He’s a frustrated alumni and a fan just like us, hopefully he just lit a fire that sparks changes!

Not that it will do anything, but I urge everyone to e-mail Oliva (pres@stjohns.edu) and Gempesaw (olivaj@stjohns.edu) and let them know that they need to step aside. This needs to change right now.

And to those who questioned airing dirty laundry or being too harsh on Oliva, I say BULL! Maybe now that this is all out in the open, the BOT will do something about it.[/quote]
Yea and now good luck attracting any reputable coach to come here after this....

Yes. Big time. It's not exactly dirty laundry. Most of us on here knew about this, it now has an audience.[/quote]
Yeah.... A lot of this stuff was already known.[/quote]
Us knowing it, and Repole (an insider and huge donor) saying it on a nationally syndicated radio show, is very very different[/quote]
Doesn't matter. If you know the game, then you know the game. He just had a soapbox to speak on it.
I'm not sold on Cluess based on the reasons I've presented. Obviously, he is sold on him. But I surmise he would toss his reel in the water for a bigger and better fish, if possible.[/quote]
Absolutely. Cragg needed 100k to update the locker room. Repole wrote a check. Cragg needs 20 million for the Program. Repole says put me in for half.
The money is there for a new Class A hire.

That's the potential worst deal that could come outta today's interview.

Clearly that was a problem even before this interview.

yea. double edged sword. repole needed to air the dirty laundry but it might scare off potential candidates. this stuff was going on since father Harrington was here. A lot of people believed that having a president that was not a priest would change things but I guess not.
[quote="JohnnyFan" post=343356]Well.......let's sign Tim Cluess now.
Clearly no on else is going near this job after that interview.[/quote]
Guys didn’t want to come here BEFORE this interview.

Oops! I replied wrongly to you, Monte. I do agree, it is different than us knowing it and Repole saying it on a syndicated-radio show is different. I'm sure there was some people out there who wasn't aware.
Well, we do know--for sure--there is money out there to make a home run-like hire.

Hope you’re both correct.

I agree. I have a bad feeling on what effect this has on the coaching search. Everybody loves the arse whooping he gave the president, but this can’t be good news for any coaching candidate with options.

In an effort to feed his own ego Repole just threw the baby out with the bath water. You are telling me there is no other way for Repole to air his frustrations with the administration besides the radio? Who is better off because of that interview? What coach, or player would ever come here? When does Ackerman step in? I can't believe that just happened.
