I can't see how the college board can let him get away with it.
But you had to know this was coming. In the University sense, he appears to have a God-complex.
I think they should have to go through all the **** we had to go through, including naming an interim for 2 years and then naming him the permanent president.

...however, if I were a Professor at the University of Mississippi, and the person didn't meet the highest standards of academic excellence and research acumen, I'd be highly upset. What Ole Miss does or does not do is no concern to me unless it affects MSU.Xenomorph said:
ok... I don't want this to spiral into a pissing match about how ill-suited Snoopy1 was to be a University president.... But the hilarity that would ensue from the OM faithful and faculty if somebody like him was appointed would be off the charts.
His tenure, I think, will be the pivot point. The whole mindset seems to have changed in the last couple of years. It is really remarkable.
Both in athletics and academics, you hear a lot more about efficiency, growth, revenue streams. The hallmarks of successful business (and what should be the cornerstone of any successful organization) have found their way to our fair campus.

Sometimes in an organization as big as a university that's as poorly run as Mississippi State has been since Dr. Z left you need an extreme guy to come in kick *** to get things started. Usually that person will piss off enough people to get canned, but he also takes the bullet, and clears the path, for the new hire. Hell, Keenum can continue to implement the good things Doc started, i.e., actually recruiting students, growing enrollment, rewarding departments for adding students, etc., but the people who hated Doc will love Mark because "he's so much easier to deal with than Fogelsong" or "at least he isn't Doc."
I don't want to turn this into another Scruggs thread and the moderators can delete this comment if they want, but if I was OM I think I'd hold off on Trent until the dust settles from the "Scruggs II" cases that is coming down the pipe. This is the case where the Senator's name might be brought up since it involves bribery with the promise of an appointment to the federal bench and we all know how Dickie might have accomplished such a thing.
