I think the two are related...The single most important job for JH right now is to fix MBB and, from that, generate lots of new revenue.

Yes, that's what I tried to say.I think the two are related...
I’ll be happy to give you credit for not being an idiot.You're also welcome to cue forward to post #49 in this thread and participate.
How is it that Heird gets credit for not doing something that no one else anywhere in his right mind would have done at the same time?
So we're at a point where Heird gets credit for NOT being an idiot?
That's a damn low bar if a bar exists at all...
When evaluating people doing their jobs, two key questions are (1) was it within their control, and (2) was there a direct cause-and-effect. Can't connect those dots between Heird, Satterfield, and Brohm...Ask a nonsensical and trivial question and chances are, those will be the characteristics of the answers you receive.
Satterfield is gone - Brohm is here (7-1 and ranked #15) and it all happened under Heird’s watch. Whether or not you give him credit for those events are in the grand scheme of things - about as inconsequential as it gets.
Hiring Pitino wasn't quite as easy as you describe. Jurich may have made it look that way...Agreed. Like when Crum "retired" and UofL basketball was lucky RP became available and was actively seeking to return to college basketball. The #1 option was Larry Eustachy prior to RP..
The state of KY fortunately had the thoroughbred industry and RP's previous time in the state to push us to the finish line for that hire, and we didn't default to Eustachey, who at that time would have been considered a decent enough hire himself, but probably not have the same success as RP.
I think there's good fortune involved in all of it really. If an AD is around long enough there will be instances of good and bad luck under their watch.
How much luck has Heird been experiencing lately?...People good at their jobs make their own luck.
That's a low bar for anyone, esp. a guy banking high six figures...I’ll be happy to give you credit for not being an idiot.
When evaluating people who are evaluating people doing their jobs, two key questions are (1) are they close enough to a situation to comment intelligently, and (2) is there an agenda that would cause them to not look at a situation objectively. Can definitely connect those dots between you and your subjective analysis.When evaluating people doing their jobs, two key questions are (1) was it within their control, and (2) was there a direct cause-and-effect.

A fair amount in certain areas as evidenced by the renewed excitement that is accompanying a 7-1 record and #15 ranking in FB.How much luck has Heird been experiencing lately?...
You already gave Heird credit for Brohm. Name another since he brings so much good luck his way as a top performer...A fair amount in certain areas as evidenced by the renewed excitement that is accompanying a 7-1 record and #15 ranking in FB.
I didn't measure the ease of the hire in my post. I merely pointed out some of the luck that was involved. I will politely request you steer your straw man argument to somewhere else.Hiring Pitino wasn't quite as easy as you describe. Jurich may have made it look that way...
I threw up a little in my mouth once I remembered Ron Cooper, but he did bring and keep Redman back to the ville after committing to Illinois and OKI supported every coach while they were here except Cooper and Kragthorpe in their last 2 seasons respectively. I even supported Bobby till the end.
Satterfield is OK. Plain vanilla. Highly predictable.
But as for Cincinnati I always root against them.
How many times do we have to say it, Jurich was awesome, but he's gone, gone, gone.... Never coming back and move on please. I know it's hopeless judging by your avatar...You already gave Heird credit for Brohm. Name another since he brings so much good luck his way as a top performer...
Cooper was 2-1 vs. ukI threw up a little in my mouth once I remembered Ron Cooper, but he did bring and keep Redman back to the ville after committing to Illinois and OK
This smells like one of your trips around the mulberry bush where I say something / anything and you disagree for the sake of being disagreeable.You already gave Heird credit for Brohm. Name another since he brings so much good luck his way as a top performer...
I think the retention of good coaches deserves recognition. Jeff Walz, Dan McDonnald, Dani Busboom Kelly.You already gave Heird credit for Brohm. Name another since he brings so much good luck his way as a top performer...
It's early, and they weren't going anywhere you know of.I think the retention of good coaches deserves recognition. Jeff Walz, Dan McDonnald, Dani Busboom Kelly.
I wasn't the guy resting on the premise of good luck following good performance. Just asking for examples in this instance...This smells like one of your trips around the mulberry bush where I say something / anything and you disagree for the sake of being disagreeable.
Thanks for the offer but, I’m going to politely decline.
Really? Rumors have swirled around all three of these the past few years.It's early, and they weren't going anywhere you know of.
Not to mention, Heird's seen as an improvement--at least by Walz--compared to the doofus who preceded him...
Wait, I thought Walz had one foot out the door. After all he’s hired an agent, right? Wasn’t CDM about to bolt because he didn’t get the facility improvements he wanted? You were banging on about this a while back, and now they weren’t going anywhere.It's early, and they weren't going anywhere you know of.

Did you mean 2023-24?UofL finished the 2023-24 campaign with 13 different sport programs ranked in the top 25 at one point during their seasons, with seven programs ranking in the top 10 at some of its respective seasons.
Louisville’s 3.28 overall department grade point average was the highest in the program’s history. UofL’s 92% Graduation Success Rate is also tied for the highest in program history. The Cardinals have achieved 25 consecutive semesters with a department GPA of 3.0 or higher.
That's probably a typo but that is what was written in the article. However the article info is for 2022-2023.Did you mean 2023-24?
All that demonstrates is how much they want to stay in Louisville.Wait, I thought Walz had one foot out the door. After all he’s hired an agent, right?

Odd how that manifests itself in consistent financial problems.More from 2022-2023 in review.
Louisville finished 32nd in the nation in the Learfield Directors’ Cup standings, the 13th consecutive season that the Cardinals have finished among the top 40 teams in the country. The Cardinals’ women’s sports programs ranked 12th in the nation in the Capital One Cup standings.
Many sports at Louisville have successful seasons/programs inspite of the financial problems. The university having a lower net position does not mean that the sports teams are not getting the financial aid to continue to be successful.Odd how that manifests itself in consistent financial problems.
Win and they will come...
Imagine what's possible with more money. There is a very strong correlation.Many sports at Louisville have successful seasons/programs inspite of the financial problems. The university having a lower net position does not mean that the sports teams are not getting the financial aid to continue to be successful.
You’re one of those types 😂!That's a low bar for anyone, esp. a guy banking high six figures...
Getting uglier every week for UC, losing at home today to UCF.You’re one of those types 😂!
You’d get your mouth washed out with soap if you talked like that in Boone, NC.Golly gee, son of a biscuit, and horse feathers…Scotty is mad.
