[NU Sports] AD Replacements

[CHerron604 at aol.com]

The Colby decision (in fact, any decision involving a football assistant)  
should be made by PF, and should not involve the AD (except to advise and keep  
posted).  I cannot see any reason why Greg Colby should be employed by the  
University next year.
 
As for Carmody, a decision to let him go would be based (it seems) on about  
5 factors:
 
- Bad Big Ten record
- Bad non-conference performance
- No NCAA appearances
- Weak recruiting (consistent weak recruiting)
- Poor fundamentals (the shocking inability of his players to shoot, make  
free throws, rebound, or not commit turnovers)
 
Which of these 5 factors would a new AD not be aware of (or not able to  
discover rather easily) ?  Other than nice qualities of Mr Carmody's  personality, 
what would any new AD require a year's observation to determine  ?
