"Given Kill's old-school nature and affinity for loyalty and long-term relationships, keep an eye on Chris Lowery. Lowery was Southern Illinois head coach from 2004-12 while Kill was Salukis' football coach (2001-07) and has been on Weber's staff at Kansas State, where Kill spent time as an associate athletics director after departing Minnesota, since 2012."

An Elite 8 and historic dethroning of the 14-time consecutive BXII champs has turned heads across the country. Kill is now reportedly considering undoing the fatal error Rita Cheng and Mario Moccia inflicted upon the university. Community members like myself would gladly and passionately switch back our donations from Manhattan, KS to Carbondale. Kill is also reportedly washing the athletic department’s hands of the Saluki message board who’ve caused problems bringing How C-Low Will We C-Go and Hinson 4 Governor signs over the years. I just hope we’ll have people watching out for and confiscating inappropriate signs like against SLU in 2011. Great things abound in Carbondale.

Delusions are wonderful things.

This is a national media outlet reporting it. Both Lowery and Kill have sued SIU in the past and coached together at SIU. The two are longtime friends and Kill taking over starts the process of SIU mending fences with Chris & Erica.

If this happens, the rest of the Valley is doomed. With no Creighton or Wichita State to challenge for the league title anymore, Lowery would be claiming the championship for the Salukis every season for the forseeable future. :dance:

Just for reality's sake, in Lowery's last 5 seasons at SIU he went 67-90 and never finished above 8th place his last 3 years. But hey , I guess one way to clean up a mess is to rehire the guy who created it. In all honesty, Lowery has probably grown as a coach in the last 7 years and might do a decent job on his return as a favorite son, but If I'm Kill I'm looking to get a fresh start with just as favored a son in Mullins and avoid all the drama of that situation, friend or not.

Yeah, I know the Ozarks get a lot of flak about moonshine and meth, but I think maybe a few Saluki fans been hitting the pipe and mason jar a bit too often.

Two things:

1. Weber won the B12 not Lowery

2.This is a terrible idea that will solve nothing. Let's replace our failed coach with the guy he replaced who was also fired for poor performance. A brilliant recipe for success there.
