The AD cannot do anything about BMAs who love to reward mediocre and bad coaches with ridiculous contracts because they are friends with said coaches and/or because they feel sorry for them.Complete Idiot said:
The man in charge of Texas A&M athletics wants to play Texas in football, wants the Arkansas football series played on campus and wants state-of-the-art facilities for all sports.
He does not, however, want Aggie fans to manage expectations.
In fact, Scott Woodward invites grandiose expectations because he has them, as well.
"Frankly, my expectations are just like theirs," Woodward said. "We're here to win championships, to do it the best way we can and to do it the right way."
We'll find out pretty quickly if he's full of crap or not. He's got about 2 months to figure out his shortlist.Quote:

This is unfortunately spot on. After mediocre football and basketball seasons, and what looks like an upcoming mediocre baseball season, we'll see how much power Woodward really has. We have enough cash now we shouldn't be worried about keeping a few donors happy by letting them have way too much influence.PaRappa said:The AD cannot do anything about BMAs who love to reward mediocre and bad coaches with ridiculous contracts because they are friends with said coaches and/or because they feel sorry for them.Complete Idiot said:

I have no doubt Woodward would do a better job of managing the football and basketball program better than the BMAs if left up to his own devices but that is not going to happen.
Uhm, probably not going to happen with maybe the most talented team ever on the court next year.Quote:

Is that true? Completely powerless? No ability to sell his point of view through logic or charisma would have any impact on the Athletic Department salaries? No veto power? Just an observer?PaRappa said:The AD cannot do anything about BMAs who love to reward mediocre and bad coaches with ridiculous contracts because they are friends with said coaches and/or because they feel sorry for them.Complete Idiot said:

Expect a couple unexpected transfers from your "most talented team ever" next year.
It's hard to agree with "most talented team ever".txag72 said:Uhm, probably not going to happen with maybe the most talented team ever on the court next year.Quote:
