On to Tuesday.  Lol. That contract must be a bear to finalize. 

It is going to be fun when we can talk about this in real life with real people. 😉

It really is odd that it’s taking this long for a press release but I’m sure there’s been a lot of phone calls being made. The man is walking around on campus. It’s certainly no secret anymore. Could be as small as the graphics student worker had too much class today. Lol

If it wasn't for Barkeep essentially staking his well deserved reputation on this, I would be worried.  Still though, I find it very odd that nothing has been announced.  Can he even officially recruit if he is not yet hired?   I hope the fact that we haven't signed anyone yet likens to the big bull - little bull story.  If anyone needs a refresher on that, let me know.   : )

I do think it’s possible that they’re going to drop multiple good news releases on us in the same day. Yes there’s zero reason to be concerned. He’s on campus. No doubt about it. But it certainly wouldn’t hurt to give the fan base a boost.

Just because there has been no official announcement doesn't necessarily mean he's not already on the payroll. I'm not implying that I know anything because I don't.

I don't know how fast SIU People Finder updates but he's not listed at all

I will say, HR is INCREDIBLY slow at SIU. So I wouldn’t be surprised if they’re waiting on that official paperwork to go through before they announce. 

Seriously, so slow. Cannot stress that enough. It’s bad. Ha.

I have sent a few messages trying to get an announcement time frame. At this rate maybe Bobber will break the news with his interview 😊

I don’t think I am going out on a limb when I say we might be here again with nothing tomorrow night. 

I hate to keep complaining, but this is irritating, at this point. 

I am VERY interested in what we pay him.  I am gonna guess at least a quarter million a year, at the worst.

Judging from the comments on this board, I presume it is normal protocol for the university to make a public announcement every time an assist coach in some sport is hired.  Is that correct?

I think any coach hire would be announced on social media but Howard is a bit more higher profile to the point where it might get some national attention.  He's also not listed on the SIU roster which was updated about a week ago.

I don’t care about an announcement from SIU.  I just want to see his mug shot and bio along with Mullins, Mullins and Mamon on the website. 

This is not a typical softball team or soccer team or baseball team hiring some random assistant coach. 

On the other hand, the university may not want to promote what is basically a last resort hire to save BM when it will likely cost way more than our usual coaching money allotment. 

This just feels strange.
