We should be concerned that the other schools in the league are growing their progrrams. We need many more financial resources than we have now just to keep up with the others in our leage. Good news is we are working on growing those resources. Regarding David Walker, it was not because we could not offer more money that he was hired, it is because David Walker is helping provide the coaches what they need to improve. For example, he was the prime person in putting forth the new state funding plan for athletics. He crafted a plan that helps all the state schools but has the potential to help us more than the others due to our larger enrollment/overall budget. He and Dr. Authement then got others to buy in on it. He also was able to guide us through the NCAA investigation with limited impact as a result. Therefore, hiring Mr. Walker was about money, the money he is making for us. A big misconception exist in that an Athletic Director's main job involves public relations. In reality, the job is really like being an office manager. Gerald Hebert is our public relations person now. Having said all that, yes we should be concerned. That concern is not because of the people we have on the field/sidelines. The concern is we don't have enough people providing more resources. Those that are providing support are giving till it hurts. We just need more of them. This is not the NFL where resources are equal and people come after you win. We won't win no matter who is coaching until more people get involved.Originally Posted by IHateLaState
