Next step opportunity he would consider would have to be triple the beefs $ - minimum. Why start all over again at Fordham? Reason not to would be very similar to why P5 teams don't want to play us...... If he gets a $1.5K to $2K offer somewhere I see him bolting. If not I see him staying in hot wing town another year to raise the stakes.

The RAC is undersized and out dated. One of their biggest supporters called RU's facilities "Not Big Ten ready". Their president and A.D. have said not to look for facility upgrades for at least 10 years. In a recent article about it they said (I'm paraprhasing) "they are in the process of puting together a plan to put together a plan to upgrade facilities." Whatever that means. Their wrestling room is so small they have to stagger practices.

St.Anthony's recruits on Hurly's reputation alone. I know a lot of Rutgers' grads and they say The RAC was undersized since it was built.They called it an embarassment and that was before they went into the B1G. Rutgers found out that,until they improved their football facilities they had trouble landing even 3 star recruits with a very popular coach. In addition to facilities,Rutgers also has budget issues that could affect how much they could pay a couch,especially since they have had issues with getting donations with their current president and A.D.

It's quite a lot different than Fordham or Bradley. When JG was considering leaving, my only concern for him was the stability of the situation with the AD and Illinois president. I can't recall the situation for each though. I was thinking Mike Thomas was on the hot seat?

That's the same kind of thinking that people on here used when Baylor was looking for a football coach a while back. I argued that it was possible to win at places "where no one can win". I stand by my conclusion that you can win at a place like DePaul for the reasons stated above in the DePaul thread. Time will tell. I'll roll out Ohio football as Exhibit B.

How big a step up is debatable. It's a multiple bid league so it is a step up from the MAC. Getting one of those bids when you are competing with teams with bigger facilities will be difficult.

I guess he was an assistant there before, but I don't know why anyone would want a career underachiever who's essentially won nothing and has a sketchy ethical past. A refresher: http://www.insidethehall.com/2008/02/13/summary-of-ncaa-a.../ For a guy who could easily have been fired at Kent prior to the performance of this year's team, getting an A-10 job as a reward would be incredible.

From the Facebook page of a full professor there: “Fordham just fired another men's basketball coach, Tom Pecora, several years after hiring him at the astounding salary of $660,000 a year. Once again, I would like to offer myself as a candidate for the position. I guarantee you I will win as many games as any coach you hire, and I will do the job for half the salary, using the other half to start a much needed childcare center for faculty, students and staff. Plus think of the favorable publicity that would accrue to Fordham for hiring an actual faculty member as coach. What do you think Fordham students and alums? Should I become the next men's head basketball coach?” Back to Top Showing Replies:   1 - 25  of 53 Posts Jump to Page:   1 | 2 | 3    Next > View Other 'Ohio Basketball' Topics                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                               WHO'S ONLINE There are 223 Active Visitors on BobcatAttack.com 223 Guests 0 Registered Users There are no other users looking at this page.
