I have no problem with this..... I am one of the few on here that thinks he's done a good job.
The guy inherited a train wreck of a dumpster fire. I don't understand the hate the guy gets.Quote:

No issues with it at all. He's been a Meets Expectations performer thus far. Hoping with this baseball hire he shows the first signs of an Exceeds.
Pure fantasy that most on here don't want him as AD. In fact it's quite the opposite.
Yeah, I'm not seeing where people don't want himQuote:

That on top of firing the worst football coach in State history before the season was over. Hopefully his football hire turns it around and hopefully he hits a home run with the baseball hire turns
I have no problem with him either. Don't think we'll really know how good or bad he is for another couple of years.Quote:

Was a whole lot of complaining and bitching about him before Lemon was fired. Even then- he only did what he was told to do
That is a big problem with MSU fans.Quote:

The only thing MSU fans want is whatever it is they don't have. I can't wait for fans to complain about the IPF having goal posts that are yellow instead of white and that the chairs don't match the decor of the Seal Center.

I am not sure exactly how many fans you are referring to that are griping about wasting money on LED. Maybe some online. I have not heard it, but I live out of state and maybe MSU I talk to don't care.
Bottom line - fans of all schools like to gripe.
Selmon unfortunately was coming in behind Cohen, one of the worst ADs, and people have had their guard up if MSU leadership will turn it around just based on Cohen screwing it all up.
I have no issues with Selmon getting an extension. I?m not impressed or disappointed in him because it is too soon to tell how he will do. I think everyone can agree that he inherited a mess and cleaning it up was not going to happen overnight. As another poster mentioned my biggest concern is that he is invisible and leaders are not supposed to do that. I am a supervisor in a middle management role and I am even always visible. The pros about him are his ability to make tough decisions at the right time such as firing Lemonis and Arnett as soon as we knew for a fact it was needed along with his ability to use funds to keep up with the times better than any AD since Byrne. I am still not sold on Lebby but he gets a pass for year 1. This year he needs to win 5 games or I will sour on him.
Firing Lemonis was a no brainer regardless of who told anyone. Selmon has done a decent job getting money raised. I am not buying with the notion Selmon is a pulpit and does what others tell him to do. If you guys know this for a fact spill the beans who it is.
Btw, I also don't think we are hiring an assistant baseball coach.
He?s not a puppet at all.Quote:
