Fire Crompton!! This is absurd. How is this ass clown in that position? He’s killing Wildcat Athletics. Halverson needs to get his house in order! This decision is laughable and pathetic.

The difference between high school football and DI football is enormous. Of course I’ll support Kjar and hope for the best, but regardless, Tim needs to leave!!!

The other thing that most are not thinking of is that the HC is largely an administrator/motivator. Most of the actual coaching is taking place with the coordinators and assistants. A really good HC hires the right people and delegates much of the day to day stuff. Yes, they are there and in charge, but they only step in when needed for higher level decisions. Sometimes, it is harder to go from an assistant to HC. The right person for the job is the right person to lead, not micro manage. Deciding who that leader is makes all the difference. Having played the game at both levels gives you the perspective from that end of things, but not from an administrator's point of view. Sometimes leaders are found in unexpected places.

The other thing that people are not understanding here is that the selection committee is tasked to weed out the non-starters and give the AD a list, sometimes ranked, of qualified candidates. They may have been asked to rank them or they may have just been asked to select the top 3 or 4. Either way, that information is relayed to the AD, the athletic provost, and the President for final considerations. It isn't like the committee selected someone and then the AD overrides their choice. None of that happens in a vacuum. Multiple people on multiple levels are involved. Ragging on the AD is a bit pointless.
