Report of Jim Les firing

[DjhIrish]

Wow, it went viral in here in 2 hrs. since nothing can be quoted. I just think this isn't the end of the story and only the beginning of what is going to become some unbelievable news for Bradley athletics as a whole.

and in a different way, why are there kids camped out in front of taj ma-hilltop?

[Air Petey]

There was personal info removed that we were asked to keep private.

Ask by whom?? Why are we trying to cover up public info. I knew all of that days ago.

[budu]

I apologize about personal info, for whatever it was, the intentions were not to hurt anyone.

Just stating possibilities and opinions, maybe they all stay, play and prove Jim Les should of been kept as head coach.

Well folks what is done is done. Was it the right thing to do? Only time will tell. But now is when everyone needs to support the process and the administration, hope for the best, and believe in our heart of hearts that the new guy will take us where we have not been for a few years. Go BU!

I know you want to seem important, but a lot of that info was not public. Do we even know if any of it is true?

[Da Coach]

Thanks budu, I know you were supporting Jim. It's just that some of the info you have heard is 100% accurate, but we've been asked not to put all of it out publically yet until decisions are solidified.

Don't really get the Jim should have been given another year argument. He had 9 years and could never get us higher than 4th in the conference. TB in all likelyhood isn't going to be cleared to play and we don't know how effective Sam will be coming back so to think that we would have been a conference favorite next year is a bit of a stretch. We finished 4-14 this year and at best would be swapping SM/TB for AW/DD. Doubt that turns us into 14-4.

I think LES is a great guy, ambassador for the university, developer of quality men, and numerous other attributes, but at the end of the day he wasn't a great (or even good) in-game coach, struggled with X's and O's and this was the case with or without injuries dragging the team down. He's essentially Ron Zook.

I'm worried about the future and truly think that assuming the Pres handles this right, the situation to make a truly great hire is right in front of us. I hope all the returnign players let there emotions run their course and examine everything the university has given them and decide that they are truly a Brave and stick around. May be tougher to convince th recruits to stay since they don't have anything to really draw on except Les. The only one I'm really concerned about is Remy. Stewart will still come and I'm not sold on Harris or Wells being anything we couldn't replace.

Yeh to say anything is absolutely the truth...its more speculation...

Don't really get the Jim should have been given another year argument.

It doesn't really matter now, but my thought process was he should be allowed to succeed or fail on a full team, so there would be no debate. If he was so bad before this year, he should have been fired then. Since he was retained after last season, he was fired based on this season's results, which I think is unfair. I think he was owed that based on all he has done for BU, as a player and coach.

Taylor's heart test is a good analogy. His heart has to be tested when it is normal for an accurate test. Otherwise, you get false positives. I think when you lose arguably your two best players, I think it is possible to get false negatives. I think it would be more accurate to test him when his team is normal.

But what's done is done, and I hope it turns out to be a good decision.
