100% agree.
Leach would be a perfect fit in Laramie if Buchanan & Burman ever get their heads outta their asses!!! :tickedoff: :brick:

Are you suggesting that Burman should trade our high school quality coaching staff for Leach? To me it seems no one wants to hire anyone under them that might challenge their authority.
LawPoke said:What? The state appropriates nearly $1 Billion to the University every two years. Yes. That is Billion with a big ol' stinkin' "B" on it and the state government and Governor don't like UW? Sorry, that don't wash. Also, nevermind that pesky Hathaway Scholarship that is helping keep kids in state to go to UW and NCAR and the GE test facility and the millions they have busted their butt to attract from industry to fund the Energy School - all which will bring more folks to UW.
And if we are simply talking athletics, remember the tens of MILLIONS in matching funds for athletics facilities and to enhance coaches salaries also came from the state. And if you believe that a governor - or frankly even a legislator - should be meddling with who is hired as a coach...I'd suggest you might have some misplaced priorities. My guess is that Dave - and soon Matt - and the Legislature are a little more focused on what we are getting for our money (another BILLION with a B) in terms of k-12 education, how we are going to fund Medicaid (yet another Billion with a B) and how we are going to keep the feds from shutting down coal and oil and gas development (which are central to the equation of how we get those Billions to fund UW, health care, education and the like).
Sorry to go off. I love UW and the Pokes as much as anyone else, but to suggest that state government has turned a blind eye to UW is a little much. I would venture a guess to say that Buchanan might have some other things going on too. Sure the AD is his guy and sure, the AD should be held to account for what has or has not happened on his watch. My guess is that he is and will be going forward - as should the coaches he hired. For my part, I am hoping we win some more bball games - but don't think we will win many, in which case Burman should can Schroyer (should have done it last year, but I don't think they had the cash, especially with the 10% reductions they had to make with the tanking economy at the time). I am also hopeful, and actually confident, that DC will win. And again (to quote McClain) - if he doesn't win, something should be done.

This caused those finalists to withdraw, if I recall it right, and thus we have Buchanan, and thus we have Burman. That's my :twocents: .
I don't think you can blame the Trustees' decisions on who appointed them.Wyokie said:Brew_Poke said:If any blame should be meted out, it should go to the Trustees who totally bonered up the hiring of a new President with insisting that Buchanan be included in the finalists when the search firm they hired didn't have him on it.

O.K. then who appoints the Trustess?

LawPoke said:Maybe there is a circuitous route to get some blame put on Dave and the legislature...but it is pretty far removed. Frankly, you can ask Matt to focus on whether we are breaking. 500 in hoops and competing with CSU. I will ask him to mind the till and see to it that our k-12 system is producing kids that compete with the Chinese.
