Michael Kelly Named Vice President of Athletics

[hm101]

Must be a really good hire if all we can find to dislike is the title.

I will just echo what others in this thread have said in that I will reserve judgment of this hire for 2-5 years....... But if he doesn’t have a plan out in 6 months for an OCS he’s a failure.

Do they have their own stadium, or do they rent?

They play in a “first come first serve”  ymca complex.

I'm just not clear on how you have a vice president if you don't have a president.  And how do you have deputy directors of athletics if you don't have a deputy director?  I know it is just titles and the jobs are what they are.  Just doesn't make sense to me.

Back in the day, Merrill Lynch Japan had literally 100's of vice presidents. It was virtually an entry level title. Here's an example I found, of a guy who made it by about 27. It was pretty much a meaningless thing. Remember, if you can't give (real) raises, give (bogus) raises and promotions

A lot of folks used to carry a handful of different business cards with different titles, depending on who they were meeting with. Titles are in the eye of the beholder, lol

Preeminent status in the state, a named corporate sponsor for the Sun Dome, a very promising new AD hire . . . great happenings at the alma mater! Go Bulls!

Dwelling on the positive, things seem to be looking better.  Welcome VP Kelly!

Was thinking the same thing earlier.

In many organizations, you have the president of the organization and then vice-presidents in charge of certain aspects of the organization.  Their title is often listed as Vice President of area of responsibility. 

For example, an Architectural and Engineering firm will have a president of the entire company and then have a, "Vice President of Architecture" and a, "Vice President of Engineering"

Again, but how then do you have all these Associate ADs?  There doesn't seem to be an AD.  Maybe they are changing all of their titles. 

And I am just having fun with this and am not serious.
