Athletic Dept. Changes

In my opinion, if the AD is going to be held accountable, then the AD has to be able to make the decision (within reason, of course, and he sounds like a reasonable man).

So, if the AD has some good coaching candidates, great. If he wants to wait until next season, ok.

So, I am content to relax and to see what is coming.

Those are incompatible statements.

Giving Geno another year to damage this program would be the absolute worst thing that could be done. If nothing else, use an interim coach, but Geno has to go. You can say that he can't damage the program any further, but I'd seriously rather not find out.

I would give a vote of no confidence if we still have Geno come next season. I don't care what he's owed.

Coach Ford has to go now. We have lost enough. Not one more month. He isn't capable of recruiting good D1 talent and the inmates are running the asylum. He is in favor of moving games back to campus, so he looks better with a house that is fuller. That's a step backward and a slap in the face to hundreds of people who put Bradley on the map!! I've been a fan for 40 years and with him in there, I could care less about Bradley. I'm not alone. Just ask 4000 others, who don't bother to come to Carver for a Bradley game!!!

You can't keep Geno for one more year and then let him go. It's fire him now or keep him for the length of his contract. There are TEN scholarships that are open for 2016-2017. Those need to be filled and that process should be happening now by the coach who will be coaching these players in 2016-2017 and beyond.

That is a great point and one that the new AD is well aware of. In order to replace all those seniors next year, a coach needs a good head start on the recruiting. As you point out, it could be a disaster to switch coaches next year when there are so few players returning, and not enough time to fill the openings with good quality recruits.
