Porter Moser signs new long term contract with Loyola

[Da Coach]

From the Chicago Tribune-
Loyola and Porter Moser reach agreement on multiyear contract extension

http://www.chicagotribune.com/sports/college/ct-spt-loyola-porter-moser-contract-extension-haugh-20180425-story.html

The contract extension runs through 2026. There is no word on the amount of the new salary. Moser was reportedly making $420,000 on his current contract.

He probably deserved all of it. He had a program that was down farther than Bradley and took them to the final four. Granted he had better players, but he should have been on approximately the same recruiting level as Bradley.

Good for Porter. Hope he stays that long. Good for Loyola good for the valley.

I hope things don't go as well for Porter as they did for SIU's Chris Lowery.
Chris Lowery took over for Bruce Weber in 2005 and had nice 3-year run (27-8, 22-11, 29-7) culminating in a Sweet 16 run in 2007.
Then on March 31, 2007 they rewarded Lowery with a 7 year extension and a boost to $750K, the largest salary in the league.
It was their undoing, and they have never recovered since.

I am not implying he would have had the same success, but how does DePaul not do a full court press to get Moser after that run. All things considered, DePaul has to be on of the worst D1 basketball programs all things considered. They are in Lincoln Park in Chicago, have a brand new basketball stadium downtown, is a fairly good academic university, and are in the Big East. Yet they continue to be a terrible program year in year out. They would probably have finished at the back end of the Valley several times in recent years, if not last. However, there coaching hires are repeatedly awful, and they play the assistant coach game getting assistants that have ties to players instead of assistants that can contribute. You would think that with Moser's success this year they would have at least pushed hard to try to get that success brought a couple miles south.

Good for Loyola. If he coached at Bradley they would fire him after being so successful.

Let it Go

When are you going to let it go? Move on its getting old you reminding us about Dick Versace. I'm not trying to be mean just tired of hearing it!

I think he is referring to Jim Les and that Glasser lady. Lol

[Da Coach]

Maybe, but knowing Chico, I am pretty sure the reference was about Dick Versace.

Too bad if you??™re getting tired. As a long time season ticket holder I got tired of Bradley firing successful coaches, Dick Versace and Jim Les.

and taking way, way too long to fire horribly destructive and unsuccessful Presidents & ADs

life is good for Porter Moser- way good beyond his years at ISU
...he just bought the $2.5 million mansion that Chicago CUBS owner Tom Ricketts sold

Why Versace was fired

The following is not my opinion, but what was conveyed to me by President Abegg.
Dick Versace was fired because of his recruiting activities and his attitude when Bradley was called to appear before the NCAA. Had he admitted that he had made an error in judgment with some of his recruiting and would definitely clean up the recruiting, he might have survived. He did not, but retained his arrogant attitude. Had Bradley had a president with less integrity (thankfully we did NOT), the outcome might have been different. Had Bradley been Kentucky or North Carolina, the outcome might also have been different.

I think we all know Versace refused to give the NCAA agents the answers they wanted and that his actions were deemed by some to be arrogant and deceptive. Versace did not agree with the findings of the NCAA, but Abegg wanted to distance himself from Versace, so he only gave Versace one year on his contract- and Dick wasn't gonna take that treatment. Most Bradley fans and boosters likewise sided against Abegg. During the NCAA investigation, Abegg laid all the blame on Versace so he'd look good and the NCAA investigators used Abegg's version to slam Dick.
Versace left on his own and took a position with the Pistons. He was NOT fired as has commonly been stated.
