The fact that Alleva was awaiting instructions from the President or BOS

Or maybe he doesn't want to piss off his boss and get fired.

At this point he should just go out guns blazing. Come out and say he's been handcuffed his entire time here. Some small school will hire him.

His job is to make the decision.

Absolutely!

BOS and King need to let him do his job if they are interfering.

A true DIRECTOR is out in front of these things and then awaits the consequences of his superiors if they somehow have a problem with his actions.

This.

I get Joe can’t go rogue but God we come off as such a clown show when our AD consistently gets his legs cut out from under him. People that think Woodard would ever come here are dreaming, no one wants to be micromanaged by political flunkies that are barely qualified to sit on the board much less make decisions for the athletic department. You hire an AD and let him lead. You take action when his leadership and decisions fail.

They should be general overseers, not dictating policy or even hires.

Joe clearly didn't do squat until he was told he would be okay to do what he did.

How do you know this?

He's seen up close and personal how it works when he was in the AD. It's the same reason we wouldn't be able to get Radakovich either. They know too much about the dysfunction.

They probably sit in their offices every day and thank God for how much easier it is to get things done where they are.

tell the VP in your company to tell the President of it what to do.

Tell the VP in your company to not make any decisions over his division until he gets the full blessing of the President and see how well it operates in the long run.

What? I don't care if you agree with the ultimate actions or not (to be honest, I haven't even drawn a full conclusion but I think I likely have problems with much of it), the fact remains Joe clearly didn't do squat until he was told he would be okay to do what he did.

That's not what a true Director should d

You are assuming this is a normal, functioning, competent situation. Alleva is a yes man, obviously. I see what youre getting at, but it's not relevant because he's just a puppet. That's the reason he has the job in the first plac.e

So you're saying that Alleva wanted to suspend Wade immediately but waited to be told to do so by the BOS or president?

Or that he didn't want to suspend Wade but the BOS or president made him. Because if it's the latter then he didn't wait for instructions.

I'm confused by what you're trying to get at here.

---

I'm saying, by all accounts and reading into everything I've seen on the matter, Joe sat on his hands and did absolutely nothing until he received the full blessing of the BOS and President.

If someone believes this is incorrect, point me to something or someone reporting a narrative that would tell me it is.

Or maybe Joe didn't have any intentions on suspending Wade until his bosses told him he had to. That is the silly thing about jobs, you typically have to do what your bosses tell you to do.

I don't care who you have in as AD they would do the exact same thing in that situation. If the President and/or BOS tell you that you have to suspend the coach, then you suspend the coach.

Do you have any clue how many idiotic orders I have received in the military from my superiors? Guess what I typically will voice my opinion and then ultimately do what I was ordered. It is how the world works. There is a peeking order with everything in life.
