[QUOTE="Northeast Stinger, post: 61712, member: 1640"] O.K., I do not disagree with anything that you say but I want to offer a somewhat nuanced response. I liked everything I was reading from the article you quoted but then a small red flag went off when I say this quote: [I]“Factually, I was extremely well prepared and informed what the situation was,” Bobinski said. [B]“But I would tell you the difficulty of making the turn and changing the mindset has been difficult.[/B][/I] Not to over simplify but he at first suggests others might be making rationalizations (or even excuses) and then he turns around and speaks of the difficulties of his own job in this institution. The red flag comes from my intimate knowledge of a certain large national corporation that tends to changes CEOs every 8-16 years. Each time a new CEO comes in he talks about institutional change and those who have to change their mindset. It is not long after arrival that one begins to hear the veiled blame placing on others for the difficult job the CEO has. Eventually they move on without any real change occurring except for the hard working middle management guys who get punked with every change no matter how they adjust or what "new philosophy" they buy into. Sometimes there are simply significant institutional hurdles and one has to be careful about even appearing to blame others. But I don't disagree with your sentiment at all. I think Tech can recruit better and Tech can win more games and, over time, increase the overall excellency of the program. But facing some very real hurdles and being realistic about them will require both hard work and patience. And overall I like the new ADs mindset and agree with it. [/QUOTE]
