yea, fair point. Candace really is the one to blame vs. Kent from what I understand. If she is staying, makes sense why she was trying to help a friend land a job post Pitt fiasco.
He didn't seek the Michigan job. Their board prevailed on him and his loyalty to UM to take on that role instead of retiring as he had planned.
A friend of mine was hired directly by Kent a while back to basically keep an eye on the top dog in his department. I'm not sure who that was, but I'm sure I could ask or do some digging to find out. Kent created the position. He was paid a nice salary as well as being provided with a furnished apartment downtown. Also, as he lived in DC, he flew up Sunday nights and flew back Thursday nights. Now, this guy is one of my best friends, but I'm sure the University spent quite a bit of money in an area where they didn't really have to. My buddy had helped Kent out years earlier when he was at Washington University and was told, "if there's anything I can ever do for you, just ask." Well, he asked and, for better or worse, Kent came through with his promise.
Ahh that makes sense then. He was forced back to work. Thanks for clarifying
Donna also was a big fan of Lykes.
If Donna was a real professional we would know which kind of Uncrustable Haynie prefers by now.
Women in sports thing, maybe. Not too many in positions of significant influence. Given the almost unanimous negative views, somewhat odd to be the supportive outlier
I don't know if I'd say "forced". But clearly from what I've read his arm was twisted and they pulled at his heart strings given all that Kent felt UM had done for him.
Paulie/Steve discussed it on their show today.
Maybe HL just knows how to play up to people to draw them in.
What did they say?
C,mon Donna does a good job and she has been a good soldier.
Like keep an eye as a spy (ala Heather) or just a nice gig with minimal responsibilities because he owed him a favor?
All that matters is that ~14 people in particular read it.
There’s some truth in every stereotype, it wouldn’t exist.
Wouldn't that "top dog" be Candace Campbell Jackson?
You're implying syracuse.com has journalistic standards.
I hope, Nike has been meh.
He was setting her up for a job that was held by someone else, had her report to him alone and put her in charge of sports that someone else was in charge of while having both of them report to him. It was undermining the goals and mission of the athletic department, setting up conflict, undermining authority, purposely causing dissonance within SU athletics. The exact opposite definition of leadership. Kent did this all to SU while he was planning his own retirement and probably working under the table with Michigan regarding his new Presidential position there . He was on the ACC’s executive committee regarding the ACC’s future, making decisions etc - now he’ll be one of the Big 10 leaders. Hmm
Wondering if it's just bad wording here, and the his he is referring to is the friend. So keep an eye on the top dog in whatever department his friend was hired into.
