what would you do first? Obviously, you have an athletic department in disarray, as expected.
In talking to someone today, he had an interesting idea.
Hire Illinois grad Jack Welch to be a consultant on the rebuilding of the program. How much would that help a young guy like Whitman? Say, 'Jack, you haven't given as much as other multi millionaire graduates, but here's a chance to give back and cement your legacy around here.'
I think that is your first priority, having a plan of action and executing it, whatever it is. A guy who has turned businesses around can help.
Then, you get the right #2 and #3 guys, and deal with your coaching situations.
BTW, hearing Tiley is 'definitely interested'. Although that doesn't mean he is coming or anything, good to know he has listened. I know Whitman and Michael have talked to the committee as well. George still being pursued by some.
