For those who know or have met Donati, what is your impression of the man?

I don't do an impression of him, but I do a killer Bill Clinton and Curly, from the Three Stooges.

 

[ShreveFrog]

Clearly he’s done a great job fundraising and that’s what’s needed now, since CDC left the Frogs with its top trio of coaches, and all sports seemingly in good hands. He knows all the ropes having worked under CDC.

Let’s help Jeremiah drink hissa wine! Go Frogs!

Congratulations Jeremiah.

I hope this is one of those situations in which a promotion from within serves to assure other employees that their employer prepares its people for bigger and better jobs. No reason to think anything else.

He's sharp, listens well, and grasps what his job is. Additionally, he knows the donors and has been making the rounds at Alumni functions for some years now. He fits right in.

So, you basically do the same impression, except one has a cigar sex toy...

Can’t be a bad thing already knowing where the big checks come from...

I would imagine his hire has the blessings of the coaches.

Since he loves dogs, he will get along great with Kelsey.

I wouldn't trust anyone who doesn't like dogs.

Who doesn't like dogs anyways? They are better than some people.

 

[Froglaw]

I like my dogs better than most people I've met.

With the exception of RodDog and BaylorDan, They were great Americans and I miss them.
