Didn't that have to be approved by someone over him? Seems like something that would be discussed at a higher level first.
Rumors about Oregon State interest in Barnes
- Thread starter King Of All Message Boards
- Start date
All of them except Mao have criticized and blamed the media. You haven't seen Obama criticize the media for the media coverage in Charlotte? Clinton often blames the media. But maybe you are right, Bush didn't blame the media as much. He just accept the reality. Don't be such a fool because based on reality you are dumb, but you are also stupid.
But if you want to convince yourself, because of your ideology, that what I said was wrong... well, then you probably live a much easier life than I do.
I am not saying you are wrong about that. I was quite clear why you were silly. You might want to follow the words here better.
Well, remember how Jamie Dixon used to help Recruit Football Players like Shady McCoy why not have Kevin Stallings do that with Donovan Jeter and see if Pitt can change his mind like Jamie helped Dave Wannstedt do with Shady?
What is a shame is that Narduzzi and Dixon have been running a very Clean Athletic Integrity Program off the Courts & GridIron, but no one holds Pitt's Athletic Director Conflicts of Interests behavior accountable????
Maybe we have the Foundations of Corruption just starting at Pitt with these kind of Deals that hurt Non-Profit Giving and are under even stricter Laws and the Hypocrisy is crystal clear for all to see?
Penn State has the "Thon" Pitt has the "Barnes-Turner-Stallings" and the Commonwealth should look into an Investigation how that Money is raised and how it is spent, after all they get Taxpayer's Money too???
Pitt may be the few Universities where the Players are focused, discipline, and going to classes and film rooms, with few to no off field problems, but the Athletic Director shenanigans as approved the Chancellor and Board of Trustee may need a Freeh Report too over Athletic Coaching Consultants Conflicts of Interests misspending by Non-Profit Tax Dollars?
When the Sports Business Journal provide Negative Headlines on Pitt Athletics that should grab the attention of the Trustees too????

Not really, this is how scandal's develop, the simple hypocrisy of protecting an Athletic Director's misjudgement due to Undue Influence and Conflicts of Interests is what the Penn state Trustees used to ignore with some of them in Business with JVP, and that made the President unable to have Institutional Control?
This may be the time for Chancellor Gallagher called for an Internal Review of what Barnes did and tell Barnes you are suspended until it is over, and maybe Barnes goes after that job at Oregon State to save face?
At the very least, all of Pitt Contracts with Todd Turner's Firm should be reviewed and null and void based on the Negative Publicity Moral Clause alone, and to remain above the Appearance of Impropriety Pitt should tell Barnes to cease and desist with all contact with Turner and his Firm and terminate all contracts and relationships.
A Press Conference can happen later on showing what Agreements were signed and then Terminated and why to protect Pitt Athletics and the University from potential Civil Lawsuits!
Remember what happen at WVU with its President and Mylan Labs false SEC Report on CEO Bresch falsifying her Educational Credentials on a SEC Pro Forma Violations to Shareholders & Investor misinformation. Now Bresch's Mother and Father Senator Manchin are under taciturnity scrutiny too? President and Department of Economics Chairs had to resign?
Same with Art Briles at Baylor and President Starr both had to resign over what they did not do to maintain Academic & Athletic & Administrative Integrity?
I need not go into Penn State details, but the way one protects an University Integrity especially in Athletic Integrity is to remove and fire anyone that brings an distraction or negative headline to the University?
If the Penn State Athletic Director & Paterno had stopped Sandusky by saying we got complaint and we can't afford a distraction, regardless and you are gone with severance if you resign, if not we will remain confidential as required by law not saying why, until you decide to leave or challenge our decisions.
if that had happen, and it acme out later on Sandusky somewhere else, JVP would have had the National Championship Trophy named after him and as as many Children protection Centers! Even Pitt would have Honored him at the Pitt Game this year?
Bottom line, Barnes Title, Job and Relationship with his Old Boss is not worth having a Distraction for Pitt and just beacuse it was not Investigated earlier, it does not mean
it won't be investigated now or in the future????
It is in the Best Interest of Pitt and Barnes that all ties to Todd Turner and Stalling too, end ASAP!

Captain, I get what you are saying. When they hired the search firm I rolled my eyes. Interview guys and pick the best one. Seems basic and likely will get the best hire. Shouldn't an AD be equipped to handle such a task?
Ha, no dear person. I don't necessarily disagree with your point, just how you tossed the Trump thing in there. I get the psychology of why you wrote it, but it was not necessary and it detracted from your point.
Don't continue to be a child here.
Really? Was it really Pitt's fault? Who was in charge of the construction of the Pete? Pitt or the Commonwealth DGS? Who was responsible for hiring 25 contractors for the project?
The PG article that made so much noise about the Pete's cost was an absolutely slanted hit piece that constantly referred to cost estimates for a completely different 1980s-designed arena project as a starting place for massive cost overruns for the finished 2002 project that actually incorporated 3 different physical plant projects rolled into one (conveniently ignored). Typical MO for the PG. The media absolutely factors into it, as your perception of the Pete's cost issues has just exemplified.

Game time, but one final thought, one Smart Reporter should ask Penn State's Coach Franklin how much Coach Stallings helped him recruit at Vanderbilt, don't you think????
Especially since Pitt lost Jeter to Notre Dame, right now, and can Stallings help Narduzzi get him back?
After all, Pitt could have used some of that Money Barnes lost for Pitt on Recruiting staffers helping recruiting Jeter?
It Is Barnes job to find out and bring Stallings to help Pitt FB recruiting too, like Jamie was always kind to help with it????

You may not be old enough to know but at one time Pitt's Alumni association, The Golden Panthers, was one of the top organizations in
college football. They made the Majors/Sherrill/Dorsett etc. era happen. Pitt decided the organization was too powerful and made us disband. What replaced the Golden Panthers is the Panther Club, which up until
recently was a joke. Blame the University for Pitt's fall from the football elite, not the alumni.
Well that wasn't quite the only reason, but if you want to pretend that's the case, OK, I guess.
