re: there is a problem in the Atheletic department

A couple of interesting notes. But as someone else stated, I’d take it all with a grain of salt considering the Aubie insiders have a poor track record.

- Greene was hired by Leath and that arrangement worked for both Leath and Greene because Leath liked to be involved with athletics and Greene only had 3 years under his belt at Buffalo. Leath is fired. Enter Gogue who didn’t hire Greene and the dynamic shifts where Gogue doesn’t want direct involvement with athletics. Greene continues the budget cuts directed to him by Leath, in PM estimation, because nobody told him otherwise, especially as Covid enters the picture and finances are more uncertain

- Olympic sport coaches put pressure on Gogue to get the AD to push more money their way. They organize and voice their concerns to Gogue after the athletics year’s end. Gogue, still unwilling to get directly involved, directs Burgess to step in and work with Greene in managing the department through the post budget-cut phase.

The other note that I found more interesting is that Greene wasn’t on board with firing Gus. Allegedly, Gogue stops an effort to name Steele HC and gives Greene the authority to run the search and ultimately signed off on Harsin’s hire.

All of this seems impossible to know with accuracy but that’s his article in summary
