@tannerintupelo I agree that HY needs to go. But, I have no idea who would be a good replacement. He’ll have his work cut out for him with football! All other sports are in at least decent shape, with a couple in excellent shape.
@HogCall He’s getting $6.7m in salary, up from the approx. $2.25m he was making at Memphis High. He would be owed $10m in buy-out if fired before 12/31/26 and $7.5m before 12/31/27. Yurachek was feeling generous in that negotiation!
Nothing has happened as a result of it, yet. This is not an exercise that should take long. A few days at the most. My fear is they’ll formally committee and hire one of those third-party consulting firms like some schools do when they need to hire a coach. And we’ll end up with a 47 page report written by the highly respected and respected athletic director from North South Nebraska State College who half the Power 5 ADs claim as their mentor. In other words, a “good ol’ boy” who will advise that Yurachek is the man we need, and that he just needs more money and autonomy.
It just sucks during the fall when there are so many great match ups and various fans are pumped about their teams and their prospects, and here we sit as a gimme win and a non-factor. Teams can look past us to next week with absolutely no worry that we’re a trap game. I work with KSU, OSU, Texas, Florida, LSU, Miss St, and other fans. Most were excited about their games tomorrow. Us Hog fans can only just sit there. (Sigh)
Here’s the statement we’ll see: The Board of Trustees acknowledges that the Hunter Yurachek served throughout a period of significant program decline. After a thorough review of his leadership, vision, and corrective plans, the Board remains confident he is the person best positioned to restore the program. We therefore support his continued leadership as the effort to right the ship begins.
We all knew as soon as soon as Silverfield’s name leaked that we were done for. And it’s really aggravating when you hear he was the first guy HY interviewed. There’s nothing I’ve seen that should make an AD say “I want to talk to this guy first!” I’m guessing no one else really ever had a shot.
@HogFanPage I would feel better if the release ended with an announcement the BOT will conven Monday morning at 9 AM to hear Silveria’s report. It shouldn’t take him long.
@bmarcello This feels like something that’s going to take a long time. It’ll no doubt involve a committee, and that’ll take two months to put together. Maybe by this time next year, we’ll have the preliminary report.
@nikitabier It would help if users could block posts by country of origin. I find much of the junk in my timeline come from a certain countries over and over.
@BarnsWallisMD My local True Value is great as long as you don’t need them after 5:30 pm Mon thru Friday or after 12 noon on Saturday. They might be pretty good on Sundays, but I don’t know; they’re not open.
@SELFIMMOLATI0N If you get behind a minivan or a vehicle with a handicap tag in the drive thru, just put it in park. In the rare event it’s taken me more than a couple minutes, I’ve told them I’m going to circle back around so I don’t hold others up.
@GolfDeolax Ordered a pair of Q-zips from here several days ago. Still haven’t received. Was finally able to get my tracking number to work. It’s coming all the way from China. :-/ I feel duped. Hopefully, the quality is there and I didn’t fall for the Temu of golf wear.
