[QUOTE="Vespidae, post: 824391, member: 2957"] Ok. Fair enough. I haven't followed it for the last two years, but if all the funding coming in supports the program, great! What got Butch Jones at UT fired wasn't that he had lost the locker room (which he had) or that he was a clown (he was) or that he struggled with the local media and alumni (both who thought he was an idiot) ... it was the renewal rates on skyboxes and the empty seats in Neyland. My point is in ANY PROGRAM (sports, business, church) it isn't just who does the work that counts, there is a whole ecosystem that has to be appealed to if you are going to get results. If I had any advice for Geoff, I would say ... Consider your environment. He's not in Southern Cal. He's at a southern, conservative technical institute ... most of which can't match their socks, much less wear tailored suits without them. The Tech alumni hated Pepper Rogers despite the fact he had coached at UCLA ... why? He had a perm and did cartwheels and in their opinion, real men don't do that. (You can debate whether that is valid or not, but you can't debate that it was a fact.) I think Geoff would be FAR more successful if he spoke to his audience (of stakeholders) in terms of process, because ... that is what we understand. [/QUOTE]
