I find some of these comments about Captain Kirk hilarious. No question he led the drumbeat to get rid of JL and has been the pide piper for Geno and the current regeme. It might have taken him awhile but maybe Kirk has finally seen the light. If he was the one who helped get JL fired, which most of the anti Journal Star people have said, maybe we should encourage him to lead this drumbeat in getting Geno let go as well. Nothing else is working.

This was very clear from the beginning. He didn't like the hire, didn't like the way JL handled the press, and he is one of those "Buescher gets all the credit" guys.

And he had someone he would have hired instead of Jim.

At 700K + and a contract we will be seeing Ford in the future. BU can't afford to fire him and get another coach. I still keeping hope that a true point guard can help turn this team around. I may just be optimistic. We also need to bring in another true, not a combo, point guard next year.

Yes, I agree.
But, I still think we also need an accomplished shooter. I think we'll see a lot more games this year when we struggle to score points. Maybe Amerson, if he gains eligibility, can help, but I still don't think we have enough guys who can create and consistently hit the three. Plus our best three point shooter, Barnes, will be gone.

Recall - when the time was right to fire the last coach - it was when the amount due to be paid on Coach Les' contract had shrunk to about $1.3 million...
But Bradley was in better shape financially back then so the President pulled the trigger and thus had to pay the buyout.

Bradley probably couldn't even afford that much now because of the financial problems
and losses of $6 million per year within the Athletic Department

BUT -- a rough estimate (based on what's been made known)
.. of what it would take to buy out his contract -


If we did it now -------- $2.8 million
If done at the end of the season- $2.1 million
if done at the end of 2015-16 -- $1.4 million
at the end of 2016-17 (almost 3 years from now)-- $700,000

now new data proves the Athletics Dept. losses for 2013-14 were actually $7.1 million instead of about $6 mil - the difference was due to previous facts being unreported or reported in a less-than-upfront fashion (Non-disclosure" and "lack of transparency")

That is normally grounds for dismissal

Lets hope he gets fired sooner than later and that he takes Wessler and Reynolds with him to his next job where ever that might be.
