[QUOTE="Techster, post: 897811, member: 360"] I for one am shocked TStan is out (or rumored to be). Before the season I heard that TStan was safe because of the pressure some major donors put on him to hire CGC with the recommendation of O'Leary. TStan has done a LOT with his fundraising and hires of non revenue coaches. It's as much their fault as it is TStan's. Football and Men's basketball is a the engine that pulls everything else, so those accomplishments get muted when our main revenue drivers are struggling. Of course, the other half of our mega donors that wanted another coach (rumored to be Ken Whisenhunt) also have a say with their $$$. If TStan was too influenced by a subset of donors, that's also a flaw in leadership. ADs need to hear the voices around them, but ultimately they need to make the best decision for GT, not to appease fans. Ultimately, winning cures all. When TStan was hired, I pointed out that he never hired a head football coach at any of his AD stops. It could be an issue. There's a LOT of politics and appeasement that comes with hiring a coach of one of your flagship sports programs. It seems like TStan wilted under that pressure and appeased people with CGC instead of doing the hard thing, which would have been the right thing for GT. So here we are, and our athletic department is about to undergo one of the biggest changes I can remember since I've been a GT fan. [/QUOTE]
