I heard her on the huddle today, didn't come off as a rock star to me. We will see I guess. If she does get hired and fails, I don't think it will constitute progress.
And you'll be only too happy to define failure and pile on.
Looking at the more recent AD's and their accomplishments:
Paul Giel--Hired Joe Salem, Lou Holtz, and John Gutekenst. Combined record 58-83-3. Orchestrated the move to the Dome which was about the worst thing to ever happen to Gopher football. Also, under him Musselman had a whole bunch of NCAA violations causing him to leave just ahead of the sheriff. Completely negligent with Mitch Lee, which eventually resulted in the Madison scandal. This former high school football player with all sorts of Minnesota connections makes a really strong case for himself as the worst AD the Gophers ever had.
McKinley Boston--Hired Jim Wacker. Record 16-39. With Salem and Brewster as worst football hires? Although the Black community was outraged, it's pretty clear he enabled Clem to run his dirty program as VP of Student Affairs or whatever it was.
Mark Deinhart--Hired Clem. That scandal under his watch set U basketball ball many years.
Joel Maturi--He gets undeserved heat IMO around here, but he owns the Brewster hire. Record 15-30.
Costly extensions to coaches like Borton and Mason.
Rick Bay--Did nothing outstandingly bad but really didn't distinguish himself in the short time he was AD.
Norwood Teague--"Mega-tongue" No more needs to be said.
What absolute joke that you're so concerned about a female who might not be good enough to keep up with these guys.
You have such great "empathy and concern" for minorities or other groups as a whole. But then you can't help but comment on individuals whether they be Beth Goetz or some black kid who gets shot. Then the true nastiness comes oozing out. Despite how hard you try to hide it by being "concerned" about PC or whatever, it's just a smokescreen for bigotry and complete lack of understanding about what somebody who isn't a scared little white guy like you might face.
