with a person who is plugged in to the situation in Ames. Without going in to detail I'll just say that the relationship between Fred and Jamie doesn't appear to be great. Reading between the lines it appears that Jamie may be focused a bit too much on the bottom line. I'm fearful that he's not able to understand just how important Fred is to this University.
After talking to this guy I got to thinking. What has Jamie really done? He got the AD's financial house in order and secured funding for the SEZ and bball practice facilities. Props to him for that. When it comes to coaches though we shouldn't be impressed. Both FB coaching hires have yielded subpar results. GMAC failed and Fred fell in to his lap. Then there's Cael. If our native son gets away I think Jamie should be shown the door. We can do better.
