If you were AD at USC. What would you do with Holbrooke if...

Bullshit
Some of y'all have NO idea what you what you are talking about.

An AD whose women's BB wins a NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP, MBB goes to the Final Four, Football goes to a bowl game and baseball Hosts a Super in their previous seasons IS NOT UNDER SCRUITINY. ANYWHERE. They deserve, and just received, a contract extension. Glad morons don't run our school...

Didn't realize Tanner hired any of those coaches.

Words out on Muschamp, but Holbroken has been a disaster. Tanner hasn't shown yet that he's capable of making a tough decision if need-be. His job should be under just as much scrutiny as Holbroken's IMO.

Our best coaches (Dawn and Frank) weren't his hires.

More IGNORANCE.
An AD's job is more than just hiring and firing. Facilities improvements, giving existing coaches the support they need to be successful, public appearances and fund raising... Plus a whole lot more- all play into how successful an AD is. Hiring and firing is about 0.2% of the job, it is just the most public part that people who know nothing about the process actually see.

See below, your point is irrelevant. ADs are not judged based solely off the hires they made. That is NOT what their job is about, they are judged on the success of the teams we have, and right now our athletic department in general is among the elite nationwide. Anybody saying Tanner should be under fire right now because of one sport underachieving MIDSEASON, after the run we just saw in basketball and WBB, is a FOOL.

Do you want to know who set the master plan in motion for facility improvements? It wasn't Tanner

I know plenty about it. Again, your point is meaningless. AD is judged off the success of the programs they run and we are having almost unparalleled success across the athletics department right now. This is a results business not a semantics business. Nobody cares who hired the coaches, what they look at is the success of the programs under the current administration... Should I list those accomplishments for you again?

Didn't have to. But, he also hasn't lost them to other schools, has he??

What tough decision has he failed on? He has retained both of those coaches when they were looking to leave.

I think you are posting over his head.

That right there is why he's AD. People aren't going to tell the 2 time National Champion coach "no" when he comes asking for the big bucks.
