FW: [Husker] The Family

[Kenneth McKillip]

HP extended SP and BC's contracts after 3 subpar seasons guaranteeing them
huge buy outs.  He states that he sensed something was wrong - but did it
anyway?

A competent leader would have said show me great performance this year and
we'll talk about the terms of an extension.  Especially if he "sensed a
problem".  This alone is unacceptable.

Going back, he allowed the dismantlement of our uniqueness, of our
competitive advantage.  He is in his position to understand the big picture.
He is in reality a lawyer trying to appease.

This is not the behavior of a great man.  We need something totally
different leading NU.  This lead to the Greg Mays of the world moving on.  I
would also agrue that NU's image and alumni support is vastly affected by
the football program - more than 2% worth of HP's job.

    I am just curious when you say the above about Perlman other than 
what has happened with the football program what you base it on?  I have 
to assume you have other things you feel that way about since you use 
terms like "for the good of the university".  The Athletic Department is 
a very very small part of his total job.  Then within that very small 
part comes the football program.  Basically, the only real involvement a 
Chancellor has in the Athletic Department is hiring the AD.  I am sure 
that days go by in his busy schedule he doesn't even think about the 
Athletic Department.  I would never encourage a Chancellor to be fired 
based on anything within the Athletic Department.  The totality of his 
job would have to be evaluated before a Chancellor is ever removed.   To 
my knowledge Perlman is doing a very good job overall.
