[QUOTE="gofor2, post: 3099240, member: 72131"] That's a strange management dynamic. Most board members don't know [ Finebaum ] about running athletic departments and its likely they got on the board for being an expert in something [I]else[/I]. I would think the AD, being the [I]expert [/I]in his department, others would seek [I]his [/I]opinion on matters. I don't see why someone that is not an expert, would be telling an expert what to do. I don't claim to know the inner workings and communication dynamics at the top, but there is little point in bringing in someone to fill a specific role, to then go over their head and tell them what to do. I'm not implying that an AD should operate in a vacuum and I'm sure as many organizations work, things are collaborated on with others. Still seems odd to me to go over a guys head and task him on who he fires and hires, though. Jerry Jones comes to mind. He may think he knows a lot about winning super bowls. How has that worked out for him since getting into a pissing match with Johnson? [/QUOTE]
