Much better move for St. John's to take Jackson, though he wouldn't be any more successful than Mullen was. Johnnie's need a rainmaker--like Pitino. The way they've handled this whole coaching change has been a MAAC-level debacle. If I were an alum I'd be gong nuts right now...

Will be fun to see what St John’s does now? Looks like someone at Johnnies definitely doesn’t want Cluess. I do get a chuckle out of Iona fans shitting their pants, with silly comments how Cluess should tell St John’s to screw off now because he is 3rd pick etc, easy to say , but Johnnies would double to triple his pay , wonder how many of the Iona fans would turn their noses up to that. Have to think this is already affecting Iona’s recruiting No Ortale is still coming and all of you guys will be “ shitting in your pants” if Cluess returns.

I want Cluess back, I’d like to see what this program can do vs Iona now that there’s been a culture shift. Siena hasn’t exactly been run all that well over the past 8 years. Things are finally looking like they’re turning a corner. Let’s see what head to head looks like over the next couple of years.

Siena hasn’t exactly been run all that well over the past 8 years. Things are finally looking like they’re turning a corner. Let’s see what head to head looks like over the next couple of years. I agree...while Iona has earned the favorite distinction until beaten the fact is Siena and Iona both had the same record this year - 17-16. While they soundly beat us in the tournament if we didn't choke that game away at home vs the Gaels on Feb. 13 then Siena would've been the #1 seed and who knows how the tournament would have played out. My point being the difference wasn't that great and Siena has the best player in the league IMO and adds two key pieces (Burns and Carey plus hopefully a few good additions). Now Siena will have a first year coach so that's always a factor but I like where we are right now. Also as KK said Iona needs a PG to replace McGill. .

Sounds like Iona knows how to prepare a contract and lock down a coach it likes. Too bad their rent a player philosophy is only good enough to win the maac.

Hofstra now this, it’s obvious he’s SJ’s last option (if that) and essentially not wanted due to some internal strife. They’re reaching out to everyone, Odom at UMBC just turned them away .... it’s getting embarrassing for Cluess. I think at this point I would tell SJ to just piss-off. Even if he were to get the job what kind of environment would he be walking into, he’s obviously not wanted by some and the program is a giant cluster-F! Sometimes the extra 💰 just isn’t worth a bad situation.

Just heard Cluess removed his name from consideration from St. John’s. If that is true they have the worlds largest tire fire going on in Queens.

I am a Hard Core Siena fan since the 50's. However I have a lot of respect for Coach as a family man. I new his brother Kevin as a great St John's player. I wish him well except when he faces Siena. St Johns made a mistake.

Why can't anyone win there? They've dropped millions on coaches since Lou left and they've all failed. You'd think playing in NYC / the Garden and in the BE conference - that they'd be able to recruit well. They haven't been cheap on coaches. I just don't get it.

That’s because the geniuses running it are a bunch of morons. They haven’t been good in about 30 years and continue to screw up hire after hire

"There comes a point where the reality of the situation becomes more clear and moving forward is what is needed". That spells is out pretty good, only so long you can negotiate when there are people in the program that clearly want to hire anyone but you.

I would think they should be turning to James Jones of Yale...…….not the spashiest/sexiest name, but guy is really solid...………..has won games in post season tourneys including NCAA...……….his teams like to spread the floor & shoot 3's...………...very well respected...……………...
