Around SBN: Beyond The Boxscore's Week 17 MLB Power Rankings

Good Morning, Mr. Wetherell

Did the sun rise this morning?  Did the FSU president, who famously urinates on the head of his schools' chief rival every day, really enjoy what happened last night?  How does it feel?  Are you happy with yourself?

Are you happy that you made it the primary goal of your presidency to be the "guy that picked Bowden's replacement?"

Are you happy that you let blind loyalty to an 80 year old man tarnish the rich tradition of the football program?

Are you happy that you're in danger of letting that blind loyalty cost you your desired legacy?

Are you happy that you tried everything you could to cover up, mislead, and misdirect people from our academic issue resulting in probably an even harsher sentence from the Committee on Infractions?

But hey, you did tell the NCAA to stick on that mascot thing.  So you've got that going for you.

No, Mr. Wetherell, I think you have a different legacy.  "The President that let UF pass FSU because he liked an old man."  It's simple math really.  2 < 3.  Notice the gator's mouth goes toward the bigger number?  For the first time in history, Nole fans woke up this morning with fewer championships than either of their two primary rivals.  And you were the guy in charge.

I guess you'll have all those great academic accomplishments that are strictly because of your leadership to fall back on, right?  Wait... what?  None there either?  Oh.

It's ok.  I mean really, in this day in age you get what you pay for.  If Florida State doesn't pay you much they shouldn't expect much.  What? $700,000 huh?  Top 15 for public university presidents huh?  Well dang.

I'm thinking maybe, for posterity's sake, that portrait of you that will inevitably line the halls of the Wescott building should show you wearing blue and orange.  It's probably the only way future generations will understand just what you truly meant to this University.

TK is a cowboy, nothing more. It’s quite depressing.

Urinates on his chief rival's head? Please edify

Amazing Matt

Thank you for writing this.

Possibly the worst college president in the country

and the worst head football coach in the country, are combining for the perfect storm that is sinking our program.

Not that I disagree

But what are everyones thoughts on Dave Hart. Does he shoulder any of the blame here? I feel like TK came in and was put between a rock and a hard place. His decisions have been horrible but I don’t think he had much of a choice. He is pretty much screwed b/c he is going to piss some people off no matter what. Seems like he was set up to fail.

TK can't do much more damage to FSU...

he has left the academic side rudderless and micro managed the athletic dept right into the outhouse. His final act of destruction will arrive in NCAA sanctions.

He was hired to help football (which is a bad reason to hire a president) and instead he has really screwed things royally. His game plan, much like Bobby seems to be….hire people that are in WAY over their heads.

Until FSU starts hiring professionals and not friends of the family, family, or puppets, we will always trail UF.

This isn't TK's problem

He should be focused on other things, not football. That is for the AD to worry about.

Jasper Howard had his little sisters' names tatooed on his chest. His friends say it was a constant reminder of why he was at U Conn _ to provide his family with a better life than the one he had in Miami's Little Haiti. (AP Photo/Mel Evans, File) link
