My impression is that most Buffs fans consider Bohn a good manager of the Athletic Department budget, a good marketer of the programs, and a good steward in terms of making sure that we run clean programs. On the negative side, most Buffs fans consider him poor at hiring winning coaches and poor at negotiating contracts (Hawkins' extension, MAC/ESPN change from Miami(OH) to Toledo, revenue split/Invesco commitment for CSU series, etc.).
My question is:
If both Men's and Women's basketball have winning records and play in postseason tournaments this year, does your opinion of his hiring abilities change? Or, is football simply king and it would take a few consecutive winning seasons from Hawkins or the next guy to change your opinion?
As a follow up, would getting a corporate sponsor for the football stadium and the private funding for the basketball/volleyball practice facility improve your opinion of Bohn's job performance?
* Also, if you differ from the impression I had of the average Buffs fan please note that.
