability of the coaches, the facilities, the schedule, etc. Not sure how much it has to do with knowing a HS coach or other connections, but I really don't know. Sounds like a good hire, but we'll just have to wait and see if he can bring in some serious talent for the Dawgs. Sure hope so and hope he hits the ground running.
Part 2 is - can we get a decent offense and coach up our bigs?
I believe Sam Weaver was the Asst. Coach who catapulted Rich Herrin’s success. Marcus Timmons, Chris Carr and others.
Southern Missouri was Weavers home and he had a lot of connections.
Don't get the complaining really. This is way better than anything I was expecting for the 3rd assistant job. Yes, expectations should be kept in check, SIU isn't going to bring in 4 and 5 stars because Howard is here but this is a guy that's worked with Bruce Weber, Larry Brown, Bill Self, and Chris Beard.

Absolutely. I didn’t even know this type of hire was possible at modern day SIU.
I love that they were even willing to make this move. And it means they want Bryan to succeed, also good.

I personally am not complaining I applaud the hire anything to hopefully put the DAWGS in the dance and end the dry spell so call me cautiously optimistic
I haven’t read a single post where anyone is complaining except for a few posts that are complaining about people complaining. I really don’t know what you guys are seeing that looks like there is anyone that isn’t excited by this hire.
For those of you who still have a slight doubt. I spoke with person of authority in the athletic department this morning. There is no doubt. Jerrance begins work Monday.
Welcome coach Howard

Who the hell is complaining? I haven't seen anything but good feelings about this hire. I live 10 1/2 miles (1/2 mile of river) from Missouri so that Show-me stuff rubs off. I will always be wait and see cuz I prefer reality to illusions, but it's always good to dream, especially if they come true.
(Some folks on here may have eaten a bluebird for breakfast IMO! 🙂)
Go Coach Howard! Go Dawgs! Get some good players in here!
Nobody is that i know of. You'll have to ask Bleacher Bum, he is the one going off on rants about people supposedly complaining about the hire. I have no idea what the hell he is talking about, but he sure is worked up over something. lolI haven’t read a single post where anyone is complaining except for a few posts that are complaining about people complaining.
