Shockingly ignorant timing on his part. I have tried to sit back and just let it all unfold without forming an opinion on MH. I was thrilled with his hiring of CBP, when this mess started I was disappointed but hoped we would be able to retain CBP, and didn't see MH being pushed out the door if this is how it ended. I was super fired up p*ssed off over what went down with football, but had started getting past that as I have grown to respect CDD and what he is building. But this nonsense takes the cake. What freaking ignoram*s of an AD would stir this up 2 days prior to an NCAA birth!?
I guess I shouldn't be all that surprised considering how badly he has mismanaged most of the rest of the personnel matters he's touched, specifically issues such as the signing of a contract where the University would be left up a creek 1 year in w/a two faced sleezeball already being accused of lying by his last employer.
I have really enjoyed watching all of the amazing capital improvements he has made during his tenure, and believe these contributions will continue to have a significant impact on our ability to bring in some of the best players in the country. But Lord have mercy, this move seems like a purposeful and blatant slap in the face to the entire program! Am I being too dramatic?
Just seems very simple, keep your mouth shut other than something along the lines of "We can't get into those discussions until the season is over and the NCAA has rendered its punishment. At that time, we will see where we are and what direction we need to go to ensure this program continues to be a source of pride to the University, its students, and fans, competing at the highest levels and winning championships. Thank you."
