The committee shouldn't know the president needs an AD to run his FCS athletics department that includes a top-tier hockey program?

If Faison was leaving a department that was humming along like a well-oiled machine, with experienced staff in all roles (not staff that just got outside review by 300 Twamley's consultants to see if they had the right skills mix), sure MM would be good to bring in and as he said in his interview, depend on this staff. That's not where the department is right now. But, now is not the time to bring in a guy (no disrespect intended) that does not know what he does not know. Right now you need an AD that has "been there, done that", that knows what's what, and can recognize strengths and weaknesses in the department. Alternatively, Kennedy did a very smart thing: He brought to his staff what he doesn't have, namely, a ton of NCAA/Athletics administrative experience. Good leaders don't surround themselves with clones or "yes-men", they surround themselves with people that fill in their own weaknesses.

They're gonna need a proctologist to get their horseshoe and rabbit's foot back.

FYP.

Hey, I turned off each NFC Divisional game with about 1:15 left in the game. So, who all y'all pickin' when ATL is at NO this weekend?

Not even the much beloved Subway Holiday Classic?

No votes. Slap-offs.

This is a glaring problem.

The music therapy department feels your pain.

You missed my question: What are you doing (besides grousing)?

So, moser, what are you doing to make something like that happen in Grand Forks County? You starting a business that'll add jobs and families and revenues? You raising funds with a vision of a place like that? Or you just grousing? You don't have to answer. The question is rhetorical.

Right there with Blues Brothers 2000.

This I did not know and wrongly assumed. My apologies to Madam AD @ UTSA.

With that on record, who has the better track record as an AD: the former NAU guy (now at UTSA) or the guy at EWU?

When I'm interviewing someone to run a multi-faceted organization I love to ask, "Have you done 'the manager big four'' in past jobs?" When they ask, "What's that?" I say: set budget made budget hired someone fired someone You're not qualified to run a multi-department organization (especially one with a $25M+ budget) unless you answered "Yes" four times. Can these four finalists do that?

This is a very reasoned assessment.

Hey, I brought up Frisch. No takers on the conversation.

And the Ten Commandments are eons old on stone tables that are like older than dial-up AOL.

Dude, internet rules. Learn 'em. See the fine print at the bottom.

He is Hawaiian. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tua_Tagovailoa Or is it Hawai'ian?

One million "attaboy" (watching Slap Shot) are wiped clean by just one "aw crap" (watching D2).

Um, just a question, but can an Athletic Director also be the Senior Women's Administrator? Or would that just kind of be "by definition"? Would you have to name another person, or just have a female AD also carry the SWA title? Not sayin', just thinking out loud ...
