With all due respect DJ, comments like this from you (and others) are ones where I just shake my head and sigh because this just isn’t how business is done.DerekJohnson said:

Intervene how?DerekJohnson said:

So Jen’s supposed to be the expert on OC hires?HoustonHusky said:Jen had a no-brainer hire of Eric Musselman and instead hires a guy who couldn’t take over for a coach who pees himself. She hired Jimmy without having any knowledge/oversite in making him successful…the John Donovan hire should never have happened because any competent AD would have put a stop to it.
The idea of her hiring anyone should frighten everyone.
It was a questionable at best hire at the time and the disaster it turned out to be was a contributing factor in Jimmy getting rightfully fired
But having an AD overtly micro manage hiring decisions by her directs … that’s not how things work
I’m plenty critical of Jen but not in this regard … that’s 1000% on Jimmy
I’m asking you to clarify as to not jump to conclusions
If I’m jumping to conclusions I’d expect you to say that if you were the AD you would have blocked and not signed off on the hire
It’s an approach
Sure buddy
Mr Anus gave a really good reason why what you and others are suggesting doesn’t work
Whatever -
Make shitty hires…talk prowess shit, get rocked by same team you talked shit about. Loose your cool..hit zero star walk on kid named fucking Ruperake. Claim you were just breaking it up. Loosing more winning less. Be an arrogant douche. Not appear to care about recruiting. Blah blah blah.
As a fan it’s just lame that the AD comes across as so passive aggressive here with the decision making process. Could have just said, we’re not winning enough. We wish Jimmy the best in the future.
Here’s to hoping Jen nails this hire. The coaching been weak the last 30 years except for the Weasel and Petersen.

You already discussed how you’d intervene by asking critical questions, etc.Tequilla said:

As mentioned, Jen is so far over her head she let jimmy do whatever he wanted. I have a feeling much of that attitude comes from her inheriting Pete and Pete delivered. Jen thought Jimmy would do the same and instead, the program is at yet another crossroad with an over her head, incompetent AD making the critical choices. -

Almost 11,000 posts and 95% of them are you lashing out at people, in a desperate and awkward attempt to belittle them with the goal of making yourself appear smarter or more successful, or whatever it is that happens to be driving your feelings of inferiority complex that day.haie said:
Everybody here sees it, little buddy. When you prattle on about STEM programs at a university you may or may not have attended a quarter century ago or when you brag about managing “white collar professionals” it’s so plainly obvious how much the people here who really don’t give a shit about you have gotten inside your head.
But you have a wonderful day. I gotta go sell some vacuum cleaners. -
He is only 61 and he was successful all the way through the end this isn’t a Mack Brown hire.NorwegianHusky said:Why the fuck do people want Bob Stoops? Hire him so he can recruit decently and then retire after 3-4 years like CP?
Let's not forget he retired for a reason. Just because you were great once doesn't mean the evolution of the game won't catch up to you some day.
Even if he won’t stay more than 5-6 years we need someone who can urgently right the ship with little downside risk.
Then next time we just need to not fuck up the handover. -

Also, Stoops seems to hire good assistants which would be helpful for the next hire when he retires.FremontTroll said:

ATBS, Stoops is not coming here.
