Chris Lowery, ANOTHER PROVEN LOSER WHO RUNS PROGRAMS INTO THE GROUND

[catzacker]

I was going to say more, but looks like you guys are on the ball.

 

I would like to hear more about how awful he is.  Players he ran off, stupid crap he did as coach, etc.  It will help me through my grieving process.

Why are the tucks excited about this guy?

Because they are tards?

disappointing.  Hope that means no McClain though.  That guy sounds like a waste of space.  Price is listed as the lead recruiter for Hill...don't know if that means anything or not, but I would assume Price is coming, and the third guys will be "K-State ties" guy.   

I'd be shocked if McClain followed. I'd guess Jerrance Howard will pursue other opportunities. If Lowery is not an April Fool's joke, that probably means Price and Lowery for sure. I don't know much about Lowery, but I think this is giving you some insight on the way Weber operates and what he's learned in his failures at Illinois. Not a effing thing.

Contrast this to our new Head Coach, John Groce:

--- Asked about whether he’d consider hiring a high school coach such as Simeon’s Robert Smith as an assistant, Groce didn’t tip his hand. But he did say he’d be open to anyone who gives Illinois the best chance to win games.

“I’m open to putting the best staff together that we can put together. I’m going to turn over every stone,” Groce said. “So we’re going to do our due diligence there.”

oscar Weber may mow his own grass, but he only knows of one stone and he hasn't found anything under that one stone in at least 9 years. I hate to say it, but after overseeing the worse 6 year period in Illinois BB since the early 70's, it appears that clown is not going to change a effing thing.

Think of all the super neat out of bounds plays!!!

zacker, where did you hear this? I haven't seen anything on twitter or the KSU site yet.

This may help, as will browsing SalukiTalk.

Two points where I must clear the record.

1. Weber was offered the job at SIU. He turned it down. I would have never dreamed KState would hire him, for more money than he made at Illinois.
2. Lowery was a good recruiter, but he ran all the good recruits off. See Booker to Iowa State, Kevin Dillard to Dayton as prime examples.

I do wish Weber and Lowery the best of luck, but this may be a more difficult situation than they can handle.

Best of luck EMAW's.

I'm not even shitting you.  this isn't april fools.  this is a real, serious post.  this why we don't get and keep good things.

Truth is we took a major chance on a coach with no Head coaching experience at the Div. 1 level, and combined all the coaches on the staff only had 5 years experience (All Frank). It's not like we lost (got rid) of a coach with 35-40 years of coaching experience that had been to final fours and won championships. We got rid of a coach that had 1 really good year and was fairly mediocre for the other 4. We're replacing that coach with a staff that already has 4-5 times more experience and even better accomplishments. How are people still bagging on this?

Hell no, they'll just take it straight to the hole, kinda like Currie did to us

to be fair (prob a cheap shot by me) you said just about the exact same thing not a month ago

[catzacker]

I said frank did what should be expected of a KSU coach.  Not that I wanted Frank to leave.  And I sure and crap didn't say that I wanted oscar rough ridin' Weber and Chris Lowery to run KSU's program into the ground.

we're all catzacker's now

  I mean my god....


in 30 min. when this really sinks in though...

[kso_FAN]

_Fan has to be super excited that finally, HIS guy is in manhattan.

I know. 

The first assistant hired was the guy who took what Weber built at Southern Illinois (granted, with a handoff season of Painter inbetween) and ran it into the ground.

But hey, the last coach we got that once coached the Salukis turned out pretty good, maybe it will increase our odds to get two more former Saluki coaches.

[Dugout DickStone]

Good lord at we reject toy island or what?

Nice hire.  Lowery knows how to run a program... into the ground.   

But seriously, number of conference wins in last five years at SIU:

11 (07-08)
8
6
5
5 (11-12)

Lowery did to SIU what Weber did to Illinois.

Y'know I'm not going to bother to do the math but I'll bet if you were to add those to the number of conference games Weber won at Illinois the past five years you'd probably approximately equal Frank.  Hell of a way to replace a legend Currie, never would have thought of going that route!

eff

There are not words to describe the giant crap mudslide this is turning into.  How to burn a program to the ground in 36 hours, by John Currie.

[Deez Nutz]

i just want a mulligan for the last week.  these assholes are trying to break me.

I can literally feel the spirit leaving my body.  By the time this nightmare is over, I will be nothing but a walking corpse if I'm lucky.  Otherwise I will simply be a corpse.

Frank 50-32
oscar 41-50
Lowery 35-55

Lowery got progressively worse.  Weber had two disasterous season sandwiched around three seasons similar to the ones Frank had over that same span.  I kinda get the feeling Weber is a quitter.  Like, he folds when things get tough, but can do pretty well as long as things are going his way.

I'm starting to think Weber evaluates talent about as well as Currie and Schultz.  We're mumped.

Well yeah but Weber + Lowery > Martin because 41 + 35 > 50.  That's obviously the chart Currie spent four days studying.   

[Pete]

Seriously, no hyperbole here at all....this is what this rough ridin' guys do.  They take over programs where someone else recruited the talent and they X & O the crap out them.  Really grind it. 

Then, when their recruiting fails, and it always does (not opinion, this is FACT), they can't win and they get canned.


It's only a matter of time.  These are facts.  It's happened before, and it will happen again....TO US.

[SalukiNation]

I do have to clear up one more thing. Lowery was not a good x's and o's coach.

Wait, so you are saying he neither can recruit or coach well?
