Maybe I missed something but what is Pete saying? Is he breaking news here? Guessing Blake was successful in killing the Alonzo hire.

Flake making it easier and easier to boycott next season and beyond

 

[caneworld]

Will see how good of money maker he is this coming up year with an empty stadium, billboards up and planes flying game one! Because that’s what’s gonna happen and his incompetence brought it all on himself!

I don't get this BJ, the uber fundraiser part... he lucked in on the indoor practice facility funding due to the Richt hire momentum... then lucked out when Richt stepped down....

What the **** ???

 

[Cribby]

We're all dead inside

At this point can you even be mad or care ?

 

[stormbrewing]

Soooo is the dream dead

Yes along with the hearts and minds of us fans. Go on a Twitter war vs Blake and any BOT member you can get the handle of. Get emails and deliver pizzas... it’s full all out war now

I think they fear giving up control, they love their shortbus riding puppet.

If you listen to Blake James interview, that’s not what him or Diaz is looking for. That’s why this deal won’t get done. They want someone who will report to Manny and assist. It will be some random no name person at the end of the day.

Why the he11 should anyone care about what Manuel thinks? He needs to be fired asap...

I believe that Dave Maggard shut down our nationally-ranked badminton program in the 1990s, for Title IX reasons.

****, ping pong?

 

[caneworld]

****, ping pong?

No, it was the nationally ranked men's dive team that he had to shut down

 

[mirvin88]

All they care about is money.......

Derp let's ruining our most profitable sport.

Hiring Zo they'd pay his salary in ticket sales alone from the hype.

They could have the "fundraising" and football revenue. Can't "handicap" poor Blake.

I think the word you are looking for is another yes man. Same reason Patke and Banda are safe on this basura staff.

 

[Problem2]

Booty boy tried using this as a PR stunt

Instead it backfired and turned up the heat on him even more

LOVE TO SEE IT

I don’t know, but I assumed he was reacting to what Barry Jackson tweeted last night. That they want to look at other candidates and will be in touch “down the road”.

 

[gabednconfused]

@Peter Ariz TELL US WHATS UP PETE

 

[CANEFAN83]

Or just bring in a real AD.

Bingo.

 

[caneworld]

All of this proves is that BJ and Manuel are just looking to distract the fans for a couple of months until the heat wears off...

 

[Genghis Cane]

Doubt Pete knows anything. He’s just assuming we fvcked it up somehow.

I'm not inclined at all to give James the benefit of the doubt. He's awful. However, if there is any hesitation about hiring Alonzo, it'd be whether James could find someone who can be a better bridge between football and the administration/academia. Ideally, the "chief of staff" can play the administration deftly and politically to amass more resources. Can Alonzo play that role? Or will he be seen as a pure "football guy" and nothing more? I don't know.

Since I'm just speculating here, let me offer more speculation about a guy who I think could fit the bill . . . Gino Toretta. From his wiki page, "Torretta followed his NFL career with a position at Wachovia Securities as a Senior Financial Advisor. He is Chairman/CEO of Touchdown Radio, broadcasting an NCAA game of the week on national radio. He is also an NCAA football expert on Sirius/XM channel 91—College Sports Nation. Torretta is Vice President for GAMCO Asset Management, working with Institutional clients nationwide and working out of the firm's Palm Beach office." This is the type of background (football + corporate) of someone that could quietly pull strings with the non-football side in favor of the football side.
