Why wait for the plane to land. Do it now!

Fire Madame Glasser ASAP, but not because of sports... I think I've realized that its game over for Geno but I see no need to let him go right now, waiting until the end of the season doesn't hurt anything (though I don't think it'll happen even then).

in all fairness - the main reason to consider making a change now is to get someone in here NOW who can begin to recruit and get somebody that can play the game - so we have a chance of being better next year. I doubt anyone else is gonna coach this group who can't shoot or make layups and do much better...

BUT - maybe others need to go 1st because I do not want the people who created this mess to think they're in charge of fixing it now...
but since we don't have a single recruit signed or coming in for next year we definitely need to do something soon so we can land some talent

I want Glasser, Cross, Geno and his staff gone now.

[Buesch N Chips]

People, people, people. Relax.

[Tulsa Brave]

All I want is a player who can put the ball in the freakin' basket. That's what we need more than anything else.

Here's what I see....

I see an admin, Athletic Dept. and coaching staff that is so worried and stressed out over what everyone thinks...and it is distracting them from performing their jobs - they now just want to claim everything's great when it is not...
They are trying to do a massive spin job with the help of the PJS to buffalo fans into thinking we're right around the corner from good times...

Stop the spin - admit you've made bad moves and screwed up and start fixing it...
THEY OUGHT TO BE 100% FOCUSED ON GETTING IT DONE - hiring top personnel, recruiting top players, then coaching them up and WINNING!

Instead everything we read is some excuse or slam at the fans - that they are uneducated, that they don't know how great it is playing at Ren-Col, that the ones in the upper bowl don't make much money for BU...
Then they focus on logos, mascots, changing the fans' favorite events then telling the fans they don't know good from bad...

Please - just let the fans think what they want and talk BU basketball - good or bad - just like we always have for decades.
Stop spending your days reading message boards and telling the fans to just be patient and stop asking for improvement --

Instead - just GIVE THE FANS IMPROVEMENT - not to mention stop messing with all the fans' favorite events.

Why relax? I've been saying for 3 years Geno can't coach and it looks like I'm right.

[Da Coach]

I predict 1,500 people for the Dec. 28 UIC game.

[bu fan 9]

Maybe 1500.

What do you think Crosses notes said after the last 2 games?

[Braves2006]

UIC game? HA!! You won't catch me anywhere near the Civic Center. If anyone needs me, I'll be up in Evanston at Welsh-Ryan. Go Cats!

I would suggest firing the president and the athletic director before the 2nd semester starts. I would say fire Ford now, but I'm not sure you would gain anything by it. In addition, there will be coaches getting fired, once the season is over, that could be candidates if Geno is gone. The problem is this. There is no sense firing Ford until Glasser and Cross are gone. We don't want more of the same. Finding a replacement for Glasser will take some time, unless there is somebody on campus that could be a suitable president on an interim basis. The athletic director is not that big of a deal as far as an immediate hire. The Board of Trustees need to get this hire right. It is difficult and really not ethical in my opinion, to go courting potential coaches during the season. I don't think we would want someone doing it to us. Let's face it. We are screwed for the time being. I still want to know if it is official, that Ford has been given a two year contract. All I have heard is rumor. The next basketball coach needs to be hired or at least interviewed by a panel of respected people, that are familiar with coaching, the NCAA and Bradley tradition and expectations.

What did you expect! You hire an east coast liberal to run your university and you are surprised when they think you are stupid. Bradley works well when if it run or coached by people with Bradley and mid west roots. Go back to those types of people and Bradley will come back like wild fire.
