Who will replace Greg Graham as assistant coach?

[bradleyfan124]

Could he same reason that kept some Head Coaches from applying at Bradley be keeping Assistant Coaches from applying?

[bu fan 9]

Could it be because the head coach days are numbered?

Every coaches days are numbered.....one way or the other

I still believe Ford will be here for 2 more years unless next year is a disaster.

Would you consider playing on Thursday night in the tourney again a disaster?

Yes. I would, but I doubt that Geno would be fired. His contract is too expensive for Bradley to buy out with the financial situation of the athletic program.

This question was asked a year ago, after Bradley was coming off their improved 16-16 season (albeit with the help of a non-con schedule SOS of 339), and the CIT, and unanimously it was answered yes by fans. So I can't believe anyone would say no to it for a 4th year.

Maybe they're having trouble getting any top notch qualified candidates who want the job?

given what we know about the financial situation (in a separate thread)
and given that Pittis is already out recruiting and filling the duties of the vacant assistant spot...
and that we are hearing no word of other candidates....I think it is likely the job will go to Cole Pittis.

You may be right T but don't think that's the case. I think it will be Cole and has been from the get go.

You like that choice wily?

since the recruiting process to land Josh Cunningham swung strongly towards Bradley right at the end of the process....
could the upcoming naming of a new assistant coach show us evidence of how it all went down?

9 days have passed since the commitment of Josh Cunningham, and I thought the priority and focus would be on filling the assistant coaching vacancy left behind by the resignation of Greg Graham over 5 weeks ago. But we are not hearing anything new. In the past, whenever Bradley had coaching vacancies, we heard reports of numbers of applicants, candidates names, who and when we had interviews, and who were the finalists, but this time there have been no such reports. If Cole Pittis is the man for the job, why is this continuing to drag out? Has anyone heard any reports or speculation?

With this recruiting class and Chin's network in Chi town I seriously doubt that
I would think a package deal with a successful AAU coach has been in the works since our last signing

Who will replace Greg Graham...

History may be repeating itself. Remember how long JG took to locate and hire an AD. The vacancy after she fired KK was open for a very long time with much speculation before she finally hired MC. Since she approves everything in the Ath. Dept., she may be repeating her long vacancy syndrome.

just heard from a reliable source that there is a hire...but that it has not been made public yet...
this isn't unusual as we saw in the Molinari situation - there are several reasons why even after the hire, that background needs to be checked, certain rules followed, and time for the candidate to "tie up loose ends"...

so who will it be??? If it were Pettis hiring from within then wouldn't they just announce that right away?

BTW Bradley is also hiring again in Sports Performance/Conditioning

I now have a 2nd independent confirmation that we should be hearing something soon - but I don't know how soon "soon" is since it's already been 2 mo. and little else happening up there this summer is being reported on..
there's something else going on and so between now and this fall we're likely to hear other news...
