Hartwell potentially on the move?

A current and former head coach confirmed to me that a certain male administrator would bag on John whenever an opportunity. There was more of a divide than publicly known.

Sad for all Aggie fans that the Game of Thrones was played in our backyard.

A lot of backstabbing in the AD. Lots directed at John from various sources.

Tom and Hartwell were VERY VERY close, good friends.....Hopefully the money is in the bank.

I know Tom, and I’m sure he will follow through if he hasn’t already done so. I was in the room in March when the indoor practice facility was pitched and Tom ponied up.

I haven't seen this much drama since my wife's father passed away and we had to deal with her siblings. Man, I've lost track; who do I cheer for or against now?

Let’s just say Cockett didn’t “make” those cookies for students just to be a kind, motherly figure.

Can those really in the know answer me one question?

Other than the school’s continuous mishandling of sexual assault issues (a big issue), does any of the nastiness going on in or around the University right now rise above the level of petty, junior high-level (I can't express myself without swearing)? Because if not, I am getting back to work.

Seriously. The level of immaturity is more embarrassing than the actual actions (with the exception of the sexual assault stuff which I agree is a big deal.

This is why a total reset of the internal AD culture maybe necessary. Depending on what comes out, mr or mrs outside hire might be the best option. A cleaning of the house wouldn't be bad if it restores adult behavior and a less toxic work environment for those employed at the USU AD.

The outsized amount of scandals (real or imagined) that Hartwell and Cockett have presided over in their tenure is alarming.

The end of Gary 2.0, Hartwell’s termination, Coach Ard’s supposed past (and possibly current?) relationships, and president Cockett’s ulterior motives in baking cookies. I am lost.

The cookies had microchips. And all this time we thought it was the COVID vaccine.

Nothing against Scott at all but I can’t believe this would be feasible. Would a major research university put a lawyer at the head? Why bring him in as interim if he isn’t qualified for the job? If I’m wrong let me know, I just would think that the president of a Carnegie 1 research institution would be someone with academic bona fides

It's fairly common for interim replacements to not be qualified to have the job permanently. Fred Hunsaker and Ken White are far from qualified to be the permanent AD but they got by on an interim basis.

I don’t think it would be permanent but I’ve been told he might be thought of as a good steward through the upcoming litigation minefield we’re likely facing.

He was the president of SUU and from what I hear he did a very good job there. That should qualify him to the interim at USU.

Though it does seem odd to bring someone from off campus to be the interim. If it were me I would make Dean Anderson from the business school the interim until he retires in like 2 years. He has done a real lot to raise the profile of the business school but is old enough and close enough to retirement that he is probably not looking to be anything more than interim.

I like that idea. His father held some notable administrative positions at USC as well, interestingly enough.

For what it’s worth, Scott Wyatt was kind of working at usu not too long ago.

On a list for possible interim Presidents related to USU that I can think of:
Scott Wyatt
Dean Anderson
Ken white
Robert Wagner
Larry Smith

Scott Wyatt
Dean Anderson

Larry Smith

How do you lure Robert away with the salary he's making right now with the Rams?
