Re: No Bob Goin on AD search committee?

[richard l. kandell]

I can't help it - as I've said repeatedly, I've been more worried about this than I have about the Huggins kerfuffle - if those really are the only priorities for the AD then we are sunk - there is no mention, certainly not specifically, nor by inference, of fielding quality athletic teams.

  Couldn't agree more.   One needs to look no further than the chairman's stated goals for ideal candidates: "a good communicator, has a commitment to gender equity and diversity, and has a record of integrity and compliance with NCAA regulations.  The new AD also must support president Nancy Zimpher's UC/21 academic plan."

  My god almighty.   If you believe that the athletic department's #1 priority and biggest need for leadership right now is for someone to correct the terrible state of affairs in Bearcat athletics related to gender equity and diversity.....then take heart!!   Not one mention of this person's ability to attract and empower the best coaches in the country, not one mention of fielding national champion level quality teams, not one mention of having the business/marketing/financial skill to lead revenue, fundraising and attendance growth efforts.

  These sort of "bloated" 16 person committee searches result in attracting career bureaucrats.....like Gerald O'Dell.   Under Z...we are now stuck in some sort of quasi fascist state of political correctness.   The only people who can can continue to take this sort of stuff have to be so drunk on Z's coolaid it's not even funny.  She must go.    A committee like this would have NEVER hired a Bob Goin..........a man who accomplished more as AD than anyone in the history of the school.  Heaven help us all.
