[QUOTE="Boomboom521, post: 129555513, member: 1848129"] An AD is measured on MUCH more than the football team, in my opinion. OL was a great AD. He found us a new conference in a VERY unstable time. His hire of Holgorsen was smart, even though it seems to not be working. He was a top OC in the conference was were joining, and his system used a lot of the elements of talent that were already in place under Rod and Stewart. OL did well in other sports as well, and secured the funds to begin improving our facilities in many sports (baseball, football, soccer, and basketball). Lyons needs more time for judgement. I think he was smart to negotiate with Dana last off season. A new school friendly deal COULD HAVE been struck (never know). At the least, it sends a message that we are not happy with how things stand (Dana is not earning his contract, and either his salary should be lowered as he attempts to raise the quality of the program, or we just simply won't renew the contract). It sucks because we want to win, and now feel like if it does work out with Dana, he will leave because he was disrespected. But how do we know the negotiation wasn't a "show me and get paid" type of conversation? If Lyons said...."Dana you are not producing at the level of your current contract, but I want you here long term. Let's renegotiate a longer contract at a lower salary (equal to your current production)." Then when Dana said "no". Lyons said, "ok, produce next season, and I'll give you the contract that will make you happy for a long period." ???? [/QUOTE]
