Allow me to add a bit to what OCCC posted (and, for the record, Beta Blake is "BuildING Champions" which, in theory, could go on forever, he never actually has to FINISH building champions)... There are some Trustees who are naturally more connected to sports than others (take a look at the...

Just to jog your memory, this "Yale MBA" character is the same guy who got into an argument with you earlier in the year, when you made a (factually correct) comment about the Orange Bowl being a rented facility. He started yapping about the OB being a "purpose built" facility for UM (nope) and...

Yes. Sadly, some people can't differentiate on BoT criticism. In my opinion (and experience), the issue with UM's BoT is not "each individual member" (and make no mistake, there are certainly some members who are just not that into football). The real issue is the massive size of UM's BoT...

Thank you for proving that you don't know the difference between BoDs and CEOs.

Define "responsible". Normally, responsibility involves ultimate accountability, which is something that BoDs rarely have to deal with. And BoDs never "delegate" anything. I truly believe you are confused as to the differences between Boards of Directors and actual C-level executives. NOT...

Keep yapping, puppy. Now you're going to move the goalposts. Now it's OK to hire a "first-timer" if those first-timers were assistants under someone else. You didn't say one word about our ADs or our university presidents, though, because you know nothing about those positions. As for the...

Yeah, tell me about all the times when BoDs are replaced for "****ty products". And I'm not talking about an acquisition (which may or may not be related to said "****ty products"). "Is this a joke?" is the question that everyone asks when you rant about hiring first-time ADs and HCs.

Bowman Foster Ashe was a first-time university president at UM. Jay F.W. Pearson was a first-time university president at UM. Edward T. "Tad" Foote II was a first-time university president at UM. In fact, the only UM presidents who have had any prior experience as University presidents (or...

Doc Mallios and Paul Dee were "first-time ADs". Howard Schnellenberger, Butch Davis, and Larry Coker were "first-time college head football coaches". It doesn't make sense to make a lot of broad generalizations about whether hiring a "first-timer" equates to "caring". As for the relevance of...

Truth. And a Board of Directors comparison is just silly. Anyone who has worked at a high level in corporations knows that the Board of Directors tend to be fairly clueless about "****ty products". And they never lose their BoD positions over "****ty products".

While this may be the case for some on the BOT, that is not the case for all of them. And I know multiple members of the BOT, went to school with them, spend time talking with them at alumni functions.

Exactly. Remember the "Rutgers 1000"? And I can tell you that there are plenty of professors at UiF who do not give one single **** about the football program, and would be happy to use that corner of the campus for new academic buildings.
