[QUOTE="RonJohn, post: 896019, member: 2426"] He has done a lot for the athletic association. He has increased fundraising. (an argument can be made that funding will drop a lot because of the football program, but he has been able to get people to donate money at levels not achieved since Rice.) He has increased the effectiveness of the GTAA organization. (although it was just about non-functional under MBob) It appears that you want to only look at football and basketball. You don't want to look at what the athletic director has or has not directly done for football or basketball, only the records. Then on top of that, you want to look at only the 2021-22 basketball season and ignore the 2019-20 and 2020-21 seasons. You want to assume that he made the decision on a coach by himself and that he single-handedly wrote and negotiated CGC's contract. You want to assume that he has a secret stash of $12 million to get rid of the current coach and a stash of tens of millions to bring in a top notch staff. The athletic association is in much better shape than it was seven years ago. Basketball had a bad year, but it has been in much better shape than it was before Pastner. Football is in the dumpster. If TStan does nothing to try to get football on a better path, then I will agree with you that he needs to leave. At this point, my opinion is that the coaching staff needs to be changed. One thing I haven't pointed out in my discussions about MBob is the relationship with large donors. I have no inside information, the following is just my understanding: Large donors were unhappy with CPJ rejecting their "suggestions" for football. Under DRad, the AD was a buffer between such donors and the HC. The HC was able to be in charge of football, while the AD was able to keep the donors at least placated. When MBob came in, he didn't try to placate those donors. He isolated from the HC and fueled the discontent with the donors. The athletic association and football in particular have suffered greatly from that lack of leadership. When we hired CGC, those same donors influenced the decision about who to hire. We got a coach who parroted exactly what those donors wanted to hear. It is a huge problem for a football program if the HC is not "The Man" calling all of the shots. What we need is a HC who will be completely in charge and accountable for the football program. We also need an AD who will support that HC and will sasiate the donors when they try to be Al Davis and call football plays from the stands. [/QUOTE]
