Does our AD have nads?

[shoxlax]

Referring to the Lutz article, think our AD stuck up for our coach this time when Elfin went to bend his ear after the game?

If he didn't he needs to go.

This seemingly lack of public support from ADES is always concerning. I have long thought that ADES simply is not a leader, but rather a politican and he always wants to look good to the Valley, ADES should assuage the frustration level by HCGM by showing public support for his coach. Let HCGM prepare for the upcoming game and let ADES and the athletic department act as the bully pulpit against the Valley or lousy refs. ADES even agreed with the 1.9 call before he had the opportunity to really review the clock and see what time the clock actually started.
Besides a big paycheck, the lack of public support from ADES might be the movement of the fulcrum that pushes HCGM away. I hope that is not the case.

What is it with everyone thinking marshall is a pube hair away from bolting?

Oooops! Some adversity, marshall's gone!

I hope some factual accounts of the "discussion" come forward in the very near future. Last I checked, Doug Elgin works for Wichita State. I don't claim to know all the inner workings of the staff, but if I were Gregg, I wouldn't give Doug the time of day, and if I were Eric, I'd remind him who votes him in and out of a job. As far as I know, Doug works at the pleasure of the schools, and believe it or not, WSU gets a vote.

You seem to forget there are nine other votes, and I guarantee, they don't see this situation the same as you/we do.

To answer the question in short: No.

I do agree with you there. My comment was simply that as a Board of Director, I am not taking crud from the outside firm hired to run the company, regardless of him having the other board members swinging from his johnson. He'd get a large dose of STFU right after he said "Hey Doc, hold on a second, I need to go over something with you".



EDIT: Sorry, I keep forgetting you can't say the rap word that starts with a c.

To answer the question in short: No.

It is curious for such a recent member of SN to have such strong opinions.

I'm just glad our coach has nads! ADES should tell Elfin to watch the tape and get back with me.

[give em h*ll shocks]

sexton was driving back from St Louis, we passed him!!! Maybe Marshall didn't let him on the plane

[Capitol Shock II]

Weird, sounds like his car doesn't do 75

ADs are like belly buttons and Mustangs. Everybody has one, they're smelly, don't really do anything to enhance the experience and when you get beat you wonder why you have one in the first place. Greg Marshall didn't come to Wichita State because of an AD, maybe an AD's pitch or spin but not because of the AD. He would be silly to consider leaving because the AD spins the wrong way. If you don't get support on an issue that's a talking point in the next meeting. If he doesn't support you during the season that's a point to bring up at the next contract extension. If he doesn't support you at all, wtf did he hire you?

Aren't we kind of at the first level here? maybe that's too simplistic.

Ads have run coaches off before. Sexton did not hire 3G

[shox1989]

Ads have run coaches off before. Sexton did not hire 3G

But he has been very supportive of him.

[RowShock87]

If you're referring to my post I don't think I mentioned Sexton. I said AD. and Coach didn't come here because of an AD he came because WSU supports it's basketball. If he leaves it'll be to a school that really supports basketball, not because of the AD.
AD is a job given because a Prez's office got tired of talking to folks who don't talk in complete sentences and don't understand inferred remarks.

Again I did not mention anyone's name excepting Mr. Marshall's...
Does our AD have nads? From this standpoint we will probably never know unless someone in the AD office is willing to lose their job by being the 'anonymous source close to the program.'

If Coach leaves, it'll be for the '1 of 5' reasons; the boosters suck, the fans suck, the finances suck, by mutual agreement, Or he gets fired.
