Interim AD

[EastboundJacket]

From the “university side” per Pete Thamel

[BainbridgeJacket]

Clean out the entire ööööing organization

 

[GTCrew4b]

Explain please

The GTAA sucks donkey dick and wastes our ööööing money on bad buddy hires/contracts.

 

[EastboundJacket]

This is a good thing

Yeah, I couldn’t decide if I thought it was good or bad. But considering the state of the GTAA, I think an outsider is probably for the best.

What's the point of the big meeting tonight if the AD and HC are already fired?

Likely to get the whole board aligned on next steps in the searches.

Neville’s foreign service work followed a degree from Carleton College in political science.

From 1999 to 2013, Carleton suspending its football program, citing a lack of success and the ensuing financial burden, then revived for the 2013 season

Well, let's see how this turns out.

What's the point of the big meeting tonight if the AD and HC are already fired?

To suspend the football program and right the finances.

 

[LagrangeJacket]

“He lettered in three sports (baseball, track, and football) at Carleton College, is a former competitive body-builder and martial artist, and was the baseball prospect writer at The Sporting News for 15 years.”

Along with his professional experience, he seems really impressive. Also love the fact he reports directly to the president. Maybe we’re going to get some support from The Hill.

What's the point of the big meeting tonight if the AD and HC are already fired?

To officially tell the team.

sounds like he has experience in regime change, I like it

 

[Supersize that order mutt]

To officially tell the team.

A little late for that. Should have already been done. Since it wasn't, the team got their ONLY information by word of mouth and on Twitter. I have heard that there are a lot of unhappy campers, and I can sympathize with them about not being told, although not on the reaction of some of them to the news.

He also understands how important sports can/should be in the big picture also, and was a baseball sportswriter.

Baseball writers are some of the most bitter sports hating people you could ever come across

He knows the GT fanbase is very bitter, and he wants to change that for Stingtalk, umm the fans.
