A reference letter after getting fired is quite a bit different from getting a glowing performance review while employed - wouldn’t you say?
Tyra press conference...
- Thread starter ShortCreek
- Start date
Ghost, I agree with you that Tyra is already the AD and I think that is very unfortunate for our program. I am also concerned that Postel could be the next President of the university. The longer they drag out the announcement the more than likely that is the case.
I will not support them and I hope we can find another way to make contributions directly to the athletic department. There has to be a way to donate money without going to them.

Don’t you think all of CRP’s evaluations were positive performance reviews? Probably the majority of people’s are right up until the point they’re fired.
I know my situation doesn’t compare but one of the worst salary increases I ever had was for the very best performance review I got. It was so bad that I went to one of the owners and asked him why? He looked me in the eye and said that he really didn’t value the opinion of my supervisor at the time.
I would doubt your assertion regarding the majority of people who get fired but that wasn’t really the point. The point is that grissom has overplayed his hand with respect to Jurich, which is why the university is going to have to pay him.
Perhaps. But that practice doesn't give anyone a pass in any forum. U of L would be better off trying to explain their answers in another way than to say the PA doesn't mean anything...
Again, you don't know what he was asked or was done. You know nothing about what you're speculating...
If Jurich refused to do his job as senior management wanted, why did he get excellent PAs? Makes no sense...
So if his file was full of reports that he intimidated people and was difficult to work for but still achieved the accomplishments he had, you would have supported his firing or would you have said those people had an agenda or were envious of his success.
Neither.
At the end of the day, you have to determine whether you think grissom et al were lying then, or are lying now. I’d say - at least in Jurich’s case - they have several million more reasons to be lying now.
At the end of my day I have to determine what all of this means to me as a fan of U of L athletics. As others have pointed out, they have much more invested whether they are still paying student loans themselves or supporting their children. There is very little I can do individually and there are many more important things in my life to stress over. Is one side more right than the other, probably but the entire fan base is suffering.
I totally agree - venting some here is occasionally helpful. I’ve got one in college and two more headed there in the next year and two years respectively. This situation has made me reevaluate my priorities with respect to my disposable income. Based on what I see, I’ve decided to drop my season tickets in both football and basketball - 4 in each.
I will always be a diehard fan of Louisville Athletics and will attend multiple games for both (and baseball) but, I will no longer give money in the form of annual seat license/donations. grissom, et al has lost my loyalty on that front.
<== Then he was the scapegoat, my original point...
I’ve never argued that Ramsey and some of the old Board weren’t complicit. The fact that they are all gone kind of proves the point.
Your clown show continued with the Jurich PAs...
Which has nothing to do with a timely reprimand of Pitino following either of the first two scandals.
I call bu]] Sh$t.
You can not take bids on a hwy construction project based on specs of, we may build 4 miles or 10 miles. We will let you know.
Sounds good to me.
Transparency Lol.
Why hasn't our AD AND BOTs held a transparent open door meeting to discuss the missing revenue that the old guard sold on a misrepresentation of the 10,000 seat expansion.
Lol we renogigated the expansion to save $200 bucks for dropped thousands of seats.
Someone at the state level should review the open door policy.

Well, how could they give Jurich a good PA when he WAS derelict in his duties? Your clown show's no better than the old guys.

Perhaps them asking questions of TJ was the start of the bad blood. I’m not sure. It doesn’t change the opinion that a timely reprimand should’ve occurred.
I'm not debating that largely hypothetical issue--since neither of us know definitively whether it occurred. I am debating who was responsible either way.

"Bailiff, whack his pee pee!!"
You just reduced the collective IQ of this forum by five percent.
Not really...you have been here posting much worse for months now. Actually what Senore posted is intelligent compared to your posts.

A Senior Vice President that has almost absolute autonomy for his or her dept would be responsible.
As would his superiors then and now. Pitino was one of the highest paid employees in the State, maybe the highest.
