One thing about all this: I think everyone thinks we'd have a better record next year with Les than without Les. But this move isn't about one single year, it's about long-term direction.
There was significant doubt that Les could consistently compete at the top of the conference, that's what the move is made.
Yes. I am sure BP will have a statement out soon...Remember someone on JL's side tipped off foxsports.com
As Da Coach said JL is going to be fine. Best Wishes to him and I hope he and Jodi and the family take a great vacation and relax...
This has been stressful for all lately.
Do you know this for a fact? I doubt JL called Fox. It could just as likely been a number of other sources.
Recall that Ken Kavanagh found out the president had already hired another baseball coach when he called one of the candidates he was considering, and that candidate already knew and informed him that Elvis had been hired by the Bradley president.
Yeah, which is why you break the news tomorrow. It's usually the day after, not the day of.
Point being.....the tournament IS over. If a decision had been made, then why not send out the press release today?

They may apply, but after the selection 'process' (if one persons subjective opinion is a process), I doubt they are left standing.
BTW, anyone who think BP has any control of when Bradley fired JL and releases it either doesn't know much about BU, or is just looking to throw stones at other posters...

Because today is about the winner of the tournament, its their day in the spot light. You don't release big news like a coaching change on someone else's big day if you're classy.

Etiquette. All professional leagues, they always try to make sure teams don't announce coaching changes when a significant postseason event is going on. Same thing with the MVC and their marquee event of the year.
SM will be gone (I predict U of Illinois) along with all the recruits!! I HATE all the JL haters. Be careful what you ask for!! The grass is not always greener on the other side!!
Bradley is a great school with amazingly passionate fans. The President is going to hopefully due all the necessary leg work to make the best hire possible.

I can assure you nothing has been released or confirmed yet from the university. The rumor/leak didn't come from them.

This completely illustrates the point I've been making for 2 years now. I genuinely don't think people understand how little the BU athletic department has control of outside of scheduling and marketing.
--the way the president selected her last choice for head basketball coach is detailed here...
she simply closed her office door, made a few phone calls, then announced that she, as a "one-person search committee" made the choice.
--her selection at EKU, Jeff Neubauer, who had no head coaching experience at any level, inherited an NCAA team with four talented returning starters and seniors and was only 14-16 with that group. He has been nothing more than mediocre since against SOS that rank about 320 -- and they were bounced in the first round again this year.
--the new selection at Bradley will not be able to hire all his own assistants - per info I have learned, so how will that fly?
--no statement whatsoever from the university -- sad and lacking class....that the news hits the rumor wire first....
Oh nice! Why do I all of the sudden feel very sick at the moment?!
SM will be gone along with all the recruits!! I HATE all the JL haters. Be careful waht you ask for!! The grass is not always greener on the other side!!
I talk to many many BU fans. I've never met any who ever hate Les.
