David Brandon YRSOB (brand deflater / email enthusiast / cowardly quitter)

Beth Mowins for AD? Title IX compliant ready.

Edit: My new short list...

Potential replacements for a man who made bad pizza worse and mediocre football a clown show... This is gonna be a tall order, but here goes.


1) Beth Mowins -- that way I can concentrate all my hatred in one place.


2) Ken Lay -- he's got the country club mentality to make a great Michigan Man.


3) Chuck Conway -- KMart CEO. Great experience with turning around a down and out brand.


4) John Sculley -- Has experience with Pepsi products. Can keep the Free Tickets with purchase of a soda promo going!


5) Steve Jobs -- dead, still better than the last two.


6) Angelo Mozilo (Countrywide) can swing a hell of a rate for when they have to mortgage the pig house due to empty seats.


7) Kay Whitmore (Kodak) another with great experience in redirecting dying brands. And M is a brand, or so says David Brandon.


8) Bike Hart -- he knows little brother when he sees him.


9) Jim Tressel -- the guy who started this mess in the first place. Now he just needs to finish what he started.

I'm looking for a job. My first act would be to fire the underachieving head coach (belien) and give an extension to the overachieving one (hoke).

BTW, I think Chris Cicero would make a fine choice to replace Brandon.

I mean, really...what kind of AD gets into email/twitter pissing matches with fans? Gene Smith, for all of his buffoonery, never stooped to that level.

Yep. Herbie engages in that kind of immaturity but there's a world of difference between being an ESPN cartoon character and an athletic director.

Former JCP CEO Ron Johnson?

I've actually seen a few people bring his name up thinking he wants payback on Urban for some reason. Lunatic Fringe, I tell you

Lunatic Fringe, I tell you

I'm not sure it's just a fringe anymore.

3) Chuck Conway -- KMart CEO. Great experience with turning around a down and out brand.

Kmart you say? So... he's a michigan man.

He would rather set his nether regions on fire...

Yep. Herbie engages in that kind of immaturity but there's a world of difference between being an ESPN cartoon character and an athletic director.

but not that much difference between being an ESPN cartoon character and an athletic supporter

a willingness to smother yourself in balls everyday is the key factor for success in both
