One of the critical responsibilities of any profession is knowing the limits of your expertise.
Foley could have avoided tarnishing his career by admitting he was unqualified to be as deeply involved in the ID and vetting process as he was.
Instead he dived in head first.
I suspect it would be almost impossible to know enough about every sport to function well enough. However as the leader of a 200 million plus enterprise he has significant resources available and certainly should have been able to bring appropriate expertise to review the situation, not just the hiring processes but also the day to day operations so that things like Nussdrunk sucks or our asst coaching staff was bottom of the barrel isnt a surprise.Instead he dived in head first.
He definitely missed on his last two Saban related football coaches. Saban was winning national championships so Foley incorrectly assumed those two could successfully implement the Saban system at UF. Florida's talent pool is more suited to Mullen and Meyer's system. All AD's miss on coaching hires.One of the critical responsibilities of any profession is knowing the limits of your expertise.

Foley was admired by the other ADs for what he accomplished without ever going on NCAA probation.For whatever reason, ego or insecurity or otherwise, Foley was determined to put his stamp all over the program.
He'll have to live with that decision for the rest of his life.
Yeah we heard all about that. He was so admired by all the ADs that he was surely going to be the SEC commish.Foley was admired by the other ADs for what he accomplished without ever going on NCAA probation.
Is this a sirius post?Foley was admired by the other ADs for what he accomplished without ever going on NCAA probation.
He handed a financially strong balance sheet over to Stricklin and did all the unpopular fund raising program's first. Stricklin walked in with a debt free Athlete academic center (which is the best in the SEC), a debt free Oconnell center major renovation and a brand new IPF. Of course our other sports programs are the best over all in the SEC.
Now Stricklin can fund raise for the more popular football and baseball facilities with the borrowing power to make it happen.
Due to UAA's long term thinking UF will be a power again in football once the new football facilities and brand new baseball stadium are finished. In spite of Foley's recent bad choices of football head coaches, UF's strong balance sheet is still intact.
Over all he had a great career as the UF AD with nothing to be ashamed of as all ADs miss on head coach hires.
Stricklin is walking into UF with no NCAA problems or debt problems and can put his stamp on the new football and baseball facilities. Foley set him up well for the future.

Yeah.... he was so admired by other ADs that they quickly hired him away.
I didn't like the last football hires either. It is a fact. But that fact does not exclude the other factual things Foley accomplished. He was the second longest tenured AD in the country. You do not stay on at a tough school like UF that long without accomplishing alot of good factual things.I think what I just read was never buy your home dialysis machine on plastic, even if it could save your life.
Spare me the paid promo and allow me to point out categorically that the cost to wait and pay cash severely outweighed the hypothetical financing costs during a period of historically low interest rates.I didn't like the last football hires either.

Like:
"Florida had won a national championship in each of the past seven years and captured 14 national team titles since 2009, the highest total in the country."
No paid promo. I just think you should look at all the facts not just a few.Spare me the paid promo and allow me to point out categorically that the cost to wait and pay cash severely outweighed the hypothetical financing costs during a period of historically low interest rates.
I'm not going to bother to point out that ZIRP is a thing of the past or that your reply is really "out there" in relation to the topic.No paid promo. I just think you should look at all the facts not just a few.
If bubbles never burst you would be right but all bubbles burst. When they pop he who is in most debt has the biggest problem.
The Fed has used all of its tricks to keep the debt bubble from bursting. Eight years of zero interest rate policy have used up the Fed's main weapon (lowering interest rates).
Obviously you do not know that throughout history deflation is the norm not the inflation we have had the last thirty years and deflation kills debtors.
Feel free to point out the fact that I said that is incorrect if you can.I'm not going to bother to point out that ZIRP is a thing of the past or that your reply is really "out there" in relation to the topic.
No, I'm going to point out that you're my new favorite poster. :)
I know ZIRP. I also know from these UAA thought train tangents of yours that you are borderline .Feel free to point out the fact that I said that is incorrect if you can.
If you understood ZIRP you would know that the Fed is now nervous that they waited too long to terminate ZIRP. They are trying to raise rates so they can use ZIRP again. Of course yesterday they had to give a more dovish statement about raising rates to keep the markets up.
Anyone who understands ZIRP knows that it is not a thing of the past and that they would like to increase rates so they can use ZIRP again. Unfortunately the debt bubble has grown so large that it is difficult for them to raise rates.
I see you cannot use facts to make your point so you have resorted to name calling.I know ZIRP. I also know from these UAA thought train tangents of yours that you are borderline .
You made a nonsensical post loaded with financial buzz words based on your interpretation of UF's tactical and economic mindset with regard to facilities. I pointed out the absurdity in your logic.I see you cannot use facts to make your point so you have resorted to name calling.
