Finally - An honest assessment of the problems and what needs to be done. The honesty of Carter is really refreshing.

My guess is that after two seizures on Tuesday, Jerry's boss told him: Football or me and your kids.Why does no version of this story quite feel right?
Why does Jerry quit after a bad month? Why not move back to the box?
Something doesn't add up.
Carter sounds a lot like Arne Carlson to me. Arne is pissed off because Kaler wouldn't take his advice about a non-sports matter. Carter is not going to be happy with any U president who doesn't give the football coach a blank check for the program. You know when the regent who represents Carter's district doesn't take his calls he must be a huge pain in the ass. Kaler deserves far more credit than Carter is willing to give him. He is more supportive of sports at the U than any president since the 1960's. Kaler is putting his neck on the line by pushing the regents to approve the new facility project with only $70 million in private funds committed for it.

O'Brien's comment about Kill not being done on the football field adds more confusion.Why does no version of this story quite feel right?

Jerry can't take his meds and go back to the box?
He ends his career just like that? In a matter of 3 weeks?

I believe the reason that came out of the Killer's own mouth: his doctor told him that he was compromising his future health by staying in this position. My own opinion, he was probably risking his sanity, too. And I don't say that lightly.
He did all that in three or four weeks?
Or has he been hiding something for a long time?
So he goes on the fritz when he goes off his meds for a month? The answer is: go back on your meds and move back to the box.
Carter did admit that he was told by a friend to back off on Kaler because Kaler was a friend of sports. He went on to admit that he tended to react too quickly because that was the way he is wired. He did though make a strong case that the U is a dysfunctional organization.
Did you not watch the press conference? Kill said himself he doesn't want to coach when he's on his meds. He feels like he'd be cheating the university.
Thanks for your insight. Anyone who has worked in a college setting was likely nodding as they read your post. A great coach and leader failed because he was always able to outwork his problems and the myriad of things he tried to do eventually overwhelmed him. Too bad Carter was in Kill's office every week taking up precious time instead of trying to find another way to help. In the end, too many people let Killer do their jobs for them, instead of letting him lead the football program.Carter did admit that he was told by a friend to back off on Kaler because Kaler was a friend of sports.

I once had a long conversation with Peter Senge about why he hadn't implemented some of his organizational principles at his university (MIT). Senge said that was because academic organizations are the most dysfunctional and political organization around. He went on to say that it much easier to make changes in business environments and also even with government organizations. You could clearly feel Carter's frustration with the U's inability to get things done, make changes and to be run efficiently and effectively. I am sure it was the same with Kill. I am also sure Kaler has to be very careful in dealing with his very dysfunctional organization. The fact he went out on a limb for athletics is quite remarkable.

yet somehow uw, iowa, et al are less dysfunctional and they can win?
