[QUOTE="Battle89, post: 2013753, member: 748721"] I did not elaborate earlier, but what came to my mind when I first replied was the social engineering / DEI agenda the administration had when we needed new coaches. (This was a hire or two before Lovie.) The only criteria in hiring a coach should be their perceived ability to win games and advance the program, within legal grounds. I am sure there are those here who feel differently, and that such hires are a great opportunity to right past wrongs in the DEI arena. That is a worthy debate. I am just addressing here the fact that we have had administrations and Boards with a strong political bent and the welfare of the athletic department was not top of mind. [/QUOTE]
