If you listen to Drake Toll's interview of Kramer Robertson today and are still mad at Mack, you're barking up the wrong tree.

I listened to the message from Kramer. Still, as an executive, one of my key jobs is to retain my best talent. Even if I have so called strained relationships. As an AD, your coaches are the key leaders to deliver wins. Mack dropped the ball on high-performing talent retention or he let his ego get in the way. I think it was both.Malbec said:Everybody here needs to listen to it.GarlandBear84 said:

Didn't listen to the interview. Can anyone share any details of what was said?GarlandBear84 said:

Nevertheless, KM gets to coach LSU and stick it one more time to LaTech and Baylor(Mack).

Kim is the one that screwed up, and I'm guessing it's her ego that put her in her current position.
Hurt BU's banner manufacturing company, but hurt her legacy more.
BU will be fine.
BU had to deal with this at some point anyway, this made it quicker, cleaner, easier, and cheaper than having to force a retirement.
Bobby Mulkey should be her new moniker.

You are right, a very good leader would make it an everyday act of doing the things to know your people and constantly work at retaining your talent. Waiting until the there are demands is waiting far too late.Gunny Hartman said:BearnMI said:I listened to the message from Kramer.

So as example, you oversee a team of high performing talents (let's say, where 17 out of the 18 of them are in the top 25 nationally of their profession), and one of your top performers is continually bringing strife into your team, and then that top performer shows up in your office one day with an offer from another company and says that either you acquiesce to some of their demands (which aren't in the best interests of the organization), or they will take the other job, and you cave just so you can keep them?
Then I'd suggest that you're not a very good manager.

If it was just a little bump in money to match LSU then I would have done that but the whole arena issue and court naming issue is another thing. Baylor/Admin/Mack/Donor have to do what they think is best long term for the arena placement and unfortunately it wasn't where Kim wanted it. The whole court naming issue shouldn't even have a discussion for any coach until they are retired and out of coaching. If those 2 were the issue and were non negotiable with Kim then you tell her thank you for your time here at Baylor and all you have accomplished and good luck at LSU. It's pretty much what Baylor/Mack did and no one should fault him and the administration for that.BearnMI said:You are right, a very good leader would make it an everyday act of doing the things to know your people and constantly work at retaining your talent.

Don't forget to factor in the real, hard fact that sometimes the personnel cost is not offset by the benefits, no matter how valuable those benefits may be.BearnMI said:I listened to the message from Kramer.

You want wealthy boosters making critical decisions for the university, rather than the highly paid professionals?
I can see why, that's always worked out so well in the past.

You are wrong about literally every single thing you post. You also used to say Scott Drew is dumb. Knowing you, you probably still think that. To this day, you criticize Mack for hiring Matt Rhule, despite the fact that he took a devastated and depleted roster, and in only three short years turned them into a Sugar Bowl team that was one overtime possession away from selection to the College Football Playoffs.
I have to be honest, it's kind of impressive how consistently utterly wrong you are. I don't think I could be so predictably wrong if I tried. Reading your posts, it's like every day is Opposite Day where the correct assessment is the exact opposite of what you post.
