Well, I’m not sure but i believe UCD academic senate gets a crack at interviewing our head coach
candidates.

“ You don't always know from an interview. I've got an employee who interviewed beautifully and is a huge pain in the ass to work with.”
I’ve been able to figure that part out by carefully scrutinizing references and personally calling them. A lot of times they’ll level with you on the phone vs what they say in an email.

Thank you.

So Taylor hired Thompson away from Slak. He (Thompson) hasn’t seen 1 season in his new position. So i assume he’s being shown the door also?

Good find.

My son follows “all things” Stanford. He told me they were looking for a reason to show Taylor the door. Shortly after he took the job, i was told by a really good source that Taylor would not work out, mainly bc he could not effectively deal with Stanford politics and the “Stanford way.”

Yeah, but it sounds like he was successful at it. Whether he can recruit and deal with university politics will be determined.

“ After the first investigation, Taylor signed a warning letter on Feb. 14, 2024, acknowledging he could be fired if the conduct continued, according to the documents. Additional complaints were documented in a second investigation that ended last July 24, but Taylor remains on the job.”

“ The second investigation cited evidence "that this is an ongoing pattern of concerning behavior by Coach Taylor." It was conducted last June and July by Timothy O'Brien, senior counsel for the Libby, O'Brien, Kingsley & Champion law firm in Maine. O'Brien, who has advised several Division I and Power 5 programs, said in his report that he has never encountered "this palpable level of animosity and disdain" for a university compliance office.”

Even during the interview with me, when talking about compliance issues, Coach Taylor's tone was forceful and aggressive," O'Brien wrote.”

I’ve never really thought he would last there.

These announcers must be from SD

Looks like the ladies are getting out hustled.

Dr. amd Mrs. Mike getting on TV quite a bit.

I’ll check 1140

Same here. Did get a commercial, then back to your game has ended.

“ Are the Conners brothers on the floor in the student section? Thought I caught a glimpse of them”
I definitely saw Rex amongst a big group on the south bleachers. That was a rowdy group. They had student security pushing them back to their seats. I was assuming that group was a frat. The energy was fun to watch. I have a video, I’ll try to post it later.

Let’s get ready to rumble!

Interesting thanks for the info. I’m an old retired dude so I only know what I see on the news without real world experience on the subject.

Hopefully there’ll be a parking spot in the team aggie parking area for you. I’d save a spot for you if i could. We’re planning on getting there early just in case.

I wonder how many people on campus really are in the “other” category?
