But he is a nice guy.Hey guys, this isn't a bball related post, but I was told about a man who is wanted for robbery in the Richmond area. Heres a photo of him Robber. If you see this man please contact the authorities, he stole millions of dollars and loves to compete for more
As we all know, this is impossible. And it has nothing to do with you.I'll hopefully still be around when he's gone.
That is also a management issue.As we all know, this is impossible. And it has nothing to do with you.
A lot of the criticism directed at Mooney should be directed at the administration. Yes, he leaves a bit to be desired but you don't have to be a graduate of the business school to see that Richmond isn't getting the value for their investment. I see them as hypocrites for saying that they do. I burned my basketball tickets maybe I should consider burning my business school diploma too.I may be the only person on the board who doesn't care at all how much money Mooney makes or has made. I'm not directly paying him and he's been able to convince management to pay him a certain amount. Good for him. I think the whole ROI comparison is ridiculous, but then again, I didn't go to the B-school so that could I possibly know? The measurement I care about most is wins/losses. Tournament appearances and records against rivals take care of themselves if you win enough.
I've probably missed <20 home games since 1972. I was a Spider fan before Mooney arrived and I'll hopefully still be around when he's gone. Years ago I said he had overstayed his welcome and still believe that. But I hope the team wins every time they play.
I think a lot of the Mooney criticism on the board is valid. It's certainly repetitive. (The "sippy cup" references are a bit puerile IMO). But the criticism about how much money he made/makes are fairly a reflection on management - not on Mooney.
Ok now you are going to have to tell us more about this conversation 😂I haven't met the current AD but I was introduced to Gill once. It was truly one of the weirdest conversations with anyone I can recall.
odd time to use a high quality pickup line ... when meeting the AD.After a handshake, I said in a clearly VERY joking manner "it's obvious you have nothing better to do than talk to me."
Mooney can't fire himself, so yes the buck stops at Hardt and the administration. If our most public and most highly paid employee is being extended and given raises despite his lack of success on the court (18 years, 55%), how many other university employees are doing mediocre jobs and getting raises and retained.The athletic director is truly awful. It’s not Mooney’s fault we overpay him. But it has been devastating to the whole athletic department.
Well, you are being a bit wishful with this notion in general. UR is still a relatively large organization even though it is a comparatively small university. They don’t just fire people willy nilly and in fact I think you have to be pretty egregious to get the boot. They don’t want it to be a revolving door and use the jack Welch ABC grading methodology.Mooney can't fire himself, so yes the buck stops at Hardt and the administration.

I always thought UR stood for being the best at everything we do and having the best people to do it, but I question that now.
Since they're being paid at a higher standard, they absolutely should be held to a higher standard.Well, you are being a bit wishful with this notion in general.

That said, coaches should be held to a different standard. I don’t think the standard for bball has a lot do with wins and losses so long as you aren’t flat out failing.
After 18 years, might be time to hire a door-repairman to figure out why this door has only revolved halfway around at most...They don’t want it to be a revolving door and use the jack Welch ABC grading methodology.
Did you ask if he traveled from Richmond or DC?I chatted with Gill at an away game at Umass. But don't worry sman, I did not try any pick up lines on him. I was too busy trying to cover my my #FMM shirt to think of any.
He seemed like an alright guy. There were only a handful of Spider fans, so I appreciated that he came over to say hello and ask where I travelled from to get to the game.
He used to live in my neighborhood, which to be clear, is in RVA. He was here more than most people give him credit for, and he was a nice guy. Was paralyzed with indecision is the impression I get from people close to me who are university employees and interacted with him.Did you ask if he traveled from Richmond or DC?
The higher standard should be excellence; not mediocrity currently as accepted.Since they're being paid at a higher standard, they absolutely should be held to a higher standard.
Have you heard? He's no longer the AD at Richmond. And this Ray Eldridge kid looks like he might be a good one for us someday.I'm still sick of opening up Rivals and seeing his ugly mug.
