Keep in mind that the same sharts who think Folden is doing a great job are the ones hiring the next president. That should instill tons of confidence in everyone that the next president will be a real football-friendly individual.
It's going to be Stavridis.
Give me a percentage on how final this is. The last person I spoke with didn't mention his name -- don't know how connected this person is in the search.
Wait, is she measuring Donna's third chin or Blakes manhood?
@The Dude: There are four finalists. He's one of them. I talked to three professors in two different departments and two board members who feel that Stavridis is going to get the job. So I can't give you an actual percentage but that's where I heard this from so I would be at least confident. The other candidates have a lot of support but I think Stavridis will get the job.
@BigCaneAl: No problem. I would expect an announcement to be coming at the March of maybe just a little later. They aren't going to want to hire a president so late that he or she can't scramble their resources/money/best academic minds for the following year.
@Bigtip: He will be, by default, a vast improvement over Shalala. Career military man or not, he apparently fosters a very family atmosphere at Tufts where he gives employees enough rope to be themselves and active while being an effective leader. Every Tufts person has good things to say about him.
As far as football goes, his parents were season ticket holders. There seems to be some pre-existing relationship with Butch and even if Butch isn't on his mind, winning Miami football is at least known to him. He does not seem to be the type to settle for mediocrity.

Last I heard is there were four finalists. No names mentioned. They still have not made a decision though from what I've heard.

Hush. Keep that stuff secret. If they find out he likes football it could cost him the spot.
