Who are some possibilities to replace Shalala?

[Ispyin]

I can't stand Rice on a number of levels but she would be a great hire.

I can't believe I just said that.

If Thrasher gets it, the faculty at FSU will spontaneously combust. Talk about putting the good old boy network ahead of academia. Would be a monumental error if the trustees have any interest in improving the prestige of that university up north.

Unlike private universities, state schools do usually appoint presidents based on the old boy network. Another thing is that it also depends on how many public universities in the state and which ones are in the dominant positions. To fight for funding, I am sure even UF would have some backdoor influence as to who gets hired onboard at FSU. It's a ruthless business.

 

[TedHendricksOffspring]

Look for the replacement to be a big time fundraiser first who will largely carry a sense of indifference with the athletic department. Other ACC schools are being largely considered and the elite academic schools of the Northeast are at the top of the list. Miami has Ivy and federal level connections and will look to those as expected. Zero chance we promote from within and LeBlanc has an almost cult like popularity and following at the school. He will be a steal fro somebody else. This will be a big splash hire the way most have hoped the football hires would have been. Miami is considered a top academic sight that can pay an elite level salary for the school president.

The successor will likely need to have a science background and graduate level administration experience so as to continue the growth of the medical school and the rise of the other graduate programs with emphasis on business, law, and marine science. The other subjects like history, English, and geography will catch up by default.

Donna Shalala built this school into an academic powerhouse. She invested an enormous amount of hard work and effort to make it so. She will not allow the person to follow her undo it all and backslide the school. Her foundation will pull someone who can take the school to the next level. She will have a direct say in who replaces her so expect her to pick someone extremely similar to her.

The ultimate goal of a truly elite college is to have essentially an equal number of undergraduates to postgraduates, as is the case with most Ivy's. Miami is on the cusp of that and the next hire will have to be the guy to push the boat over the edge.

She was great for the school academically, great for most sports, and borderline terrible for football and baseball until the very end. She has had a somewhat Howard Schnellenberger affect on the position of University of Miami school president the way he had on the University of Miami Head Football Coach position. It's a highly sought after job now that people will be fighting to get. Academically, the school sits on a step of elite company that she built and got us to and the next person will finish her work and take that next step. The University of Miami is lucky to have had her.

My ringing and completely meaningless endorsement selection to replace her is Dr. John D. Simon, provost at the University of Virginia. President Shalala has always admired Virginia academically and how they've been able to also field quality sports with the proper leadership while making financial, graduate, and undergraduate strides in the process. Dr. Simon has both Duke and Harvard/Ivy ties, an elite scientific background, and artistic ventures that can also raise the academic profile of the school. He is also know for superior fundraising abilities. He lacks the energy and political clout of Shalala, but she could lend him some political profile and raise enough energy out of him. This is the perfect hire. Other names I've heard are people associated only with schools ranked ahead of us or schools that have experienced massive improvement such as the administration at URI. Expect a hire from a school of that nature.

Rice would be a grand slam for the university but no chance that happens.

You think so?

Not sure if serious. There's no question. She's relatively young, brilliant, connected, and she understands academia and fundraising. She also is a major football fan who has obviously made an impression in that space as evidenced by her inclusion in the selection committee.

Some posts deserve two postings

As long as they are DT.

FSU is about to name a new president. They have 4 finalists. Their criteria is someone who will let the FB players party on. :ttdG2M10mxVZxan.jpg
- Richard Marchase, age 66, VP R&D, UAB
- Michael V. Martin, age 67 Chancellor Colorado State U
- John Thrasher, age 70, Florida State Senator
- Michele Wheatley, age 58, former Provost WVU

They're all too old. Need somebody in their '30's.

I'd rather have that guy from Duck Dynasty.

Extremely well written and on point.

I agree, she would be an interesting hire, and quite the fundraiser. However, I just cant Donna signing off on Rice.

 

[Canes_U_Pride]

I was just curious if there are any names floating out there as candidates to succeed DS. I would imagine that there a few of you who are fairly plugged in to this sort of thing.

What type of experience and background are preferred for a position of this kind? Could anyone speculate on what the short list might look like? Thanks.

Jimmy Johnson

I wish they had the nutts to get jimmy johnson.

who becomes the president doesn't really matter as much as who will be the next football coach

Meh. I disagree. As a person, he isn't well liked. His academic benefits and his shark like attitude are what make him popular with the hardcore academics. That's why I said it was like a cult.
