Rate the job Scott Farmer is doing as UL AD

This is what I wrote in June 2014...........

4......more credit goes to the coaches for performance. He does get some of this. Also the Lotief issue last year was very poorly handled. Conference affiliation, comfort with Sunbelt etc, don't get me started.

August 2015.........

2......His strength is the on the field/court performance of the coaches. Otherwise he'd be a 1 and deservedly so

So why the downgrade?
1) More examples learned of telling coaches....."if you want the money for xxxx go raise it yourself". He is the exact opposite of what is called "team player". How is that having your coaches back? No initiative or drive to be proactive in solving issues with coaches......always reactive and offers no positive resourceful support at all. Our coaches deserve better.

2) Farmer is to fundraising as Baldwin is to filling up the seats. Pretty obvious he doesn't care or want to contribute to fundraising in any significant way. Out of his comfort zone.

3) Tier 3 debacle....incompetence in that he didn't know what he was giving away. That's an AD's job to know these things.

4) I personally don't care for being lied to......"discussions with AAC" are now known to be fabricated.

5) I can't get the explanation for not being part of recent conference movement "I sent them a Power Point presentation". Clear example of pathetic leadership/lack of initiative.

6) Boise home/home was signed years ago. Let's name all the high profile home/home agreements since this one 4 years ago in football; now try listing the high profile home/home agreements for basketball. best example is the Pepperdine return trip NEXT year. 1 other is Houston as the best home/home signed for basketball in the past 5 years. We play 10 OOC games a year, out of 50 games scheduled I can name 2 good quality home/home for basketball. Literally nothing noteworthy for high profile home/home in several years since the Boise announcement. Nothing at all.

Current Latech home/home preceded Farmer.
