She is the consummate government bureaucrat if that's what you want in an AD -- probably not too different from Spetman. Alumni relations will suffer greatly, coaching hires and retention will take a step back, and maintaining will become more important than building.JSHarvey wrote:Enlighten us please.The Truth wrote:this "national search" for the next AD can't end soon enough. please stan leroy, get this hire right and get it done quickly - we can only afford to have this situation for a very brief time. jana and and her boy-wonder kent can't be left in charge without repercussions.
I'm with you. I'm not qualified to have a strong opinion of her because i don't know all that much about her. However, I do know that the board loves to be dramatic and overreact to just about everything. Duryea was the WORST hire. Weber is the WORST OL coach. Baldwin was the WORST OC. The list goes on and on. So I try to take stuff like this with an enormous grain of salt.Psych wrote:I'm curious why people have issues with her. Especially with her being recognized as a top 10 SWA.
Nothing like incest to make for an interesting dynamic -- breeding (I mean hiring from within) in every situation -- what can be wrong with that.TheOpportunity wrote:I'm with you.

I see no problem with hiring internally for positions if you have your house in order, you have qualified candidates, and you are looking for continuity. If you have the right candidate in-house already, then go for it. You obviously shouldn't just hand it to them by default, and in situations where we have hired internally I don't think we have.USUBlue wrote:Nothing like incest to make for an interesting dynamic -- breeding (I mean hiring from within) in every situation -- what can be wrong with that.TheOpportunity wrote:I'm with you.

Agreed. Pretty sure internal hiring is quite a common practice in many industries. Even if she was behind the "SEZ situation" that doesn't define her leadership ability.TheOpportunity wrote:

In regards to this particular situation, this is an interim hire. Freaking out about it seems pretty off base to me.
The chairbacks that were added in the SEZ didn't go over well. Very few people bought chairs in that section and those that did found out that the legroom between different rows was different.AggieBlues wrote:Uhhh pardon the ignorance, but...what is this "SEZ situation"?

No really, I'm somehow unaware of the situation with the SEZ. Too much concrete? Permanent old ugly logos on permanent structures? Merlin's statue leans a bit to the west? The blue gates don't work very good? The SEZ ticket office on game day is slower than molasses?
Well USU's President (who most on this board seem to think has been a god send for athletics) was an internal hire. Also Matt Wells.USUBlue wrote:Nothing like incest to make for an interesting dynamic -- breeding (I mean hiring from within) in every situation -- what can be wrong with that.TheOpportunity wrote:I'm with you.

She spent time over the ticket office if I'm not mistaken and saw nothing wrong with it. Another black mark.918AGG wrote:From the information that I have been able to gather, it seems like she played a very significant role in the SEZ debacle. That alone should disqualify her from the position... Sort of like a really bad answer to the "why are manhole covers round" question in an interview...
This is music to my ears.AggiesForever wrote:As the interim AD, she is not eligible to be named the athletic director. This is typical for administrative hirings at USU. If she actually wanted to be the AD, she would have notified by Stan that she would not be eligible to be the AD and would not have accepted the interim title so she could interview for the AD position. By accepting the title of interim AD, she has taken herself out of the running for the AD job.
I thought I saw it posted on the old board that Rance was first named interim AD, then named the permanent AD.AggiesForever wrote:As the interim AD, she is not eligible to be named the athletic director.

Is the President hiring a medium to get Stan Laubs Input?TheAKAggie wrote:I have a feeling Stan Laub, Ron Jibson, and a few others will be consulted.

100% false. Cal is promoting their Interim AD to full time AD.AggiesForever wrote:As the interim AD, she is not eligible to be named the athletic director.

I'm sure that AggiesForever is not talking about CAL, I think he's talking about policy at USU, which is what we really care about with this discussion.ratofallaggies wrote:100% false.

The SEZ situation (or debacle) is in reference to the first 10? rows of seats in the SEZ that were virtually un-usable last season due to to measurements, cheap-o quality, and impossibility of getting up and out of the row to take a wizz.AggieBlues wrote:Uhhh pardon the ignorance, but...what is this "SEZ situation"?

Is that policy a "suggestion" or a "rule"?AGinNEIowa wrote:I'm sure that AggiesForever is not talking about CAL, I think he's talking about policy at USU, which is what we really care about with this discussion.ratofallaggies wrote:100% false.
