I believe he should be. The only issues we have had are with men's basketball program.
Do you think Tom should be hired as athletic director?

Problem is most of us have not seen or heard all the facts. I am open minded on the issue. Jurich has only made three mistakes in my mind:
1} Failure to fire Rick Pitino and failure to clean up the men's basketball program.
2) Firing and blaming Jeff Brohm for his buddy, Steve Kragthorpe's failures.
3) For being to trusting to a fault. As a head administrator, your eyes and ears have to be searching for your bad eggs. Every organization gets bad eggs from time to time.
If the facts prove that he is only guilty of trusting and being conned by Rick Pitino. I would be for giving him a chance, provided that he never allows this to happen again and gets help on negotiating coaches contracts.

1 and 3 are 1 in the same. It's all Rick's fault he's a grown man that chose to look the other way!
Side note Vagasville. Praying for those families who lost loved ones last night in the terrorist attack in Vegas. One of my favorite places on earth is Las Vegas.
Thanks Cue Card - I'm in Miami but have people there so appreciate the words my man. God bless us all!
The open letter to Jurich suggests that he brokered the deal with Adidas without consulting with the President and BOT. Maybe things like that were common practice under Ramsey but if he wants to keep his job that can't continue.
My guess is if Postel and the BOT had been involved in the adidas deal, it would be worth about half as much...

It sounds like Jurich included two members of Postel's staff, including his chief of staff and two university lawyers in 11 meetings related to the Adidas contract. So maybe Postel is not as up front as he seems. He obviously has personal issues with Tom. Maybe you do, too.
Seems Posties isn't very close with his Chief of Staff either.
Is he "invisible" too?
We already knew he was comfortable lying. Ref. Schnatter and "invisible" remarks.
That kinda behavior is generally recurring and doesn't have to be demonstrated in each instance. And it gets to the point of "when his lips move." In Postel's case, things are moving pretty rapidly...
He is a good AD, but he looks the other way on hanky panky stuff. It's called "winning at any cost".
