The simple fact is, it’s Rick’s ship to run and unlike at Georgia, nobody’s telling him who he can or can’t hire. It’s all 100% on him, as it’s his program and he’s the man at the top.
This is going EXACTLY they way it should.
Rick is building the program HIS WAY, without interference from the AD or the BOT (unlike at UGA). And certainly not from message board heroes trying to micromanage his hiring practices.
Since he doesn’t give a shlt what the BOT or Blake thinks, he sure as fūck isn’t going to care what some flunkie anonymous message board “experts” think.
I’m good with all of it. In the end he’s accountable, as he should be. That’s what any good leader wants. It’s all on him. He’ll either succeed or he won’t, but it’s all on him, the way it supposed to be.
The only thing I’m not good with in any of it is that our spend budgets are significantly lower than most any top 10 team because our revenue is significantly lower, as is our contribution and donation base. We need bigger bettter richer boosters. Any volunteers in the audience?
Solid post but I would like to point out one thing. You say he will be ‘accountable’ as the lead man with all the decision making. My fear is there really isn’t any accountability at UM. Look how long it took to fire golden. If he continues 9-10 win seasons with the eventual 11 win or ACC championship win, he will stay until retirement. UM will not fire him... ever. That is worrisome to me. That off-limits mentality breeds complacency and complacency kills.
It depends what your threshold is. If it reaches that point, let’s say it’s year 5 or so, and we’re stuck at 9 or 10 wins, not peeping the playoffs, then at that point it’s up to you if you want to continue to support the program or not. Assuming you are a supporter of the program (season ticket holder) then you don’t renew. You stop any other contributions.
Then your voice will be heard.
Money talks, bullshlt walks, my friend.
We’ve got circus clowns on here thinking that people that count at UM actually care enough what they think to change how they’re going to conduct their business, Rick is enough of a boss to not care. He’s going to do what he’s going to do without caring what Blake thinks, much less you or me.
I mean we have fools tweeting shlt at UM like that changes a thing other than irritating somebody. Nobody cares. Bosses swing their dlcks and run their business, they don’t care what some blowhard on the internet tweets or posts.
They pay attention when the money and attendance starts to trend down, especially Rick whose been through much worse than Internet babies throwing tantrums.
