I really don’t care if some people want to make excuses for Danny. Having a frosty relationship with the best coach on campus is inexcusable. He’s done a solid job as our AD but he’s also benefited from coming into a job where the two best coaches on campus aren’t even his hires.
He’s slid by for many years and fans have accepted the price hikes and transformation of the athletic department because we won a lot of games, especially in basketball and baseball (not his hires). My red line was always keeping Tony. Tony is gone, so Danny better win something meaningful soon or he can leave, too.
Danny has a critical flaw when it comes to people at that level. He can't just watch the organization be successful, he has to have his prints on it and if he doesn't... there's friction. In wrestling terms- he's gotta get his stuff in.
Its why Pensky left, its what cracked the door open for Vitello to leave, and there's smaller examples a lot of places.
