Message: [QUOTE="Sherman20, post: 5361589, member: 6357"] Wildhack could do it if he wanted, imo. He’s the AD. When insiders say that, I think they mean that politically he needs to get buy-in from the higher ups like Kent and the BOTs. Ultimately, though, he has the power. He’d have to deal with the fallout, but no one (save JB) would publicly come out against him if he fired Red. They’d make the situation worse. And if he had a home run hire waiting in the wings, no one would bat an eye. Can you imagine if Wildhack was fired for simply doing his job and trying to improve the program? Considering all the equity he’s built up especially with Fran and football. Yes, it would be a risk that you’d anger certain BOTs, but he must have full responsibility for athletic department personnel. [/QUOTE]
