I am currently in a Town Hall with the Presidential Search committee members. If these are the people in charge of hiring and firing Coaches then wow we are in trouble.

I'm just here to mention Condoleza Rice and do my part to help them out in receiving feedback.

None. Not a topic of discussion.

 

[wherrera8]

What makes you say that?

The tone. The way they talk about Shalala. The focus or lack thereof on athletics.

 

[datcaneguy]

Any talk about the football team?

 

[Hurracanes]

If this is true, I would not be surprised one bit. The University of Miami and Shalala just do not get it when it comes to athletics.

Uh...it's the presidential search committee, right? The focus of the committee SHOULD lack discussion about athletics.

When they ask us what we would like in our next President- athletic focus should be in there. All we are talking about are academics.

1. The Presidential Search Committee have some of, but not all of, the people that decide on the coaching hires. The P. S. C. is only concerned with academics.

2. The big donors are the one that really call the shots. Paul Dimare has much more power than Blake James.

If it receives any mention at all, it should be in passing. ****'s sake, althetics is way down the list of priorities of a University presidential search.

Are big donors pleased with where this program is at? I haven't heard much in regards to that.

Clueless, which is pretty ironic considering...

Quick question, Wherrera...

UF just went through the search process for a new prez. They hired the current provost at Cornell; he'd also held admin positions at Purdue and the U of Illinois. All of these are pretty great academic institutions with moderate to nonexistent football/athletic programs. It's roundly considered an exceptional hire, especially in comparison to FSU's recent hiring of John Thrasher as their next prez.

Do you really think that their hiring committee discussed the candidate's devotion to and vision for athletics in detail?

I suppose you've sat in on a lot of presidential hiring committee meetings, hillbilly boy? Educate me on what the committee should focus on, please.

No not at all. Which is what I guess frustrates us.

Don't be so presumptuous. Again, clueless.
