Why is it not likely? Just because he is a military guy?
****** girls don't care about football.

Does he care about sports?
Its not likely. However, I thought it was kinda funny when one of UM's plants floated a story on this board that Admiral Stavridis was drinking buddies with Butch Davis. lol

1. He apparently played lacrosse while in college at Navy and he's a Patriots fan according to his bio.
2. I was told that he and Butch are apparently friendly. I doubt they are drinking buddies but if they are even better.
I wasn't bashing Herrera. I am absolutely miffed by his fellow students who are afraid to ask a simple question about their schools (his beloved) football program. But if you have children in the current school system and are paying attention, all they are creating are 'yes men'.
If I was standing in front of Donna, I would be asking questions too. With the career I have, you have to make a call. Some people can't handle it and crack. Others thrive. Thankfully I am the later and don't care about costs because in the end, allowing a defective part pass on the front side costs lives on the back side. Especially true with flying tin cans.
Herrera, I applaud your efforts and I have said before to be careful. Last thing I want is someone causing you heart ache in the future because you pushed too hard.
As for the Admiral being a politician, that is a fair assesment for any person who reaches flag rank, especially a "Four-Button." However, maybe he can manage UM like the destroyer skipper he was, i.e. make sure first and foremost it FUNCTIONS correctly. As I said in another thread, I would love the input of the Chiefs who were part of his crew; they could tell us if he has real leadership capability or is a mere platitude man.
Being friendly with Butch could cost him the UM gig. As everyone close to the administration's side of the program has told us, "Butch is toxic at UM." lol

Being ex-Navy myself, I absolutely luv this comment.
