She has more than my vote of confidence! Dispensing of the ‘good old boy’ network that has plagued our AD for decades was needed and shows a lot of brass!JonnyCienPesos wrote: ↑March 28th, 2024, 4:46 pmIf you take away all of the good things she has done and only consider the hires that she hasn’t made yet then it becomes clear that she sucks.

You know if she holds her administrative staff accountable, she’ll hold her coaches accountable as well.
My only concern is she has a huge uphill battle. She might be 3 years too late, but if anyone can move us forward in this very challenging time, she is the one that will do it.

Re: Not a Fan of Sabua Thus Far
Why get worked up about the whole Kayla Ard thing? She was a terrible coach. And, if the rumors are true, not a great human, either. Did she deserve to get fired the way she did? Did she throw Sabau under the bus? Who cares? Give Sabau a little more time before a judgment is made. She, at the very least, deserves that.BasketballAgg wrote: ↑March 28th, 2024, 1:09 pmHasn’t really done anything since arriving, when she has had something to do it’s ended terribly (Kayla Ard).
And now, with her first BIG decision as AD, she hires 62 year old, never even been past Kansas to recruit, play pussy Odomball Tod K?? All because he coaches at her hometown university?
I don’t know, I’m not impressed, and I’m wishing more and more by each day that Jerry was the AD.

I met with Diana last December, and I'm very, very impressed with her intellect, her experience and her intentions to elevate AGGIE Athletics in total.
The Ard debacle began with a bad hire by our former A D. Enough said, except we really don't yet know who the next AGGIE Basket Ball H C will be, now do we.

She is still in the prove it stage for me. I’m not in nor out on her. I have heard that much of the AD staff really struggled with her and her management style. However that was a few months ago, so things may have improved.

Re: Not a Fan of Sabua Thus Far
The less the AD is in my life, the better I feel. I want Football and Basketball. Not university politics.
I don’t believe for a second the University fired her and then made her go on stage. If they allowed her on stage after firing her (as opposed to being upfront earlier that she would be fired) it was to let her publicly show love to her team. Instead she took the passive aggressive route.
I’m more inclined to believe they were upfront awhile ago. I don’t follow women’s hoop but man were the scores painful to see.

The basketball hire is a wait and see.
The w basketball firing, i have no issue with it. She should've been fired a long time ago. It was kind to let her coach that long. Probably far too kind.
Scheduling along with the other MWC teams, Oregon State and Washington State is also a mistake. We should've blackballed them just like we should've blackballed YBU.
So she's been hit and miss. The good news is that Bovee is not our AD. That would be a total disaster. He's already damn near ruined our athletics programs. If she fires him then she'll make up for a couple of failings.

Being held accountable when historically you had no accountability would do that to people!
BULLSEYE!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It is Decades past time when the sliders on the USU A D staff could do little and still enjoy a paycheck. Diana will hold staffers accountable. I've seen only a handful who really pulled their weight at USU.... and I've been a fan and booster for quite some time.

Re: Not a Fan of Sabua Thus Far
I don't even know where to start with that one. First, that was an MWC decision, not a Sabau decision. Second, we are getting a ton of money for playing those games. Third, the goal is to add WSU/OSU to the MWC (or reverse merge the MWC into the PAC). Shivving these schools when they are down would be a great way to prevent that from happening. And it also doesn't benefit the conference to weaken two schools that are likely to eventually join the conference. So I definitely think it was the correct decision, and it appears that a majority of MWC coaches/AD's/presidents agree with me.AggieFBObsession wrote: ↑March 29th, 2024, 1:25 amI'm here also.

Second, we are getting a ton of money for playing those games. Third, the goal is to add WSU/OSU to the MWC (or reverse merge the MWC into the PAC). Shivving these schools when they are down would be a great way to prevent that from happening. And it also doesn't benefit the conference to weaken two schools that are likely to eventually join the conference. So I definitely think it was the correct decision, and it appears that a majority of MWC coaches/AD's/presidents agree with me.AggieFBObsession wrote: ↑March 29th, 2024, 1:25 amI'm here also.

The basketball hire is a wait and see.
The w basketball firing, i have no issue with it. She should've been fired a long time ago. It was kind to let her coach that long. Probably far too kind.
Scheduling along with the other MWC teams, Oregon State and Washington State is also a mistake. We should've blackballed them just like we should've blackballed YBU.
So she's been hit and miss. The good news is that Bovee is not our AD. That would be a total disaster. He's already damn near ruined our athletics programs. If she fires him then she'll make up for a couple of failings.
What's your source on the MWC getting a "ton of money"?
If Oregon State and Washington State felt that the MWC was their future they would've joined already.

Diana knows what she is doing. I only know this because our ad office say they are uncomfortable with the changes.
Bing that’s all I need to hear.
She’s doing it.

I'm actually really smart, probably smarter than you are so if you disagree with what I have stated in this post, you are likely wrong (and dumb).

If you take away all of the good things she has done and only consider the hires that she hasn’t made yet then it becomes clear that she sucks.

Re: Not a Fan of Sabua Thus Far
She is working on another high profile 2-for-1. I don’t know if this next one will happen, but let’s say that it’s a team that I would have expected to never play in Logan.LarryTheAggie wrote: ↑March 29th, 2024, 6:03 amThe Utah game is a home and home plus a money game.

Very different from a traditional 2 for 1.

Re: Not a Fan of Sabua Thus Far
No. I’ll leave it at that in terms of additional detail, except that I’ll also say that there are surely dozens of people who have as much or more information than I do about this possible series.
I haven’t heard more about this since about a month ago.
I tend to think this other 2-for-1 won’t happen (just my speculation), but it’s much a much higher profile than the Wake Forest series a while back.
