He managed this professionally. First and foremost, he's managing it. And second but not least of all, he did it professionally. No matter if this is just an "outdated logo file" issue... or a production unit ___ clown messing with us... Dr. Maggard is approaching this correctly. If this happens again... he'll have a really good path to the next level at ESPN... to have another "professional discussion" with them.
You are describing a situation when we lost a lead. I was wondering if there were any other instances other than Saturday when WE did so with only a few seconds remaining. Also, one minute to go is plenty of time to come back. Having 12 seconds to go after other team scores to go up two possessions is something that I never recall overcoming. I may die before I see it again. However, it happened against the right opponent on Saturday due to it being an in state game.
So that's all it took? This has been happening for years and the new AD handles it immediately? (at least we hope it's handled.) How does that reflect on the previous athletic administration leaders?
Which is the preferred logo as of today or going forward? Can someone with close ties inquire?
Whether it is is "handled" or not the big difference is that someone within the athletic dept. made a public statement about it and what they did. Communication!
Now I don't think the A.D. has to be the one to communicate all the time with the general public but somebody within the organization has to and that wasn't happening. I think most people can take some bad news. At least you know. It s leaving people in a vacuum that has been the problem. Good start for our new A.D.
Good points... So it isnt the message its the messenger? If i say those things im tinfoil, but if u say it its an aha moment. Now same with new AD, he says it and its magically fixed? Hope its fixed but still makes no sense, it shouldnt take money or being in the inside
Like every other business, sometimes having contacts that you have dealt with in the past helps move the ball along. In this case, it may very well be that Bryan Maggard has several people he has dealt with directly at ESPN while at Missouri. This is more common at P5 programs that at the lower levels of the G5.
