You don't go to another person's house and tell them they're not using enough starch on their linens. Yeah, gramps is old and he mumbles and stares off into space and doesn't tell his old rippers at the table anymore, and he drools on himself and it's awkward and sad. But you don't say that s#!& out loud. You just nod your head and act like everything's fine. Laugh at his jokes. Smile.
You're a guest here, have some respect.
San Deemus high school? I hear their football rules.Buddy, you know where I went to school?
This is a terrible, nonsensical analogy.You don't go to another person's house and tell them they're not using enough starch on their linens.

what did Dickie V say that was so critical? I don't think he said anything that bad.
Good summary. That’s exactly what I took from itParaphrasing...
Dickie brought up the NIL-Thamel interview basically said it was a PR debacle and JB was wrong to call out specific teams and forced him to walk back the comments... But Dickie backed the sentiment of JB's statement that college b'ball is in a terrible state. He heaped a lot of praise on JB and positive comments and that he has earned the right to have a major say on how he goes out.
He also said that the program is in a state where JB has to have a hard look in the mirror... Dickie also stated he thought JB would retire last year when his sons left. Dickie also said that it was time for JB, the athletic department, and BOT to agree on a retirement and transition plan (i.e. I took that to mean to define a set plan and announce it publicly.)
It was Dickie's diplomatic and polite way of saying "it's time".
That is my personal perception and takeaways of what Dickie said. The comments could certainly be interpreted differently.
ADJW plant a seed Friday night?
Wonder if the comments would have still been said if SU was winning the game.The dinner might be coincidence, but I have a feeling that JW convinced Vitale to make the comments and that they likely agreed on some of the talking points.
That is 100% conjecture, of course, but I really don't think the comments Vitale made are done randomly without some forethought and planning. Whether JW was involved in the stagecraft of this, we'll prolly never know, but I don't think it's stretch to think he was.

the phrase im 99 percent sure he said that got me is “he needs to look in the mirror”.Dickie V certainly addressed the topic of JB's retirement and NIL. However, I'm not remembering anything that was strongly worded or direct. Does anyone have video? We have a lot of paraphrasing and recall. Maybe I'm wrong...
Yeah, it was said quickly as he rambled, but he unmistakenly said it.the phrase im 99 percent sure he said that got me is “he needs to look in the mirror”.
that’s pretty strong imo coming from someone like Vitale.
no other way to take it other than he needs to look at himself when it comes to the program’s issues

We weren't, so they were.Wonder if the comments would have still been said if SU was winning the game.
There is likely a reason all of the SU dignitaries were there. Let’s see the guest list for Wake. That will tell us a lot.
I'll believe that was said. I didn't feel Dickie was calling him out. I got the feeling he was slapping JB on the wrist for his dumb NIL comments and for JB saying he determined when he retired. Dickie also said the admin and JB will get together to figure out when JB retires and that JB should have a say. Maybe I was preoccupied by what Duke was doing to us...the phrase im 99 percent sure he said that got me is “he needs to look in the mirror”.

Somebody needs to plant a seed in JB's head that it is time.ADJW plant a seed Friday night?
We weren't, so they were.
