Soooo, Conor Grossman simply called up Joel Maturi today and got the full scoop?

Yup.

Says it all.

Really zeroed in on the fact his family is from the Midwest and that he might not have been comfortable in the East.

I felt that way about him since day one.

In this day and age, there is no way to handle it well. There's an old cliche, "its not personal, it's business". A lot of folks on this board take everything so personal. He took a job, and stayed for almost a year. Decided he could do better. For whatever reason, pay, hated the area, hated the people he was working with etc. I dont get why this board gets so emotional about people leaving for what they perceive to be greener pastures.

I guarantee you EVERYONE in this board would leave their current job for a competitor if they got a 20% plus raise. Every single one.

I guess I am in the minority again. Oh wait I'm a female posting on a male dominated sports forum.;)

And maybe, just maybe someone got caught looking around and was asked to leave.
 
I wonder who Babers called first after getting out of the meeting and hearing the news? Syverud's office?
 
And in the Buy out Syracuse gets to play two games at Gopher Stadium in the near future.
 
No mention of Coyle's family issues from the President of the Univ or Coyle. Very rosy intro.

The Gophers have announced the hire, with a five-year contract paying Coyle $850,000 annually.
Search firms really cashing in on Coyle. Probably a 300k raise?

“I’m sure (the negative feelings) will hurt Mark, and one of the reasons I’m sure made it very, very difficult for him to make the decision that he made,” Maturi said. “But I think in the end … he felt, ‘You know what, this is a good long-term decision for me.’

I feel bad his fee fees may be hurt. But $850K should make him and his family better.

I was wondering if the real reason he left was fear of running into Shafer in Wegmans. :D

From the DO story:

“And he didn’t do anything wrong. He didn’t do anything that’s inappropriate other than Syracuse put a lot of time and effort into hiring him and made a commitment to him, and he understands that. But that’s the nature of this crazy business.”

And I'm SURE he would feel exactly the same way if he had hired Mark Coyle and less than a year later he left for Syracuse. :rolleyes:

do you think the boss who hired that exec is happy that the guy he just hired...quit??

I don't think so.

and as the AD of my school...that spineless mothaflucker works for 'me'...and now all that work and $$ spent to hire his lame arse is out the Fn window as we have to do this all over again.

him.

It means he hired a good in demand candidate who was/is getting opportunities elsewhere. Again, why take it so personal? Congratulate the guy and move on.

I have been at my firm for a bit over a year. Since I have been here I have formally declined two offers of employment elsewhere. These were totally unsolicited offers made by people I have worked with in the past. I'm sure my boss would have been upset if I took one of those, matter of fact, I told him about the latest one and they made me a better offer to stay. He wasn't upset, he "gets it". It's not personal.

I'd rather hire really sharp guys that other people want as opposed to a bunch of bums no one wants.
 
Pretty shocked. But as long as Babers has no loyalty to him, it's not a big deal. I think a ho-hum candidate would be the right choice now. Already have the coaches in place.

The only inkling I had was that Coyle was supposed to be expert-level at fundraising and we (at least I) didn't hear much rumbling in that department.

Oh, he's crying. Ha.
