I have heard our big problem with hiring a new coach will be JG!!! Her philosophy is the AD should be making more than all the coaches on staff because he is in charge of all of them!! Also rumor has it that all that job should pay based on that philosophy is 200k or less!!! That will make it hard to get a hot New prospect....We will end up with a guy like the baseball coach nice guy with an overall loosing record...And same goes for Volleyball also overall loosing record but a nice gal...JMO!!!! or not?

She knows how the gig works and what other coaches in the league make...
this is silly bashing of the President.
Lets give her the time to make a hire before we decide what she knows or doesnt know.
I am not bashing her personally just the possible philosophy for hiring new coaches!! Example the new baseball and volleyball coaches hired and their records!!! For the record i like what see from her at games she loves the program and also believe she is good for the school in a lot of ways...
I thought it was that she thought no coach should make more than her?
Actually thats not on JG....thats a Bradley rule that the President is the highest paid employee on campus....so remember if you bring in a name who wants more than $500k/year than JG would also get a bump to go with the buy-out of JL....your looking @ a lot of money!

Lets not pretend that this is the only hire that determines what she knows or doesn't know. She has made plenty of moves or influenced others behind the scenes that have created her reputation.

But a new basketball coach will be one of the things that cements JG's legacy on the hilltop, the other hires come into programs where the standard of success does not compare to the results that fans demand from men's hoops. This was not her hire, but it acts that way when you consider how many donors consider JL an untouchable idol from his playing days, and the S16 bid. We all don't know what's on the minds of JG, but I can assume that she knows that Bradley basketball is more than just an athletic program---it is the promotional vehicle for an academic school and ties together both alumni and non-alumni (primarily local) who come together at Carver and cheer the Braves on.
I'll be honest, when I heard JL's qoute about changing the system to the recruits....kind of got me scratching my head.
The underlying statement I got from the piece was that we have come full circle and we are right back to where we were 9-10 years ago with Mo! Sounds to me like maybe he is saying if it wasn't good enough for Mo, why should it be good enough for JL?
The thing that keeps coming up in my mind is that this is not the administration that hired JL. Who knows how they will look at things? Will they look at his overall record? Average finish in the valley? The number of injuries and off the court issues? The amount of money he has helped to bring into the school? I don't know. But it should be very interesting to see how it all plays out!
Some see a hopeless end, while others see an endless hope.

Her reputation is well earned...Not my point..
Still this will be the hire that defines her stay here, with most of the city.
Do you really think there are people who think JL should get a lifetime contract? I don't.
Like I said, whatever coach the president has a hand in choosing will be one of the things that people will determine as her lasting legacy. She was not here when JL played, nor was she here the year he went to the S16 or the NIT year after that. She can take a gamble, tell the wealthy donors who love JL no matter what to pound sand and find a new coach (if a vacancy is there), or keep JL and not buy him out and have him implement his system with the new recruits AND have a team practice with the new facilities. I'm not guaranteeing first place MVC here next year, but at this point I'll take anything above cellar.
