Welp... Laird Veatch is no longer an acceptable candidate for AD  :shakesfist:

It's really a dumb move for a potential AD candidate. Veatch could have distinguished himself from the other AD candidates by making the call that Oscar was done here.  But he didn't.  He even went that extra step of defending Oscar, so now when the team loses again next year, if Veatch is the AD, he's got an albatross across his neck because Oscar is now his guy.

Maybe Laird is giving oscar the thumbs up to cheat more?

I'm just surprised it took this long for this to happen.

Right? Did they try for someone through back channels and missed? Did they feel the need to say something now because they felt a little heat from Frank's success?

Maybe he was hoping to get Frank or Underwood and both kinda went big and didn't go home so he's seeing what the coaching pool is like next year since this years isn't fantastic?  :dunno:

Got to be it, right? It doesn't take two and a half weeks to decide whether you're going to retain a basketball coach, especially one you know so much about. Like, oscar is oscar at this point. I think we did our due diligence to see if there was a better option and decided that next year would probably be better given the candidates willing/available to take the job right now.

you guys are giving far too much credit to an athletic department who has proven itself to be completely incompetent when it relates to their coaches

This was never in question. They weren't waiting on anything,  I imagine they were surprised to have to say anything.

was it really a strangely timed announcement? It's almost a year to the date from this:

Isn't it possible that the Athletic Department and the AD candidates are discussing the pressing football transition and giving basketball a pass for a year, cause it's (barely) tolerable, and not the crucial revenue sport

Yes, because it is so very trying in a $100K+ position to have to distinctly focus on two tasks at once...writing a list of potential football coaches to one-day replace a legend plus finding a basketball coach that can possibly strive to even think of getting his team into the NCAA tournament every year.

What exactly is the athletic department or anyone else doing to address this supposed "pressing football transition?" Does Laird Veatch give LHC Bill Snyder daily cancer scans? Are the rest of the athletic department employees dividing and conquering interviews with all football coaches in America for the eventual day LHC Bill Snyder quits at some point?

I know your post was just a reason to take some stupid shot at college basketball but it is actually quite a critical revenue sport. Any revenue stream is crucial.
