Butch Pierre

_ I'll take that 5% that he won't be our man. There are two other guys who are very interested in this job who have much better credentials than he does. But there is a good chance that we can not meet their needs so he may end up being the guy.

Don't expect a decision to be made until sometime in April. _

who is the two??????

_ why don't we hire butch pierre? _

I also say Butch Pierre. He has proven that he is a great recruiter especially in the state of Louisiana. His team always wins. I think he would be a great fit.
IF not Butch I would like to see Dennis Felton, the old WKU coach. I always respected him and liked what he did at WKU.

Pierre is my 4th choice, but I don't think that Gillispie or Felton would come here. I'd also love to see Kennedy by that's just not going to happen.

In the words of Lee Corso, not so fast my friend!!!

Gillispie proabably paid twice of what we can pay in taxes last year.

He's also unemployed at the moment.

Why would you get burned for putting his name here? Butch Pierre will likely be a solid candidate and given a good look.

There are hints from the administration that they are progressing with this hire quickly. I'm thinking your could see someone hired by mid march. It makes sense, we have to have someone come in early who can recruit for 2010. Remember, we have a lot of frontcourt needs and we only had 2 guys committed and I'm not even sure whether they are keeping their commit here now that Lee is gone. There is plenty of work to be done and not a lot of time to do it. They will hire quickly.

because before this season, i heard several people, probably remnants from DR. A's tenure as president, that had some very unsatisfactory things to say about him. i think that now that his resume is a little more extensive he may be one of the better choices we will have. i want to see who the other candidates are first before i go saying he will be the one to hire.

I still say we offer the kitchen sink to Billy Kennedy, give him the keys, and see what happens.. just my $.02
