Welcome Landon!

The interview was sort of odd to me. She seemed to say she wanted the job on one hand, but then gave a number of fairly good reasons not to hire her given her short time horizon. Am I missing something? Is she suggesting that for a short window of time we need to keep her to navigate the...

Could be the waiting, maybe an eligibility issue…who knows but I agree it would be great to have him. I suspect there will be room once the conversations Pedon referenced in the Vidette article take palce and sink in….

It seems kind of odd that he remains uncommitted. Maybe something poses an obstacle?

I don’t see much opportunity for Lieb. If he stays, i predict he’s next year’s Ryan Schmitt. That’s a scholarship we need.

In the Ohio State fires Holtmann thread I opined that if he was smart enough to have an agent who negotiated that buyout, he wouldn’t be stupid enough to take the DePaul job. He has proven me wrong. I wish him luck, and he at least can feel good that he didn’t take the SLU job…..

I can’t tell if you aware of this, but the Vidette reported there was a special BOT meeting in closed session immediately after the Search Committee meeting Tuesday. Should be an announcement soon I’d think...

Pretty impressive experience, and Miami is considered a top “public Ivy” institution. I like that she has prior ISU time in one of our premier programs…..

Johnny and Myles are pretty damn important.

Let’s just hope they choose the best qualified candidate. I think this time we have a qualified candidate in the field, so it shouldn’t be that difficult. I hope we find a true leader. This is a very critical period of transition for higher ed, so we really need someone with vision and the...
