If LT wouldn't have been pushed out by Fogelsong we would've screwed it up. Raffo would've been hired and we would probably still be in the baseball doldrums.

This is pure insanity and craziness. Spurrier talked to us and we had the chance to hire him and didnt. You're telling me Duke football was putting more money into football than us? No, no they werent. Yet Spurrier went to Duke. LT ****ed it up. LT was a terrible AD. He was overruled on some hires fortunately or our program wouldnt be anywhere close to where it is today.
If LT had made the baseball hire- it was going to be Raffo. Hell, LT is the reason we had Polk II. Raffo would have been Polk III
You can't give Lonnie Tinkle a pass because of money when he wouldn't pick up the phone to call back about a 7 figure donation. I bet every athletic director in the country will pick up the phone if a 7 figure donation is on the line. No matter how much money an athletic department has, no athletic director is regularly generating so much money in donations that they can't spend 15 minutes to secure 7 figures.
I always thought that LT was bad and was secretly working for our enemies, but this is horror. Cohen says he calls LT every day for advice. We need to fire JC immediately then. He can always get a Baseball job. 3rd-Base job at Arkansas State for Raffo.

Templeton (I know, but most of you guys obviously have no idea of the limitations he operated with)
Byrne
Strickland ( he only ranks this high because of the utter disaster that followed)
Cohen...although I'm hesitant to rank him at all because he is NOT an AD. He is a d:$& baseball coach that somehow managed to land a job he knows NOTHING about.
Never forget that Stricklin tried to hire Frost & Chip Kelly before settling for Mullen
