[QUOTE="slugboy, post: 905539, member: 282"] There’s a vacuum where everyone is trying to figure out what the new guy will do and what difference he will make. It’s not just him—there are other changes coming too. The admin has been planning this for a while—we saw some of that when Cabrera rolled out the new fundraising drive. The AA needs a lot of things, but financial stability is near the top, and we hired a big fundraiser. That seems like a fit. We’re guessing at the rest. Since he’s from Alabama (lately) there are guesses he’ll hire O’Brien. Or Key. No one forecast Batt as the new AD. In retrospect, he looks like a good selection. An up and comer, like Radakovich, but focused on fundraising instead of building. It’s clear that there’s a strategy that we don’t fully understand. Neville explained pillars, but no one successfully used his criteria to guess Batt. We will have a strategy for the HC hire and for other changes in the AA. So far, we’re batting 000 for our predictions. I think people are dying to know what happens next. Based on what’s happened so far, we shouldn’t be surprised if our expectations are dead wrong. Some of our doubts and questions are getting filled in by old conversations about new degree programs, leaving the SEC, etc. [/QUOTE]
