[QUOTE="jacketup, post: 135138, member: 630"] The most important position at the GTAA is not the football coach or the basketball coach. It's the AD. Braine was an awful AD, hired because his wife and Clough's wife were friends, and we are still suffering for it. Homer Rice took arguably the worst program in Div. 1-A, and in 10 years or so, we had a football NC, a Final Four team and we were national contenders in baseball and golf. There were some ebbs and flows from there, as all programs go through, but overall, he did an amazing job considering what he inherited. In my opinion, he is the most important figure in GT sports history. Most importantly, Rice was a fundraiser, and the program was on solid financial footing when he left. Braine came in and wasted money like a drunken sailor--- and he was not a fundraiser. Hewitt then got lucky for a year. Braine (and his buddy Clough) gave Hewitt the dumbest contract ever. Gregory was the best we could afford due to Braine's mismanagement. We all hoped it would work, but it hasn't. This may be Bobinski's first significant hire, and it will be interesting to watch. So far, Bobinski has done nothing to leave his mark--although I do know contributors he has alienated. Let's hope the mark he leaves is positive one. [/QUOTE]
