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?

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

I appreciate your concern for UM athletics, but I think your frustration is misplaced.

Point is that the presidential search committee for any decent university isn't going to focus on athletics. They are concerned about the academic, research and fundraising side of things. They're concerned about whether the potential prez can communicate well with and can guide and direct administrators, faculty, and donors to increase the university's standing and advance its mission as an academic institution.

As great as it is to have a solid sports program, that's a minor concern in the grand scheme of things when picking a university prez.

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

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

Clueless, which is pretty ironic considering...

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.

Don't be so presumptuous. Again, clueless.

Tell me how I'm clueless, hillbilly boy. Again, please educate me on what the committee should focus on.

I understand where you're coming from, and I understand that is their main goal.

My point is that a lot of people complain about Shalala often when it comes to hiring and firing coaches and the downturn of our program, so for those who do, they would obviously want the person replacing her to be interested in that, and the committee who is in charge of picking them really isn't.

Tell me how I'm clueless, hillbilly boy. Again, please educate me on what the committee should focus on.

No. One thing I've learned is you don't throw pearls before teacher aids. You are incapable of learning anything so you asking anyone to educate you is ironic. Again, clueless.

So, in other words, you're full of **** and have no idea what you're talking about, but are too dumb to admit it..so you'll call me clueless but offer no reason as to why you think I'm wrong on the issue.

And my point is that this people who complain about Shalala are wrongly blaming her, for a multitude of reasons...in much the same way that you seem to be blaming the search committee for not focusing on athletics.

People who blame shalala are clueless as to the job of a university president. They're ****ed off because we've hit a few years of mediocrity on the field, and they see a liberal woman who obviously places academics ahead of sports as the problem.

But the truth is that Shalala has supported UM football and UM sports in many, many ways. That falls on deaf ears, though.

Actually, no. You're wrong. The problem, at least for you, is I really don't care to explain anything to you. Idgaf what you think you know or who you think you are. You have imbecilic tendencies and from your porsting history, you seem rather comfortable in your ignorance.

I don't disagree entirely with your statement, and I do think she has been a great president for the school; however, Shalala's priority with athletics has always been about perception, not results. Her top priority with the Football program has been changing its "negative" image and running a clean program. That is what got Coker fired, the FIU brawl, not the performance of the team. Which is fine, but this isn't a popularity contest. You need to have results, and under her watch we literally went from champs to chumps. Additionally, her raising the academic standards on athletics did nothing but hurt the football program. I am not sure how you can be "supportive" for athletics and want to win when you do that. You put the coaches and program at an unfair disadvantage. So if what you say is true that she supports athletic and wants to win, then you prove she is completely incompetent when it comes to athletics. In fact, the results alone already prove that she failed in this department.

We have and have had the worst administration in the country in regards to sports.

They are the definition of Re-active. The couldn't spell Pro-active if it fell from the heavens and landed on their **** heads.

Who is a leading Hispanic educator who would be interested in this job? Can't help but think the committee goes in that direction.

Why can't you help but think this? What leads you to believe they value a Hispanic candidate more than anyone else?
