confused, what just happened there

•March 28, 2003 -- Prominent KU benefactor Dana Anderson, a friend of Williams and former member of the KU Athletics Corp. board of directors, makes known his feelings about the athletics department turmoil. "If there are irreconcilable differences between coach and Al Bohl -- and I don't have any animosity toward Al Bohl -- but if a choice needs to be made, it's not really much of a choice. Coach feels like he's being micromanaged, and if that's the case we need to eliminate the micromanagement. I don't want to negotiate or debate it. Let's just make the change."

You shouldn't call people names. It isn't nice.

worked well for KU, fired AD, then coach left and got a better coach.

So if I'm understanding correctly you're pointing to that sole thing on the timeline as the reason he was fired?  Nothing about being accused of stealing $200,000, nothing about running an athletic department that got hammered by the NCAA, nothing about giving an extension to a losing coach after his first year, Bohl got fired solely because his basketball coach didn't like him.  Okay, run with that if it suits you.

Are we also ignoring that you're favorably comparing Frank Martin's influence to that of Roy Williams?

quite the day for the Beems.

Maybe she can be lucky #61 or whatever you're up to

Currie came in and fixed the $hit sandwich that the athletic department handed Schulz from Day One.

He bought himself a bajillion dollars worth of equity with the new university president.

Thus, the university president IS NOT going to cut his young snakey AD loose over a Frank Martin deal.   

In addition, the university president probably wants West Stadium Centre more than the snakey AD does.   The university president see's the construction fencing going up around the West side of football stadium and knows that his tie tugging young AD is responsible for much of it.

Sorry kids, but ADJC is carrying around an AMEX Black Card with an unlimited credit line in the eyes of UPKS.   

However, if ADJC effs this up, and potentially costs UPKS his athletic complex Shangra-La . . . that Black Card may get snipped in half.

i enjoyed this post.

Gottlieb on with him right now.  Praising KSU job

[Dugout DickStone]

KSU was interested, he never heard from John Currie - "John Currie locked himself in a room and made his choice"

Kietz basically saying he would have worked out.

Yep.  chicken nuggets will win 16 or so games this year, and Currie will do a "Mission Accomplished" level of celebration to let everyone know his hire worked.  Then Currie will be gone in with in 2 yrs.  I mean, realistically, he has to know 2yrs is the amt of time before ppl question chicken nuggets as well as  a solid guess at Bill's timeline.

I don't like Currie.

[Dugout DickStone]

Currie has hurt his value over the past 12 months.  He won't even get a lateral job.

IF:
1. Bill keeps doing Billthings

and

2. the BTF and BSFS facilities finish on time and are what is expected

and

3. oscar doesn't blow up a year or two earlier than expected

He will be able to point to the huge facilities upgrades, our FB success, and his fundraising success.  Then all he has to do is make up some lies(or truths) about Frank that can't be outright disproven without causing a major stink.  Gotta think that would get him in at some mid level SEC, or other football oriented, school pretty easily.

Any Pres. from the SEC is going to immediately pick up the phone to ask Bill how was he with the football program.  Plus, Frank is IN the SEC now and will absolutely tell everyone about Currie.

I am not a facilities guru but I think a lot of schools are doing upgrading so that isn't such a huge feat.

We shall see but I think JC has done some damage to his rep and there are a TON of guys out there who have not.
