Why wait?

We know enough now

They will continue to lose $4-6 million per year on lost ticket revenues, lost maintenance fees, and lost donations if they do not change course immediately.
It seems like a no-brainer to just bit the bullet and buy out those that have to go. At least then, the revenue would start to trend back up immediately.

And a good young coach like Jerrance Howard would take the job for less than 1/3 what we are paying now.

If you can't read the tea leaves now there is something wrong with you. An interim BB coach and No athletic director is something we need now. I have suspended any giving to the University until things change.

Easy fix. Bobby Parker gets promoted to AD. Gary Anna as interim Prez or run with just a B of T. Ron Coleman promoted as interim coach then we let the new hires bring in their own.

[Buesch N Chips]

Holy cow. You guys are almost off the rails.

Noooo! Bobby Parker as interim AD....Bobby is a nice guy but Bobby is soft! PLEASE trust me on this...Bobby won't even answer questions on Bradleyfans.com if the questions are too tough.Who do you think is in charge of our internet stream which is terrible and considerably worse than last year? We need someone aggressive!!!!

Trust me I have worked next to Bobby he is far from lackadaisical. He has never had the reins given to him, yet is a very hard working, LOYAL TO BU, and demanding guy. More than most will know. He is talented that's for sure.

no knock against anyone in particular - but over the past few years everyone working in Athletics at BU has put more effort into trying to spin what's happening as good, than into trying to fix the massive problems.
From the letter that the Board Chairman wrote, to the spin from the AD, on down...and even picked up and echoed by the media...
all we hear is how good things are...comments like our overall athletic performance in the past year is the best it's been in 30 years, that we are playing great defense, that the losses are just due to the injuries, the massive attendance decline is due to ------ (pick any number of excuses given from students having to study for exams to blaming it on someone from 2007).
I know it's their job to sell everything as good, but fans just want to see an effort to fix the problems, not overtime effort to spin it as good.

Bobby Parker would be alright until a replacement is found. The next athletic director needs to be up on NCAA rules, have a positive relationship with the high school coaches in Illinois and be able to run the athletic department without being micro-managed by the president. Hiring an athletic director before a new president is in place would be a disaster. As somebody said earlier, Gary Ana would be an excellent replacement for Glasser.

Gary Anna, who I believe is the only executive person who remains from the administration prior to Joanne Glasser, is a good guy, but he has become part of the problem. He will not be Bradley's next president. Book it.

The next President will be an Interim President. I hear the transition to the next BU President will happen shortly. And it will all happen sooner than most think.....

Sounds good to me.

DC, this is the right solution--should have happened seven years ago when he wanted it and was available. Some had a different agenda and it resulted in disaster.

[wizard1]

Why wait?

I would support and vote for Brett Burchette, Asst. AD for External Affairs. He has a great background and resume, he is a midwesterner from Indiana, he has coached basketball, and most importantly of all, he listens.

Yes. Brett would be a good person for this position. Although he has been at east coast universities, he has family in Indiana and his wife is from the St Louis area. He has good people skills.

As most things have with this administration.

Jerrance makes $300K at Kansas plus other perks. Do you think he would come to this raging tire fire for 1/3 of what Geno makes? Not hardly.
