Steve Hale Interview

[sportsfanatic21]

After listening to this man, do you guys realize how inadequate our people in power are?

It really is sad. And for those same folks to not even seriously consider this guy is atrocious. I have been leaning toward the Hale proponents, but this guy blew me away. Wow.

He basically said that everything we're doing is wrong, why it is wrong, and how to do it the right way. I guess our comfort level trumps all.

I may be wrong, My take was he thinks "a fundraiser" as the top hiring priority is a joke.

The way he talked, hiring a pure fundraiser is putting a band-aid on an axe wound. It's a simple solution, but raising money from donors is just the first step in what we need to do. There's a litany of issues we need to tackle if we want to be prepared for what's coming in college athletics because of the growing divide between the haves and have nots.

Please ask him why, in his written application, did he choose references in which he clearly had a strained working relationship. Does he think the negative feedback from multiple references cost him a spot in the top 5 interview, or was it other factors?

Ask him what he thinks Scott Farmers references and those he worked will say when Ulm calls, or does Scott think that's why ULM didnt hire him or Troy passed over him twice?

Great job BJ!

Excellent.

I'd like to hear our fearless leaders thoughts on everything Mr. Hale touched on.

[SlickRick]

I think we missed a huge opportunity, and quite possibly our last opportunity to do the things needed to move us forward. Its a shame we were so close to having someone who knows what it will take and actually wants to be here too!

He actually needs to be the Athletic Director not leading the RCAF. Then with someone he deems suitable for the RCAF we could really advance a long way in a short period of time.

Me thinks a certain person knows this and that's why he gets no interview

[Policarp]

The question I have is.. is it incompetence or on purpose?

Or both?

Memo to TJoe: Running the table in the SunBelt isn't going to get you in the playoffs

[SlickRick]

As excited as I am about our football team and our sports programs in general, its a real bummer to know we still don't get it and probably never will.
