This does not look good for getting rid of Barry after this year...

Mods I didn't know where to put this so if it needs to be moved feel free.

I think a lot of people saw this coming when the brought Jerry Kill back, but I was still a bit shocked.

This is what happens when you cross a certain booster.    The Clown show continues. Unbelievable

Always thought Kill would be an AD but not this soon

This school is a joke, as both an alum and someone who grew up in southern Illinois it's amazing how little pride I now feel for this university.  At this point I basically rejoined the new forum just so I could talk Cardinals with the old guard but SIU athletics certainly wasn't a selling point

I think Kill is a great hire for SIU Athletics as a whole.  He’s a competive guy that loves the university and wants to win.  I of course worry about the basketball program and the connections he may have there that could hinder any growth going forward.  Hope I’m wrong because I really like Jerry.

Might be firing the wrong people but at least they acknowledge something is wrong and change is needed.

total bs. Tommy is the one person that knew what needed to be done. I will not renew my tickets and will stop my monthly donation immediately.

Jerry Kill is a winner. Jerry Kill knows how to recruit people. What got better under Tommy Bell?

The fact that he wanted Hinsonto stay gives me a lot of pause in praising this hire. I hope it works out.

I really like Kill, but I think he might be in the back pocket of those who are really making the decisions for SIU; you know, the ones who seem to be gleefully leading SIU straight down the toilet.

The mob are setting themselves up a nice little good ol' boys club where they can pat themselves on the back and laugh all the way to the bank until SIU is sucked completely dry.

I want so badly to be wrong, I just don't think Kill will have the freedom to do much of anything with men's basketball.
