Farmer - Schultz

[marine dude]

TheRoastBeef.Com bowl is a stepping stone, not a destination. Hosting regionals? Tony Robichaux gets 100% credit for everything this baseball program has accomplished.

The facility improvements all have different stories. Not to mention, we were 30 years behind everyone else in major college football. I guess we should give Farmer credit because Charlie Moncla decided he wanted to give his money to build the IPF?

The idea that Farmer would LEAD (lol) this program to a P5 conference is insulting to my and anyone else that has half a brain's intelligence. No one is clamouring for that.

I didn't say or reference a P5 conference.

So you're saying AD's don't deserve any credit for on field success?

Can you please state for the board the primary duties of an Atheltic director.

I think he does deserve credit for the success of the athletic program under his tenure. But it he also bares the brunt of the many things he was not doing outlined in the Alden report, his lack of fundraising (which is his primary responsibility as AD), rolling out a points system in a timely matter, his clashes with his coaches, not telling the truth on a number of matters, etc; You are correct, he should get credit for success, but it should be balanced with the negatives which are a much longer list if you are willing to do your homework.

My thoughts are this. Everyone IMAGINE where we could be if we had a true LEADER in that position!!! We made progress with this dude, think what could be with a REAL AD!

The laziness of the administration is fully evident in the last minute of the interview. Dave asked Scott if they are doing a cost analysis on joining different conferences… Scott brought up a point that I thought about the second someone mentioned a cost analysis for conference realignment, in that you won't know who's in the conference until the dominos start moving. This is very true Scott, however, it's not difficult to create a cost analysis for the current AAC and CUSA landscape, follow some of the realignment rumors and adjust your cost analysis accordingly, creating multiple reports for different scenarios. The majority of the different reports would contain the same info, but slightly adjusted for the different potential scenarios. Today, we know who is in the AAC. We also know who the BIG12 is discussing taking on. Create a few reports using the different teams being discussed as potential suitors and your job is done. Cost analysis is a projection, not an actual account. This shows that either Scott is so tied up trying to clean up the mess he made with the Tigue that he has no time to do this, or that he just doesn't care and it's "too much work" but either way, more mud on the face.

We should also already have individual reports of every single FBS school in the country. What it would cost to travel to said school for every single sport. If you have these individual school reports, cost analysis using hypothetical scenarios for potential conference realignment, it is literally plug and play. We all know you like to divvy up your work and pass it down to your subordinates, so get them on this Scott. It will make your job a lot easier, and make you look smarter in the process.

Famous words of Mike Alden.. "I've never heard the word "can't" so many times" (when dealing with our admin).

Thank God.
Media holding people accountable.
Something to get excited about going forward.

And again, thank you Scott for proving the "select few" on RP have been dead on since this debacle began.

Schultz is becoming the voice of the fans. GREAT questions.

How much bull____ did you guys hear in that interview? I've never seen an AD have literally NO answers.

Holding the GOVERNMENT accountable. It's refreshing.

Simple question for you.

Understood.

Hypothetical: if all else is equal, would the con list still be longer for you if we find ourselves in the AAC in 3 years?

Didn't get a chance to read the whole report...was that an Alden quote?
