As for Greene, I like him fine, I don't really care if he stays or goes if Gogue is involved in that call. I trust Gogue and Burgess to make sensible decisions there that aren't entirely beholden to the whims of booster pressure.

That said, I don't really blame him for anything on the field. It certainly seems like there is a lot of confusion about who actually runs the AD, so if some of that is because Greene isn't stepping into all facets of the role, he needs to go. Or if he just can't mesh with what we're doing, he needs to go.

But it wasn't Greene who got us the Gus contract. It wasn't Greene who let JHS fall into disrepair without a coherent plan for the future. It wasn't Greene who tanked swimming and diving, or women's basketball. Greene had nothing to do with the injuries that hit us in baseball, etc.

If he's ready and willing to run the AD like a pro, then I'm cool with him. He was apparently very involved in a bold decision on Harsin, so that's a great metric to use going forward.

I think looking at all the prior posts, it's like TJ has said...it's somehow a little bit of every rumor.

From all I have read, I think Greene is running the AD, but he tends to be, for now, conservative in his money management, especially operationally.

I agree, he is NOT the responsible one for the poor showings in those programs that were not competitive this year, BUT if he stays he will reap the praise or blame if those new hires he now has been charged with aren't successful.

The only issue that could make him leave, or get pushed out(especially when a new President is in), is with the start of this glaring problem that required Gogue to appt. Burgess to iron out issues within the AD.

That is never a good sign for any AD. I do like Greene, but he needs to start showing vision and I need to know that his fund raising attributes are working.
