to me it's not a good sign that instead stanford talks about the big bucks administrators it's bringing in.
Announcing Tempie Brown's new GM role seemed to cover your first concern to some extent, maybe not as much as you'd like, but it did signal acknowledgement of a need for more focused efforts. Maybe the press needs to be creative in pushing coaches more to get some added perspectives or insights?
Not quite sure what you're alluding to in your second paragraph.
not reassured, thanks. changing a title, like changing facebook's name to meta, doesn't ring my bell. it seems corporate-speak to me. almost every year, my health insurance company takes a new name; yet my premium goes up, not down. i haven't heard tempie say a word about stanford's progress, if any, in nil; and i don't see any hits on google. i do understand that she may be at this very moment be quietly offering $500,000 to a top transfer to fill harper's spot. if so, i will be surprised and delighted as so far the best we have pulled is mas - a good player but not a game-changer. did we offer big bucks to olivia miles, who originally considered stanford, before she transferred to tcu?
my allusion?
Donahue made 23 million at nike per year. i am guessing he is paid more than muir; i would be happy to be proved wrong.
iirc correctly the coo position for daper is a relatively new addition to the sports budget. stanford is currently advertising for a new coo (ie donahoe's assistant) to replace alden mitchell (cf her instagram selfie of herself apparently engaged in sports betting) at the openly named salary of $460-535
andrew luck's position may or may not pay a lot, but it's an additional high-level administrator. at least andrew seems to be doing something useful for his $.
