[quote="kranmars" post=344635]So the other two finally moved out of the way, and that allowed Cragg, person hired to direct the athletics department do his job. And guess what? He managed to salvage the situation and get a very solid candidate.
What an amazing concept.[/quote]
You honestly believe that happened all in 24 hours? Repole went way over the top, even swiping at Bill Collins, chairman of the BOT.
As someone who has run a bunch of things in my life, I coined a phrase "dysfunctional in committee" mostly about myself because there were times when as the head of something I had autonomous control, while at others, I was simply member of committee. I had to check my ego, my will, the strength of my voice in those situations because in those I had a role, not control, had a voice, not the ultimate say, and strong dissent in committee can be disruptive.
I suspect Repole, who has now had it his way or the highway in 3 companies he's owned, and a 4th that he led marketing and sales from nearly day 1, never learned that lesson and as a result at SJU wanted "my will be done" and not e a collaborative part of things.
Last night we celebrated Holy Thursday. In the Garden of Gethsemane, Jesus prayed "but they will be done, not mine" as he prayed for courage to face what was in front of him.
Misplaced post, but perhaps far more than Repole putting our school in the worst possible light was that he wasn't dead center in the decision process.
