Do you guys remember what it was like around here with Tharp? It was a disaster. No concept of how to run an athletic department. No thought given to fundraising. Mike Bohn is the first "real" athletic director this school has ever had. I don't agree with all of his moves, but there's no denying the man knows how to run an efficient and profitable athletic department. The AD is in one HELLUVA lot better shape today than it was when he showed up, and that's in spite of the lack of on field/court success. God only knows what kind of magic he could produce if the football & basketball teams actually won a few games.
The idea of firing Bohn is ludicrous. He hired Hawk based on a recommendation from Chuck Neinas. Neinas is the guy we all said we would trust his judgement. Had Bohn not taken that advice, we would have been all over him like a cheap suit.
Bohn's job is to run a profitable athletic department that reflects well on the university and is a strong member of the community. He's done all that and more. Let's not get carried away with the axe, lest we cut off some parts we'd just assume keep.
