[QUOTE="RonJohn, post: 645586, member: 2426"] I do understand that some people never do the right thing. I do understand that most people at some point make decisions that aren't well thought out. The level of bad decision making related to MBob just amazes me. Some of this is rumor, but it appears to likely be true: If there was financial support to get rid of CPJ, then why wait for the buyout to go down? Get the large donors who wanted CPJ gone to put up the money to pay him off. MBob was supposed to be the leader of the GT Athletic Association. If he had presented a vision of GT football and where he planned to take it, that would have worked much better for support to replace CPJ than behind the scenes shenanigans. Did he need support from more people on the GTAA board? If so, I would think that those people would know and understand a lot more about the behind the scenes actions/issues than we do. Did he need the support of fans? I don't see how. Also, as I stated if he is the leader of the GTAA and can present a vision and have the fans follow him then shenanigans aren't necessary. Did he believe that CPJ would fold at the first sign of pressure? I have only met CPJ a couple of times at handshaking type events and do not know him personally. However, from what I do know about him I find it hard to believe that anyone would think that he has a fold under pressure type of personality. Why ignore large donations from some "big money" donors because of an understanding that other "big money" donors will donate if CPJ leaves. If all of the rumors are true as to timing and names of some of the people involved, TStan was able to accept the $4 million donation to upgrade the locker rooms (That MBob turned down) and still able to get a $5 million donation from the "big money" donor who wanted CPJ gone after CPJ left. Allowing the football team to suffer didn't help MBob gain a $5 million donation. Allowing a "big money" donor to help the football team didn't prevent TStan from getting that $5 million in the end.
