Some interesting quotes in here from the Prez. He says, “all eyes are on the next game.”

Never seen Brian Howell this frustrated

He also said "I am relying on the people who are closest to the action – the chancellor (Phil DiStefano) and the athletic director (Rick George) – to find a path forward for us."

Yes, well that is their job...for now. He followed that up with a clear message to them, "I expect success. I expect excellence and I expect us to turn this around, both in the short term and the long term. We have work to do." I'm glad he's setting these expectations instead of the same nonsense of stability and youth that we've been hearing from RG and KD.

Yea that's the part that stuck out to me too. If Phil is one of the ones we're relying on then we're ****ed

Hopefully, at the least, he is making Phil uncomfortable behind closed doors.
I read it as he is aware but the rest of it sounded like a completely non-committal political statement.
Nothing to indicate that he expects changes to change results.
Nothing to provide a timeline for improvement or benchmarks to be aimed at.
Nothing to lay any specific responsibility beyond saying that PD and RG have the jobs normally held responsible.
Nothing to indicate that he personally was willing to take action.
Nothing to indicate any changes in the way the program is run or the support it gets.
Get back to me when there is something of real significance.

Howell has some additional info on 247, for those who have a sub. He says they went in depth on more topics (transfer reqs., support, etc.) that he'll share at a later date. Says he's a pro athletics president.
Dear eight pound, six ounce, newborn baby Jesus, don’t even know a word yet, just a little infant, so cuddly but still omnipotent. Please let Todd bring us back to relevancy and fix our program once and for all
Without any real reason I read the statement with optimism. He publicly puts the responsibility where it should be and then declares his expectations. If they fail in performing to expectation then he has every reason he needs to take action. No idea if he will but that’s how I read the statement on this warm sunny Friday afternoon
It’s raining here in Boulder.
I like that he referred to them by their positions instead of using their names.He also said "I am relying on the people who are closest to the action – the chancellor (Phil DiStefano) and the athletic director (Rick George) – to find a path forward for us."
I’m not sure how you read that with anything other than cautious optimism. Looking forward to the next installment of Brian’s write up that discusses Saliman’s stance on some of the specific items
Dorrell is adios. RGi probably adios
"I am relying on the incompetent boobs who created this utter failure" does not encourage me.He also said "I am relying on the people who are closest to the action – the chancellor (Phil DiStefano) and the athletic director (Rick George) – to find a path forward for us."
fify.
Politically, he has to say that about RG and PD. It's good managerial leadership, too.
Did people expect him to say that he's got no confidence in the campus Chancellor or Athletic Director so he's personally taking charge? Fire them through a BDC interview?

Yes, well done by Howell. Securing an interview with a relatively new university system president to talk about football is no easy task, I'm sure. I've given Howell a lot of **** for being too soft, but he's been killing it lately. Props to him.
Yep. Brian’s an eternal optimist. These ****ers broke him.
Brian finally cracked. That alone should be fire on sight for RG and KD
