Well, we got it done in men's basketball - and we're only 2 months into the first semester since Glasser & Cross were fired - yet we see another sport where Glasser's & Cross' tinkering have led to horrific results - and losing in ALL TIME HISTORIC proportions!!
Check out Bradley Volleyball. Glasser & Cross declared that the former coach Sean Burdette had to go - he was winning only 8-9 matches per season although he only was given 3 seasons then canned.
But he had some good recruits - that helped Cross' new hire Jenny Maurer - to 12 wins her first season but it was really down hill from there.
Whatever possessed Cross to hire a coach from Lehigh that had never had a winning season and really never competed well even in that lowly conference?
But in no time at all - just as soon as Maurer had recruited her own team and had all her own players - suddenly Bradley VB couldn't beat a junior high VB squad!!
Check the records the past two seasons.
Last year - 2014-15 - Bradley went 2-26, and just 2-16 in the MVC.
Now this year, BU just lost again to Loyola in straight sets - now they are 5-17 and 0-10 in the MVC.
That's a combined record over 1.5 seasons of 7-43 and 2-26 in the MVC - and it's gonna get worse.
BU could readily lose all their remaining matches and go 0-18 in the MVC, as they really aren't close in any match!
12 of the last 16 matches were lost in straight sets (5-48 in sets) and Bradley had a stretch last year where they lost a dozen matches consecutively by straight sets. In other words - nothing even close!
Jenny Maurer has already had two nearly full years more time to show progress than Cross gave Burdette, so it's time to go. I know VB isn't really a revenue sport but Dr. Chris Reynolds isn't gonna tolerate this kind of Glasser/Cross-caliber ineptitude much longer.
I am sure they are all nice people but that didn't stop Glasser & Cross from running a whole lot of nice people out - some of whom have gone on to great success elsewhere after leaving Bradley, while most of Glasser's hires have been truly abysmal.
Braves fans love Bradley athletics too much to stand for this and we trust Chris Reynolds to get-r-done.
