He doesn't and probably isn't requesting that. I suspect Mario wants Zo to run the football office. I imagine that Oregon has the money to build a large staff.

Of course, others were involved with fundraising and ticket sales. I am not suggesting that Blake has done well in his current role as AD. I was responding to comments that he sucked at every position he had at UM.

you got me. Blake was promoted twice by the board for being bad at his job.

Finding specific fundraising that occurred at a private university 20 years ago is going to be difficult. That being said, the below was taken from his bio and covers the last ten years. "On the development front, the Hurricane Club continues to support UM’s student-athletes and coaches in...

I don't let my disappoint in the program impact past events. The fact is Blake has held roles at UM involving both gifts and ticket sales. Blake was good at both of these roles. This, of course, should not impact the decision to keep him on as AD, but for Blake it is probably where he lands...

I know you don't like Blake and that probably grades any evaluation you would do of him. That being said, by all accounts Blake James was good at fundraising and ticket sales and at a time when we sucked at football. None of this makes him a good AD, but being a bad AD doesn't make him bad at a...

If you James you get fired and take an associate AD job at another school. James isn't good at hiring coaches but by all accounts, he is good at fundraising.

Blake James is supposed to be in the prime of his career, he isn't some 80-year-old former coach that everyone likes having around. Blake will either be the AD or not employed by UM. You don't take a demotion at his age.

Blake didn't have a choice. You either become the least relevant AD in the country or take a risk on Manny being successful. If Highsmith is brought in and turns thing around then they would end up firing James a few years from now.

You are not asking for a vision, you are asking for a specific change. The BOT should hire an AD and allow the AD to implement their plan. If the BOT is having to give specific orders then it is clear they believe the AD isn't doing their job. The Richt hire isn't considered a bad hire, even if...

If the BOT is planning on firing James they will not want the impression that any new AD will be a puppet.

At least members of the BOT are asking for the same thing you are and even the same candidate. It sounds like the BOT is aligned with many on this board.

If Highsmith goes to Oregon and Manny fails next year, then the Red Wedding will come to the Hecht.
