Message: [QUOTE="Cusefan95, post: 5377776, member: 173"] As a serious question - if you think JW wanted to hire Red, why would you have any confidence in his ability to lead a search next time? My answer is that JW “wanted” to hire Red because the politics within Syracuse made Red the path of least resistance, JW didn’t have (and won’t ever have) enough political capital to overcome the resistance to any other candidate - and so he accepted what he knew was a bad option because it was his only one. On one hand that irritates me and makes me think JW should be fired…but in reality he has the skill set that the only people who have been successful ADs at Syracuse in the last 40 years have - so while it’s not ideal, he’s probably the best option in what increasingly appears to be a dysfunctional organization.
