It doesn't take much to get the juices flowing here!;)
I respect Paultzman for starting the thread, even though a little prematurely but let's not attack each other for betting on what may or may not happen. I would suggest editing the topic header to read "Staffing Change? Vegas Odds". Winner gets chicken dinner.:p
 
[quote="panther2" post=290643]Regarding Matt A, no one leaves a coaching job in July unless something very strange happens. Then, when you consider all the hard work that he put in recruiting our 2018-19 team, I can't see him leaving. Why, when we are in a position to have our most successful team in years, would he leave.

I am just going to relax and wait for the season to start. On a side note, after watching a few workouts, LJ Figueroa is my new favorite player.[/quote] Love reading your LJ opinion !!!!!
 
I'm off to Vegas Monday for work so I'll see if they're offering props on the STJ staff for next year. ;)
 
So now someone claims I do Uber because I’m broke and miserable. How much of a douche do you have to be to post that on a sports forum? I’m thankful for a good job, I don’t have to do anything on the side I just want to if you must know. No one else will call that out so screw it. I never started any rumor and I was clear about that. Matt has repeatedly posted about how much of a toll recruiting takes and insiders here already knew he was close to leaving several times before. Read between the lines...not saying he’d leave immediately, I meant it can’t make him want to stick around if he is already frustrated and Mullin denies him help. Him not being happy with being the only recruiter and nearly leaving twice is not speculation but him possibly not staying in near future if he doesn’t get help is speculation. I’ve never seen a fanbase eat their own like the SJ fanbase on this forum. Just unreal. I can say have a nice day and someone would spin it into beating a dead horse or being “psycho”. If there’s any true dead horse being beaten it’s the personal attacks against me. Not posting here for a while because this is supposed to be a place to BS for fun not to be lashed after work.

You're taking this too personally. You are correct that Matt had an offer and Mullin gave him a nice increase to remain but he is an expectant dad now and longs to be with Mrs. Matt. Life on the road can be hard to family men. Just ask fans like Beast and Austour. I left out Maher because he seems to love his travelling and he is not an expectant dad. At least I don't think he is!;)

He's got to pull out his finger and get married first, or does he. As an STJ grad probably. Nat and Mike look like the types to travel the world forever, however, so the ceremony seems less important.

Dude relax and read his whole post!!! He was giving you two perspectives on how to view a job. Sheesh!!
 
Mike Zaun - as others have said, you need to chill a bit and read posts before you respond. Beast was trying to show you that, as with the SJU basketball program, you can look at your own life from a glass is half full or half empty perspective and you are better off with the former view. Things are looking better than they have for SJU bball for a number of years. Why dwell on something as silly as the sky falling if we don't hire Rice? First off, the consistent word has been nothing will happen before end of AAU season at the end of this month. More importantly, program should be judged on its success this year and next, not on a hire that might be a good move, but is not necessarily the be all and end all for this program. Have a little faith and a little patience; we have certainly seen enough positives to justify that over the past couple of months.

No kidding especially when you are also traveling with your adult children.

Beast is the type of guy who if you meet him he's going to buy you a beer just because he respects how hard you work.

I'm going to tell Beast I have 5 jobs next time I see him out :)

Ahh, but the strawberries that's... that's where I had them. They laughed at me and made jokes but I proved beyond the shadow of a doubt and with... geometric logic... that a duplicate key to the wardroom icebox DID exist, and I'd have produced that key if they hadn't of pulled the Caine out of action. I, I, I know now they were only trying to protect some fellow officers...
 
Just a couple of thoughts:

A few years ago, I thought Joe/Zaun was kind of a dick. I don't think that anymore. Guys change, especially if they started posting young. Does he beat a dead horse? Sure, but honestly that's probably just his posting style.

As for there being 30+ new posts, you'd know when something legit happens because there will be 10 other threads welcoming him and another 5 talking about how great we'll be next season. Without the appearance of those 15 other threads talking about the same topic, you should simply assume that the main thread just went off topic.

I predict August 6.

As I stand here on the corner of hopelessly and confused, is August 6 when:
1. This thread will go back on topic
2. Zaun will stop beating dead horses
3. Posters will no longer be dicks
4. We will see 10 new welcoming threads, 5 how great we will be threads, and 15 more redundant ones

August 6 is when the hiring announcement comes, which means 1, 2, and 4 may apply.

There will still be a few dicks here, but I'm not allowed to call them that. I figured I could get away with the previous usage because it was more in a complimentary sense.
 
[quote="MarkRedman" post=290682]Why can't any of these threads ever stay on topic?[/quote]

Hey Mark. Because we're rabid hoops fans--St. John's fans in particular--ripped and tossed & torn by years of angst and frustration (and losing), and we're 'human'--kind of...hence, we drift, rant, quiet down, drift, howl, and sometimes...get back on focus.
Let' go Johnnies!
 
[quote="MarkRedman" post=290682]Why can't any of these threads ever stay on topic?[/quote]

Because after cocktails we tend roam and ramble in our thoughts. The only people who stay on topic don't drink and therefore cannot be trusted. Just one man's opinion. ;)
