Sadly, I agree with you. I just want to be (…hope to be proven…) wrong in that opinion. I’m not optimistic that this guy will turn things around, but I think it is necessary (with this coach, perhaps critical) to keep supporting the program throughout the bad times we are seeing.This post is extremely practical. But Geoff is making $3M+ a year to field a team prepared to compete. If they are not prepared, he should say so ... and communicate the measures and milestones to ALL stakeholders and demonstrate progress. (E.g., Year 1 ... build a staff, Year 2, recruit, Year 3 ... deploy the program, etc). To my view, he communicates nor comments to nothing other than vague promises to be elite. He may very well be elite ... but there’s a reason BDS is empty. He’s selling to an audience that is not buying.
My friends and family will laugh at this, because I am a pessimist, but I really want to be an optimist about our program. That’s been hard lately—especially today—but the bourbon sure helps.
