Why is no one talking about this II

[CajunRage]

this board can be crazy if they would have hired an old guy a bunch of people on here would have called him a fossil and said it was the same ol same ol they hire a new guy young guy and now you're saying he's too young for the job let's just be happy that we have somebody in place and see what he does

Guess that's why I fired back at CajunT. Nothing personal, just want to give this guy a chance before we ____ on him.

Dave, I think you read into my comments what you wanted to read. I was pretty clear in stating that I was hoping for a person with a more prominent background and resume, you substituted the word old. There is no debate that his resume falls short of what we had in Ken Winstead and when you look at the position he came from at Houston, it was a low level position. Now that it is official, I support him and hope that he is successful because that means the athletic program is going to be successful.

This position was badly needed. I've said we're about three people short in administration. The fund raiser will still be hired. That gives us more manpower and more ideas.

And, we needed someone in marketing and promotions BADLY.

The question is not young or old, but accomplishments and an ability to project future accomplishments. We do not want to be like TooLame for years hiring older coaches they thought were not going to leave for greener pastures, and at the same time we want someone who has already proven he can get the job done. Please no on the job learning please, please.

I guess if you call examining someone’s credentials in comparison to the individual that he or she replaced as “sh____ on them, then that’s what I did. But when did we get to the point on this board that examining someone’s resume and comparing their qualifications to those of their predecessor considered “sh___ on them? So just so I get this straight, one cannot say anything negative about our athletic director, but it’s okay to cheerlead a hire without examination and discussion of his or her resume? Okay, I got it now!

Everyone talks about Ken Windsteadt being successful fundraiser. Where did he acquire all this success?? ( not a sarcastic question btw)

Edit: Sorry for pulling a Boomer and not researching it on my own.

Okay, sorry. But I also see those that are completely on the opposite end of the spectrum and constantly cheerleading the most trivial actions and decisions in this program. I see no problem in discussing one's qualifications and experience as long as he or she is not being attacked personally. I don't know Stewart well enough to even consider to do such a thing.

Duggie, I'm surprised you never had the opportunity to speak with Ken Winstead. Ken was allowed to do what he did here and nothing more, but his resume was impressive.
