Update - Clarification from David Lake, 247 TODAY

[Zbrod95]

Frenk isn’t making the AD hire.

 

[Baba Yaga]

Between last night and this morning, phhh.

Only thing about this process I’m not thrilled with up to this point is that it seems as though they waited to start the search process for a new AD until after the termination of Blake. They should have had a top 2-3 ready to go and just interview them and get someone on board right away.

 

[Canesmia01]

Let's think about this. Who benefits the most from the narrative that there's a power struggle?

This is a great point. The notion of a power struggle wouldn’t be 50/50. It would benefit the old guard by making the job less attractive to guys like Mario.

 

[NC_Canes_11]

So we’re leaving a person in charge of hiring an AD and possibly a football coach, who couldn’t even tell you the rules to any sport outside of soccer.

The idea that Manny could have a job here next year, is insane and itself a disqualifier. This whole thing doesn’t make any sense at all.

If accurate, it seems that someone or something has finally pushed Frenk’s button. And he seems to be arrogant enough that when his button is pushed, he will make the decisions that he has power to make regardless of his advisors (BOT). Frankly, this is the type of arrogance you need in a leader because sometimes the leader has to stop receiving opinions and believe that he/she is the smartest person in the room and is the only person who should make the final decisions. Now let us keep our fingers crossed that Frenk has decided that sports are an important function of a D1 university AND that he believes in the Stanford, ND, Michigan model that a university can not be great in just _______ to be considered great.

I hope Frenk is a killer behind the scenes. He must be pretty ruthless to become a University president. That doesn’t happen by mistake.

Let’s go Frenk!!! Let’s ******* go!!

I am not a huge fan of lake. But I will say he’s thrown it down during this process

I think they have a top group of candidates and are doing their due diligence with the search firm

Frenk seems like the guy who did not appreciate his name being thrown to the wolves by GameDay. If all goes well with the AD and new HC then we should build a statue of Kirk Herbstreit.

 

[Ziggy]

Silly szn!!

 

[Dy-lan]

Need Frenk to be on this kind of time with this BOT

 

[RedPill Stepdad]

It makes sense. All that other nonsense from last night on Twitter just shows how gullible our fan base is.

what is gullible about fans making an example of those who accept mediocrity?

 

[Go Canes!!]

I can't believe anyone finds it strange that a struggle is occurring when there is power available. It happens everywhere.

 

[NDE]

Can't imagine these BOT members are making quality decisions outside of sports either. Scorch the earth

Deserves repeating.

 

[Salt]

Burn it all to the ground Julio. This thing needs a complete reset.

Wasn't Frenk considered a lame duck not that long ago? Maybe he realizes making a good move on this and aligning with the right faction will give him new life?

Which is why he has a team around him to do that for him. Let's not make like every school president in America watches College Gameday each week

 

[TheToadSage]

No need to make the hire when he is already hired

 

[SpikeUM]

For your sanity (and quite frankly mine) stop believing every frickin clickbait post out there, i.e. Ferman, Ruiz, etc.. Having written that, this is not clickbait.

 

[bandhammer]

I always laughed when the Wezzie's called them the board of distrustees. So very true and relevant.

1000%

He’s realized which side to hitch his wagon to
