Subject: JC the man got on public radio and stated that there were enemies within his own organization that wanted him to fail. Need anyone say anything more? Imagine going on the radio and taking pot shots at your own board of directors? You would be out the door in 1 minute.
In reply to: JCC 's message, "....Frank has never aggressively marketed our programs in the metropolitan area, and he does little to turn our athletic contests into real "events" (though he occasionally responds to specific suggestions on this board on minor things like concessions). He resisted mightily our move from the Patriot League to the A-10, and still shows no interest in exploring possibilities for moving football to a higher league/level (let alone selling such an idea to the administration). He seems content with things as they are, and is happy to always be the voice of why we CAN'T do this or that. We need a CAN-DO guy at the helm, not a CAN'T-DO guy who endlessly makes excuses and accepts the staus quo as an inevitability. I agree that our focus should be on the future, but our current AD has a record which is deplorable (and I'm not just talking about wins & losses). His record is one which certainly doesn't bode well for a brighter future. It's time for a change." on Tue April 12, 2005 14:52:39

  • You make some good points, but I think that Frank's defeatism may be the result of dealing with an Administration that has long been indifferent or at least ambiguous towards athletics (as well as his management style limitations). He may have even been told to work within certain constraints and don't expect more than that given the higher priorities the University had to deal with. I'm not defending him or the AD's poor performance over two decades, just trying to reconcile how we could be so bad for so long and the person in charge of all that could still have a job. Frank may think he has enemies but if I were him I'd be thanking my friends for protecting me all this time, especially given the poor results, petty politics, and constant complaints.
