Message: [QUOTE="richmondcuse03, post: 5709747, member: 984"] The rumor is - they had their preferred candidate. They blame others for the negative article / fan backlash against Lyke. Rather than admit they were wrong about their preference for a totally incompetent candidate, they spiked other donors' preferred candidate as a revenge/power play. Unclear whether the "compromise" candidate is someone they viewed as weak and they could control or if it was genuinely the best person for the role. I think we will know more if Lyke remains in a senior role on staff reporting to the new AD. If she does, I think that was clearly a condition on hiring Blair was he find a role for HL. If she's gone, I'll feel better about Blair. [/QUOTE]
