My read is completely different, he comes across intelligent, pragmatic and not afraid to make a tough decision. He is good at networking and fundraising but I also believe he has the skills to succeed in making good tough decisions as well, we will see. Something about having memes posted on your wall that you point to in interviews that say things like keep calm and play to your strengths makes me more cautious than optimistic.

I knew we’d draw for Wisconsin and BYU, but we had decent crowds for SMU and scsu. And we suck. Crowd seemed smaller when we were winning consistently. I have to think Kelly has something to do with this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His best qualities would seem to be networking and fundraising but some of those qualities don’t really translate to being cutthroat. He comes across very corporate cheerleader where as if you aren’t a sociopath I wouldn’t trust you to lead anything of importance. We have different reads on him. Don't think he'll shrink from making the tough decisions. You don't need to be a ***** to do your job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
