But for 365k your asking someone to deal with the walking corpses in the legislature. 1000 bucks a day is not enough to suffer a day in those committees. Although if it was me I'd just form a force field bubble of committees to deal with the committees. That's about 5 days every 2 years.

Teeder11 Posted November 3, 2019 Share Posted November 3, 2019 Yet many of us sports bros would relish in the ability to pay a coach top dollar to attract the best if we could. Would $400-500 be too rich for our blood if we could get a football coach with the right stuff to get us to be a legit perennial Top 10 FCS program with a legit shot to go deep into the playoffs...or a Ben Jacobson type coach who could replicate a UNI type scenario right here at the Betty? But when it comes to the most important hire for a University, we start to hear about the need to be compensated based on the local household median income. We would never stand for this conservative philosophy coming out of Hyslop. Would we? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some would argue we are settling for what we can get at those salaries. But if we COULD pay more to get better candidates, would we stand for it?

Teeder11 Posted November 3, 2019 Share Posted November 3, 2019 My main point, which I did a poor job of laying out, is that we seldom hear about local market factors from us fans when it comes to finding/paying our coaches. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SWSiouxMN Posted November 3, 2019 Share Posted November 3, 2019 So this whole "we would get better candidates because the process is close" was a lie? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It really was never closed as the law prescribes. The new law doesn’t mandate that we know who the six currently are at this point. In years past, airport interviews would have been conducted to conceal the identity of the 6 current candidates. But since NDUS opted for on-campus visits, the identies had to be revealed, even though by law, names don’t have to be divulged until 3 finalists are chosen. I am sure the search firm had to let potential candidates know this, and is most likely why sitting presidents such as Shirley didn’t even apply this time. I shudder to think how much worse the clown show would have been had it been completely wide open like it was in the past . Gross. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SiouxVolley Posted November 3, 2019 Share Posted November 3, 2019 Shirley, on paper doesn't have the academic and research background for the job. That's why he is at Minot St. The PhD granting school matters so much, as it should be an AAU school. Granted, Shirley went to grad school at Harvard, but in education, not in a real science.

ChrisUND1 Posted November 13, 2019 Share Posted November 13, 2019 https://www.usafa.af.mil/News/Article/1964069/academy-celebrates-military-academic-career-of-former-dean-armacost-at-retireme/ From the article: Armacost was more than just “popular” as the Academy’s leading academic. His low-key charisma, egalitarian spirit and concern for cadets and their education was esteemed by staff and cadets. His commander’s calls typically began with several minutes of exuberant cheers from cadets and faculty alike. “Whenever he’s announced somewhere with me, I’m always humbled by the roar of applause he gets,” Academy Superintendent Lt. Gen. Jay Silveria said with a laugh during the ceremony. “General Armacost is beloved by cadets and faculty.” UND needs someone like this! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He seems like a fine candidate but why do I keep thinking about Tom Buning when he was AD? I know, different people and different positions but still from a military academy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
