From the outside he seems to be playing the middle man effectively, getting the BOT to pony up cash while not driving away respectable coaches by being the invalid we all know he has the potential for.

Still doesn't get a pass for his Mao-like censorship during the Golden years, but he's caused the jury to go back into deliberation in my book.

This is his hire, Donna is who is to blame.. I thought Blake was at fault, but when you think about the big picture Donna was his boss and neglected the fug out of football....

Who cares if you give him a pass or not? He is the AD and will be for a long time.

I didn't mean to hurt your feelings, man-hands. Your husband seems like an ok guy sometimes...

You mad.
 
Adidas demands winning returns....

that is a key reason for this turnaround in attitude...

They can design tutus for uniforms, for all I care ... they have saved this program!!

**** Blake James. He is a puppet.

He did what the person who was paying him (very well) said to do. That's not being a puppet. That's being an adult.

Thank you captain obvious. That being said, the way Shalala/BOT micromanaged his *** is pathetic. He has very little credibility and qualifications to run an AD correctly.
 
Blake blows. Always has, and always will. He's an inept clown that is in way over his head.

The recent turn around didn't occur until Shalala left. I think this new attitude of making the football program great again has a lot more to do with her kicking rocks than anything adidas has done. Even after signing with adidas, they still kept Golden and still accepted mediocrity. Everything started trending up once her departure took place.

What makes you credible as someone to determine what he lacks or doesn't lack with regards to being an AD?

To the others talking the man down, saying he's in over his head, please cite specific examples.

To those of us who have never been an AD at this level, please give us some insight by starting out with what a typical day looks like for him. He reports to work....no go, tell us.
