[QUOTE="Pharm Frog, post: 2524378, member: 34435"] Contrary to the OPs assertion, this is precisely why people in these types of leadership positions say "never" or whatever needs to be said when it needs to be said. If he had "kept it real" and admitted that he'll listen to reasonable offers, how deep would the donor pool have remained? How tenuous would his relationships have become? How hard would it have become to advance the work and mission? What if TCU was a publicly traded company and CDC had been viewed by investors as a critical asset in asserting the value of that company. If CDC had said anything other than what he said to the press, he would have sent the stock plummeting and would have been viewed as amazingly disloyal in the C-suite and boardroom. I highly doubt that VB and others were taken by surprise but could be wrong on this. Don't blame people for feeling misled though. Like others, I now wish him unimaginable failure because of the destination. And like Navy said, sometimes you've accomplished what you set out to accomplish (and more) and it's time to move on and test yourself against something different. And, if that "different" is willing to pay you more money for it, all the better. Seven years is a lifetime for leadership like that. Now we need to go out and get someone who will advance the vision and accelerate positive change for as many stakeholders as possible. Does the athletic department get to keep his wardrobe? [/QUOTE]
Verification
Which team did TCU defeat in the College Football Playoffs?
