Message: [QUOTE="Excalibur, post: 2727522, member: 62"] She had been on the job for what, 3 months when that happened? Pendergast, clearly a placeholder, wasn't even officially on the job yet. The seeds for this were planted long before she started, and I place the blame far more on the previous administration -- particularly the athletic department who should have been pushing aggressively to market us to other conferences. Hogan was probably capable, but was looking for another job for most of 2009 and 10. From a timing standpoint, it was a really $#*$*&y time to be transitioning at both the presidential and AD levels, though the hiring of Pendergast as the interim AD can certainly be criticized and demonstrated just how blind everyone was to the coming departures. If Mike Hogan had stayed on another year . . . If Hathaway had been replaced a year earlier . . . If the interim AD had been someone within the department . . . If . . . . [/QUOTE]
