done early--insisting on maintaining football independence and making that happen, primarily--but he's been a big disappointment since. Sure, he helped upgrade FB AC salaries, but that didn't get us what we expected. I assume at this point that, with his university VP title and his $2MM salary, that he just assumes he can do no wrong. It seems very unlikely that he's hired anyone on his AD staff that will question him, challenge him, etc.

"...represents us well off the field..." Damning with faint praise.

That's really what he meant.

Because he doesn't care about football, either, except as a source of money.
