That looks funny, but he is incredibly loyal to UofL from what I understood. Definitely not a UK fan.Education

Terrific.
If nothing to report why was the impromptu meeting called? I hope this is not an indication of things to come...
Assuming that Jurich and Pitino are still gone, it could be that they can't take any official action yet because of the contracts require 10 days for Pitino and 30 days for Jurich. Crazy what type of contracts are used in athletics today...I assume these aren't unique.
Don't know but he has experience as a CEO of a company. I think that makes him qualified. The ULAD is a business after all.
This is probably very temporary, way more so than the basketball coach because the basketball team needs a coach for the season and no real coach is going to come immediately (very few are available even) when there is no sense yet of what is going to happen with the NCAA. But the school should be able to find a real AD soon, even with the questions.
People forget Howard played and coached at UK...but it sure made him a conflict of interest lol
Yeah and I'm sure you stood up and clapped with glee in April of 2001 when Rick Pitino was named UofL's head basketball coach.
Then what does? It seems to me you would want someone who is considered a 'visionary' to run the athletic program. Someone who can see where they want the program to strive for and know how to reach for it. If that's not a CEO who has had success doing that, then who is it? Exactly what is the experience needed to become an athletic director? Please, do tell.
Glad you took the chance to take a shot at UK football while comoletely missing my point...but anyways my point is that being a UK grad has nothing to do with new AD's qualifications. Most people can do their job to the best of their ability without letting a school sports rivalry get in the way of their duties to "sabotage" the place.
Agreed.
Running a business successfully in and of itself would not qualify someone to be an AD. Other than both entities wanting to be in the black - an athletic department is completely different than other companies. From the NCAA rules, to dealing with contracts, fundraising, facilities, etc, etc, etc.
IDK. I mean my 401K seems to be doing very well in the last 10 months or so. Not sure why.
Mine as well - I imagine it was a crapload better in December 2016 than it was in December 2009.IDK. I mean my 401K seems to be doing very well in the last 9 months or so. Not sure why.
He can't do it alone and his own party won't even back him because that's the swamp fighting back. Think about it. How bad is the 'establishment' going to look if an outsider comes in and gets this stuff done when they couldn't for the past 30 years?
Can’t promise that this will be the last time that any sort of politics creeps into one of my posts but, I understand where you’re coming from. The cynic in me feels like there’s nothing getting done because the ideas aren’t that good and he’s not committed to selling them / seeing them through - he really wants others to do the heavy lifting and he’ll take the credit.
It sounds funny when you say it like that. I mean, we're all our father's son's unless we're our father's daughter's.
