[QUOTE="Vespidae, post: 969424, member: 2957"] Bud Peterson famously said that his only obligation to GT Athletics was to hire an athletic director. That's it. So, he wanted a Tech guy so that he could check the box. Stansbury probably would have made a good AD in 1972. If you look at most of the recent hires, most of them have extensive backgrounds in fundraising (like Batt), media relations (ND's new guy), etc. I think most people were optimistic about him at first, then increasingly ... unimpressed. The world changed. GT athletics is still run pretty much the same way it was in the 1970's. Saban's legacy at Alabama is that he completely overhauled how athletics is run. Gone are the days of boosters sitting around a conference table, making a decision, and selling it to the administration. Tech still has 5-6 guys that do this and until we broaden how financial development is managed, we will always have to live with what the decide. They were the ones who decided on the TO, getting rid of the TO, and pretty much every other zig-zag we've experienced. Note that it is only in the last 2-3 years that Tech even had a strategic plan for Athletics. If you don't know where you are going, any road will take you there. [/QUOTE]
