I get that GRob was a bad choice, but I feel like at least that doesn't rise beyond a "normal" level of incompetence. Coaching hires get messed up all the time. It's an art, not a science. Ours was just particularly disastrous.

The stuff with ED and Saturday, to me, are "never" events. They show a lack of professionalism and attention to detail that should simply never happen at a large institution (or a small one). And this has been a pettern with the AD.
 
Retiring #44.

Hiring GRob.

Shipping our marquee football games off to NYC. The College Football Playoff helped us retain some of these games (a la LSU at the Dome this year), and I understand we got paid big-time to have them at MetLife, but it was incredibly frustrating for the locals.

All football reasons, but those are his biggest F ups IMO.

His biggest win, which may trump them all, is getting us into the ACC. That was a huge financial win.

TBH I don't think this required a lot of skill on DG's part. He just didn't F it up.

But, he didn't so there's that.

I think he got us in by promising to play games in New York.
