[QUOTE="RamblinRed, post: 869889, member: 1776"] Fans need to remember that the football change was made largely because some of the big donors wanted to get rid of the 3O and weren't willing to upgrade support for the program unless that change was made. Then whoever was hired had to be someone that the donors who were going to pony up more money for the program for more staff approved of and Collins fit that bill. The football hiring wasn't a decision made by the AD in a vacuum. It was made with the approval of important big money donors. Also, the AD's job is not only about hiring the basketball and football coaches - though that is an important piece. TStan's #1 priority when he was hired was fixing the AA balance sheet and improving fundraising. I also don't think TStan has done anything wrong yet in terms of the BB program. He did not hire Pastner, MBob did. I know some fans wanted TStan to fire Pastner during the whole Bell and DaBarrie debacle's - but to do so would have meant paying his buyout (which GT really couldn't afford to do and hire another coach) as Pastner was not found responsible for any violations that would have triggered firing for cause. Giving Pastner an extension after the ACC Championship was an easy and correct call. And that was done pretty well where if it went downhill GT could move on in 2-3 years with no big financial hit.
