Coach Search Options after Autry

Has anyone had specific interactions w lyke? Is
She hated in SUAD I assume w the way people are destroying her here. I don’t know her from Laurie fine but did JW hire her knowing all this baggage?

If the powers that be want a woman AD, find another one. Vicky Chun at Yale, previously at Colgate, Ros Durant at ESPN, the AD at Lafayette (not the AD at Cornell). Look beyond someone recently fired at a peer school facing of all things Title IX woes.

I really hope that is not a deciding factor. We can't play around w/ this hire-it's too important. Pick the best person for the job.

There is one poster on this thread I have had on ignore, but I am letting this jaded ex-girlfriend of the Guppy thing play out so far.

To each their own. I'm very happy with my decision.

I believe she reports to the chancellor not ADJW

What a novel idea.

Email her. She’s on the su website

he didnt hire her, the chancellor did.

In other news, Chris beard owns the longest p4 losing streak this season of 10 games. Not defending Red, but thought it was surprising in light of past success

Which really makes you wonder what the driver was for that.

This ^, I can't stress enough how much of a potential disaster Lyke would be as the new AD. If the new chancellor has any sort of a clue his first act is to get JW to change his mind on retirement, I don't care if you have to double his salary, Lyke is not the answer.

I get it. I wish he wasn't retiring. But knowing that realignment is 4 years away, that's a long commitment to ask for, for someone who will be 71 in 2030. It seems to me he wanted to get someone in there who will be there long enough to get the lay of the land and get consensus as to how to proceed. Just my opinion.

And to be clear, I think Lyke would be a disaster - not only operationally, but PR-wise also, given her baggage and history.

Hit up Senor Paco's for some cheap margaritas while you're there

Sadly, I am finding that during Ramadan many establishments are only serving alcohol discreetly, hence me having to room service the beers.

yea unfortunately the JW ship has sailed. We've got a new chancellor who probably wants their own person.

I don’t believe any NIL will come with Hop. I believe riches are being hinted at, but won’t come to fruition, particularly for the long term. Why? Because those people promising conditional funding don’t care about SU.

You may well be right. I don’t know if you’ve had any fund raising experience, but pledges are relatively easy to get. It’s the checks that are hard.

 

[Orangello]

The Victory Heights project at Schpitt which was Lyke's baby, is way way over budget and still not completed. This and her dislike of fundraising and NIL. Don't forget the Capel extensions too. Hard pass.

Musical chairs is going to start again in the next 4 years or less. If we want to have a seat at the big boy table we had better knock it out of the park with this next AD hire. That is where the rubber is going to meet the road.

So is Haynie 100% done?

 

[007]

Which really makes you wonder what the driver was for that.

This is the better question to ask. She was, without question, fully vetted. She was given dual titles - Special Advisor to the AD and, more importantly, Special Advisor to the Chancellor. There was intent in doing so.

This thread has become a mess. It isn’t this bad folks

Question - not specifically directed at you, 007 -- but why should that matter anymore, since the current Chancellor is leaving and will soon be replaced?

Obviously but that doesn't seem to be the way things are trending in the Athletic Department.

Is there any push for Torrey Ball for AD? From the outside it felt like they were preparing for him to take over by his media appearances over the last few years. Do they feel he is too young?

I could see him sliding into Herm Frazier’s old position.

It’s one of those where you freak out about how bad things could’ve been, but reality is this wouldn’t get picked up by Bravo or E network and even that has a bit of stageness to it

I think he'd have a Ball with that

I agree. I actually think Hop could be very successful if he came to SU and had the full backing of the NIL whales. Hodgson looks likely to succeed too.
