Sometimes you have to go down before you can go up....

This is true in sports, life, and business....there's lots of examples I could cite here but I doubt many here could grasp many of them...maybe the NBA draft lottery or rock climbing.....yes this includes expediting Martin out of a position I never thought he deserved in the first place............a somewhat more complex example is the stock market ....one that immediately comes to mind is when Warren Buffett bought 5% of IBM stock for Berkshire Hathaway in 2011 in hopes that it would drop or at least languish thus triggering activities which make the stock/company stronger on the whole and or in the long run...

I disagree. Buffet bought IBM once he thought is was advantageous to do so just like he's done many times before and why he's a self-made billionaire. I'm not really sure why his biggest holding is Wells Fargo but I have a big holding in that to just because he does. Same with DaVita, must be something there. I don't usually question genius once I've found it I just try to get a seat on the train.

Now, back to your stance on losing just so Martin will be fired. That's a slippery slope normally navigated by fairweather fans. You'll want the same for the next guy if he..A)wasn't the guy you wanted in the first place..or...B)Does'nt do what 'you think he should've done' in 2-3 years. Of course, we'll never hear a solution from you because you don't have one. But, we'll hear a lot of background noise wont we?

I appreciate your take on Buffett (2 T's) but not your opinion of my position regarding a basketball coach....I never wanted Martin as our coach....if he wins the NCAA championship this year I still don't want him representing my university...the one where I have my degree from, and have supported in a multitude of ways, both the athletic and academic departments for 35+ years....I expect more from my universities leaders than what he offers...and that's also true of Butch Jones...one could say my priorities are higher than most or perhaps they're just different...
I want a visionary, someone with original thought, an effective communicator, intellect, character, a quiet confidence and a leader through actions and results not words...
