kemajic said:The only mistake I have seen from Haslam was his hiring of Stitt in favor of some very good candidates. He has done a wealth of other good things and deserves more than one mistake. Retaining Stitt if things keep going this direction would be a bigger mistake.RABIDAWG said:Redemption in Zootown would be firing Haslam & getting O'Day and Pflu back.

hm.grwn.grizfan said:It was politics. Plain and simple. Pflu had the misfortune of taking over a team that already had a reputation for having several questionable characters any given season under hauck. Then beau Donaldson, jordy Johnson, trumaine johson (am I forgetting anyone?) all got in legal trouble within a few months. When pflu stood behind jordy and made a statement about his good character, engstrom. Well u know the rest. The legal issues and bad press were the main reasons IMO, but there were academic issues at play as well.

Fushiznitz said:I know everyone says it will never happen, but I believe it could; but only with the backing of the major donors. I recall my freshman year, when Dennison took over for Koch- the first thing he did was inform the athletic department (football team in particular) that they were facing major budgetary cuts, because UM was going to be academia first. If my memory serves, he was singing a different tune within about 48 hours after many, major, donors threatened to pull all financial support.
Now, take that with a grain of salt, as it was 30 years ago.

The day that boosters influence coaching hires or personnel changes with their checkbooks, would be the day that I would withdraw my support for the program.

Academic issues that were hinted at in the investigation report, which stated that 2 athletes competed while ineligible.

Boosters, with or without checkbooks, influence coach selections every single time a coach is selected. So, feel free to withdraw your support.
