Well, Vince (I will dispense with the quotation marks, as they make no sense) simply took on a job. It’s not his fault that the BoT pulled the boner of the century by firing TJ and even CRP without having all the facts. Even clowns can accidentally get something right, or in this case ok, once in a while, if even by accident. Not everything they touch is tainted. If David Grissom drives a Mercedes, does that make it a bad car? Are the university president, lawyers, accountants, faculty, administrators all part of the “clown show” because they work for them or were hired by them? Vince has to work against everything the CS has done (all the feathers they have ruffled) and, as you have noted, is struggling. So would anybody in the same situation. I just want balance restored to the force, Vince to step aside with a pat in the back and a sincere thank you, and Dr Bendapudi to appoint our new, experienced, AD. I may not get what I want, but it’s a better wish list than hoping for disaster, just so you can say you were right all along. I prefer my lunatic asylum to yours.
Tyra Doing His Homework
- Thread starter CardVille
- Start date
I think that's unfair. What more would you ask of him in his pursuit of Brohm?
Tyra put himself in a lose-lose situation with Brohm. He has spent his department to a point where the financials are almost so bad that it doesn't matter how much more he spends. The outcomes similar to "bankruptcy" and "bankruptcy less a million." Does it really matter if you wanna call either a "good job"?
I take neither guy "at his word" because they're public figures who are gonna give you lip service at some level. They have to walk away saying things that make them look good in the aftermath. You should ALWAYS interpret and analyze--why God gave you a brain.
And "Vince" is my shorthand for a fanboy AD who wants to be your drinking buddy as much as he wants to be respected as Jurich's capable successor. I find that characteristic in him both asinine and humorous...
That's not connecting dots rationally... You're saying "I like Vince--therefore, the clown erred by their standards hiring him."
With all due respect, that's delusional...
Getting the job done would have been nice.
And considering the stakes, spending $23 million and refusing to spend $24 million was nuts...
As a matter of fact, I wish people would stop bringing Jurich's name up. He's yesterday's news.
I like talking about "Vince"...
You’re sure another million would have done it? Source? What if Brohm wanted 2 million more? Three million?
Also sounds like you wouldn’t have fired Bobby thus saving the 14 million. Is that correct?
You'll never know what another million would have bought you, will you? "Vince" wouldn't find out.
And would I have casually spent $23 million in U of L's current financial situation?...No. But I've moved onto the next step...
Nope, just like you don’t know another million would have done it but you’re willing to castigate Vince without proof. C’mon.
That said I and so many others are ecstatic at the news you have moved on to the next step!! So, who’s our next coach and how much you gonna offer?
No, I’m saying just what I wrote. The CS may be lousy at running a university but just because they hired Tyra doesn’t make HIM bad. He must be judged on his own merits. He hasn’t had the time to be so judged....yet. I didn’t say I liked Vince. I just want to be fair, and I don’t know enough yet to make a judgement. The CS didn’t err, necessarily. I don’t think they know or care much about athletics and hired Vince because his dad played basketball at UofL and they knew him. When the last of the CS goes (Grissom) I think Vince will, too. Nothing delusional about that. Thinking Jurich will somehow come back and refusing to accept reality is.
Why were you concerned about Tyra because he played baseball at
UK ? Some of you guys or gals have serious issues.
Says the UofK fan on a UofL message board. Rich hypocrisy at his finest.
Ironic considering YOU are the one who first brought up Jurich In this thread.
Well thank you Zipp, for the lesson on analysis and critical thinking! Actually, my analysis was based on what we know for certain happened earlier this week as well as what we have heard from the principal participants, whose narratives match up pretty well and also match with what we do know. Your analysis seems based on your hatred of Tyra. It’s ok with me if we agree to disagree there, as it’s obvious that we disagree completely about what Tyra has done during 13 months on the job, or as you call it, “less than two years”, in some apparent attempt to say that he has had plenty of time to dig out from the myriad of problems he inherited.
Anyway, I find it interesting that you dodged my questions concerning who the next coach should be as well as what would a successful tenure for the next coach be for the next few seasons. But that will give you more opportunity to say “I told you so” no matter what happens over the next few years.
Go Cards!
All I know is money matters. And "Vince" evidently didn't offer enough after literally wiping his a$$ with it getting TO that point. It's nuts...

I got it the first time. The clowns have been lousy at everything but hiring "Vince". Makes perfect sense...

The last thing a guy does with 40K posts is "dodge" questions...
The short answer, "it doesn't matter", which is why I didn't answer. Your AD just set your football program back further than the millions spent digging this hole already had. Unless he gets up from the pile of poop he just fell in and hires someone completely off the radar that everyone will rally around, like I said, it doesn't matter...

That wasn’t possible the fans ordained Jeff our coach. Jeff should have made it clear early he wasn’t interested. He had two weeks to consider it.
I don't disagree that Brohm should have declared earlier if there was a good chance he was staying at Purdue. But it had nothing to do with owing U of L anything.
He owed that to Purdue IMO. And if he's square with them and they are with him, I guess it's OK...
I dont even know why you waste time and energy on him. He craves the attention on here.
He'll find anything to blame Tyra for.
He acts as if he owns stock in Jurich inc.
Dang Zipp, you need to take a tranquilizer dude! Ramsey, Jurich and Pitino cause all the problems that Tyra and the BOT are having to fix. Get over it!
