What we need more than money is a New Coach. The game against American was just another example of that fact.
I think you have that backwards. Slocum will retire someday, maybe this year, maybe not. His replacement is already on staff, unless you can come up with serious money. Now that the HL has lost Butler and Loyola ...we are in just another mid-major league (in terms of post-season selections), but certainly not in strength. The HL is a dying fish. swimming very hard, but going in circles; so if we invest serious money without a more solidified program in football & a guarantee that we are not going to lose anymore men's programs due to finances (i.e.: baseball), I will be very upset. At the same time, this is the perfect opportunity to improve our MBB status in the HL and (not that there is ever a good time for mass player/staff changes), but we did have them at the best possible time. Slocum did a nice job in finding quality replacement players that will continue to make us more of an offense-based team that will be playing at a consistently higher level.
I do not want to do anything with MBB until we have FB straightened out. Now that we have pulled the trigger on Pelini, I think MBB is fine for at least 2-3 years.
