Too bad Charlie makes too much money not being an AD at State
We've been turned down by 1 person- Wake Forest AD John Currie. After that- we are working thru the process. Currie was a longshot but you aim high and make them say no. We'll see who the next choice is
Based on what?
AD's negotiate contracts- just like lawyers do.
AD's deal with a ton of paperwork- guess what lawyers do?
AD's have to deal with boosters with money- guess who lawyers deal with on the reg? People with money
I could go on and on-but you get the idea. Charlie is more qualified to be AD than Cohen ever was
Maybe Pat Haden was a shitty lawyer, and Dave Brandon was a shitty CEO. It amazes me how people can make assumptions based on what happens in other situations. JC, anyone can take that stance in ANY professional footprint!
Mike Leach is a lawyer, but is he a great football coach? Rockey Felker was a good football player. Was he a good coach? I?m not trying to be an ass, but just bc you have the intelligence doesn?t mean that you will be good in that area. I know several smart medical grads, but in the real world, not very good physicians. That happens in all professions!
We have a JR. AD in training currently working in our athletic dept. He has never been a MS baseball player or coach, but went to many games when Cohen was our coach. He has never made a hire, but sat in on two meetings when Cohen discussed it. Also a State grad with 4 straight years & no community college. In two more weeks he will be eligible for consideration. Had nothing to do with purchase of stinky cups at Davis Wade. We'll get word soon.****** Hail State! Seriously, take the time needed and get this right!
I was just showing that it's no a completely off the wall path and has been done before.
Hayden was very successful with a private equity firm before taking the AD role.
Dave Brandon was a very successful CEO of Dominoes Pizza
How about we hire the best candidate, whatever the background. And I'm wasn't plugging for Charlie, it's just there is multiple paths for someone to become an AD. Some successful AD's come from the educational side and not the athletic dept.
Really?.I get what you?re saying. The fact is we have no faith in the decision making at MSU, and it?s well documented in years past. It?s a crap shoot when we make a hire of any kind.
AD needs to be innovative and pump more enthusiasm into gameday experiences.
No reason OM should be seen as a better time for football. We are lacking on gameday experience there. Basketball needs marketing energy as well.
And unfortunately this is the norm. Most coaching hires are not good. I imagine if you are 50/50 as an AD you are doing well. And the metrics to determine ?success? for the coach aren?t real clear. They should be between AD and coach but those aren?t known and they are a moving target based on fan support, expectation, etc.
