After listening to that press conf., I would be reluctant to say B.M. is a done deal.
As for Korn, he has a lot of D1 experience as an assistant. KState made the Elite 8 last year and could easily do it again as Big 12 Champs. Projected 4 seed.
Lowery? No way that's going to happen.
We are pretty sure it is Mullins
Have we ruled out Jay Herkelman? (Kill always got good people out of Coffeyville Community College)...
I could be wrong, but Brad Korn feels like it could be Lowery part 2. Nobody wants that.
K states success has more to do with Bruce Weber than anyone on the bench, imho.
Money quote from Coach Kill (with a sly grin)
"Last year...I told Barry, I would take the US$350,000 and get the hell out of here."
History repeats itself, first as tragedy, second as farce.

I like Chris and I am happy for their success at KSU. But if Coach Kill brought Chris back the opposite of what he hopes to accomplish with the fan base would occur. That in itself is reason enough that it won't happen.
Interesting
COLLEGE MEN’S BASKETBALL: Harris out as SIUE coach; Simmons interested in job
nothing to do with us but still interresting
We are pretty sure it is Mullins
😱. If it is anyone else you will have to be talked off the ledge.
Depends on who it is. Shit nevermind you are probably right
unless it was Thad Matta 😎
Ok this is kind of funny
e. “Kill is also reportedly washing the athletic department’s hands of the Saluki message board who’ve caused problems bringing How C-Low Will We C-Go and Hinson 4 Governor signs over the years. I just hope we’ll have people watching out for and confiscating inappropriate signs like against SLU in 2011. Great things abound in Carbondale.”
So if kill wants a coach by next week. Does that mean they have to be unemployed at this point. Or can you talk to coaches still on teams?
Yes, you can with the permission of the school.

You know where Kill can stick it. Jerry could use some public speaking courses too. My god.
Speaks volumes that the special advisor to the chancellor thinks so little of Southern Illinois University that he suggests to the basketball coach that he should take our money and get the hell out of town. Stay classy. Probably told him to sue us too.
Craving a McBride Special!
While Coach Kill is not the most polished speaker, I must say it was great hearing the qualities he is looking for in a coach. 1. Good fit (Midwestern guy). 2. A disciplined team. 3. Toughness. Sounds to me like he wants a return to Floor Burn U. I am also pleased to hear he plans on running the athletic department like a Division 1 school. Going on the cheap would devastate this program right now.
Bring back FLOOR BURN U !!
