[QUOTE="RonJohn, post: 882469, member: 2426"] You and I have a different idea of "managing". A president of a $2.3 billion organization cannot be heavily involved in the weeds of ANY particular section of the organization. I agree that he is ultimately responsible, but at his level the responsibility is to make decisions and guide the people below him. He could make phone calls with the AD. He could petition the presidents of other universities if a decision to try to join another conference was made. He cannot take the time to investigate and analyze the pros and cons of staying/leaving the ACC. He could direct the athletic association to investigate those things and report to him. Neither of us knows if he has done that or not. Maybe it is a matter of semantics, or maybe you actually believe that Cabrera should ignore all other parts of the school and spend 100% of his time to improve athletics. Take a look at a large corporation. Is Jim Farley of Ford acting as an operator on a factory floor in China making chips to build more F-150s? If Jim Farley flying airplanes to deliver chips to build more F-150s? Is Jim Farley acting as a procurement manager and constantly calling the chip factories and delivery companies to see where the chips are? Is Jim Farley developing reports about the inventory of trucks that only need a couple of chips and the status of those chips? Or is Jim Farley getting reports from underlings, making top-to-top phone calls to the vendors, and pushing the underlings to get better results? [/QUOTE]
