Based on his irrational decisions, the athletic director at Western Carolina needs to be replaced.

He's not making very good decisions at this point. You don't extend a coach because he's doing the things a coach is hired to do, such as graduate his players. You fire a coach for NOT doing those things.
You extend a coach for WINNING games, winning championships, and going to the playoffs. Something the current staff can not seem to do AFTER SEVEN YEARS on the job.
What about the dumpster fire the women's basketball program has become? What's being done about that. Almost winning or close only counts in horseshoes, not college basketball.

I don't know how this happened, but I hope the new chancellor fixes it when she/he is aboard. This could have and should have waited until the new chancellor was hired by UNC.

Compare all of athletics in 2009 to 2019 from the floor up. Better or worse?  ? Finances? Wins and Loses? Graduation? Upgrade of facilities? Coaches pay? Etc.. |

Why didn't at least one individual that sits on the board of trustees question awarding a contract of this length at this time?
Had Speirs' contract ended or about to end, or had they even tacked on just a 1-year extension, a valid case could probably be made to do justify that. However, with an entire year remaining, and a new chancellor about to be hired, this action is totally inappropriate.
My position would be to remove both the AD and the acting chancellor for poor judgment or mismanagement.

What is the ratio of rationality of the AD's decisions versus the rationality of folks on here? I'm voting that the AD is rational.

After the fiasco with the two women's basketball coaches, I think we should take another look at this thread.
Does anyone want to change their vote?

My vote was he should be gone. Too bad the BOT didn't take care of this as well.

My vote was he should be gone. Too bad the BOT didn't take care of this as well. I now vote that he should be gone but folks this is just another day in Cullowhee. Another bad decision on top of the last bad decision that have stretched back 30 plus years. If we did fire the AD, I would have zero confidence that we would hire a better one than the one we have right not. Randy is pathetic at his job and everyone knows it but Randy and folks in charge at Western. The BOT only cares about razing dorms and building parking structures. We can't even hire the right chancellor at Western. The problem is that the BOT and the whole administration is a bunch of clowns but they are busy patting themselves on the back for fake accomplishments acting like they have done something. The Emperor has no clothes... |

No matter what, this latest mess should put him on a short leash and thin ice. It'll take a series of wins and successes to make up for this latest fiasco.
