You don't need a military background to study leadership concepts. My only military background is 4 years of ROTC in Charleston. But I've read and studied more than a little bit about it, and in my mind, the U.S. Military has done more research on the science and psychology of leadership than just about any other organization on Earth. If we are taking about an organization that breeds leadership, in my mind, that's it.

The point I was trying to make over there is the skills that it takes to be a 3* general, are the same ones that it takes to lead a University (or any other large organization. You have to have the technical knowledge, the people skills and a strategic vision. I'm sure SC's new president has all of these things.

People need to chill and let things play out a little bit.

Amen

So true

I’m just pretty “betafied” really

Don’t have the military background or never was in it so can’t be with the big guns and ever be an alpha

We now have a friend in the President’s office.

So many texts coming from friends urging me to say hello when I see him again.

This will turn into a really good hire, everyone will see. Bobby is a good guy. There is a copy of his CV going around, his resume, I hope everyone will take the time to see it because it’ll answer all of your questions.

Great hire. And he is not one to hold a grudge. He’ll relish the opportunity and make the most of it. He’ll make all of us proud of hiring him.

Being former NAVY I definitely can appreciate what our new President brings to the table. There will be no snap decisions , without total research, being made. Waste and laziness will not be tolerated and once a decision is made there will be 100% effort to ensure the decision is a success. People will be held accountable.
We became the most powerful country this world has ever seen because of military men like Caslan.

Caslen's son sure isn't helping daddy at all.

This was from the beginning of July. He's issued an apology but, as you can imagine, we ain't letting it go that easily.

I'd love to see a couple drunk old timers stomp his arse unconscious.

His excuse was that he's a UF fan, but I've never heard anyone outside of Clemson's fanbase refer to us as "dirt peckers."

I look at it as an immature kid that was upset over his dad not getting the job here previously and feeling like he was loyal to his dad by talking smack. This has nothing to do with the job Caslen has to do.

I've tempered what I'd like to say to the oldest son (who made the comments) based on the occupation of the youngest. He's an FBI Agent. Probably not a good idea to piss that one off.

No need to invite the feds into your life. I'm still concentrating my hatred on sen. Daryl Jackson son, who has not only spoke vile of USC but has actively steered some of the state's best basketball players away from our school.

Well before daddy converts these wayward radical students into well oiled fighting machines, maybe he should rein in his own. Not a good look.

Damn .... I bet he wishes he could reel that back in and play like he never tweeted that.

That will come back to haunt him.

If he is a Florida fan ... well, here is the irony.

I've got two Generals, a full bird Colonel and two CSMs coming in for the Florida game as guests .... three of them friends of Bobby Caslen, one of them whose daughter just graduated from the UofSC last year.

Bobby III will not be invited and he'd better not show. His Dad will understand.

One full bird is coming all the way in from Rome for the game. One of my closest friends, his daughter is one of my goddaughters and both her husband and she are Florida grads.

I suggested his first point of order should be to publicly chop his son's fingers off.

That may appease us a little.

Oh look..there's more.





Someone told him not to darken our doorstep and he said sorry, he would be there with his dad every opportunity he gets.

This ain't gonna end well. A lot of ppl his dad DID have in his corner are turning on him bc of his big mouth son, right or wrong. He's (the son) also been on there spouting "Forever To Thee" every chance he gets as if that will make him one of us and he's too idiotic to realize he's insulting us..and infuriating us..even more by even believing he's close to good enough to ever utter those words. He needs to acknowledge his kid is a twat waffle and apologize for this bullshite. And THEN chop his son's fingers off. Rip his voice box out as well so he can't do voice to text, either.

Hiring a guy whose son openly trashes our university to lead our university is so South Carolina it hurts.
