We’re still dealing with Kill’s damage.

- Kill knifed Bell in the back to get the AD job. 
- Kill left like a thief in the night. Whether John Dunn told him to leave like that or he did on his own is really not of consequence.
- The replacement AD he left hired a compliance director under a show cause among other tire fires to the point where the new Chancellor was forced to act.

 

All in all not good for ole’ Jer. 

I believe that about covers it.

I also forgot that SIU wasn’t in the Top 5 for the all sports trophy this year. Again not great. We should at a minimum be challenging ISU for that every year.

Gotta wonder what Lane is looking for.  

The fundraiser thing is obvious and doesn't need to be said but what is at the top of the list.

Experience or youth? 

Pro administrator or a retired coach? 

Someone with a show cause on them or not?  Just kidding. 

Regional ties?

Speaking of Kill, he was in Marion Sunday morning eating breakfast with his wife and I think one of his daughters. Sat next to us. Guessing they came back to spend time at the Lake of Egypt. He looks very bad health wise IMHO.

probably here trying to poach some of our players or more of our coaches, or trying to get his a.d. job back.  get him back to las cruces as quickly as possible.

The AD position may be open still spring. The first search was a complete BUST a terrible pool of applicants. There was only a VERY FEW qualified applicants and SIU chose to do a reset.  Not a good look for Parker and SIU.

I think in the announcement about a search for the new AD and interviews, he had said he didn't have interest in the permanent AD position.

I was told no.  But I guess you never know.

Saluki Athletics | Interim AD Matt Kupec maneuvers SIU through hectic hiring period | Sports | thesouthern.com

Nice article. Sure hope many of those objectives are met, but it is SIU and we've heard about great things before and nothing becomes of it. Wait and see approach.

Sounds like Kupec would make a great permanent AD

I agree, but does he want the job? Maybe he could agree to a two year contract just to help get the fundraising set in place?

I haven't followed this super closely, but it's odd how this situation has been drawn out so long. They haven't had enough time to figure out if Kupec is a fit to take it long-term?
