Enough is Enough: The Leadership Failures at Seton Hall

[Hall91]

Appreciate JCalz calling out what’s an apparent leadership crisis at the school right now.

I would like to see Reilly resign at this point although I don;t think that will happen. He should take the pressure off Hank and the BoRs. I’m convinced the reason we went back to hiring a Priest was to save $ and maybe even some other motive that may or may not be apparent.

Lyons needs to go quite simply because I think the University needs to save the $ to either higher a layman Pres and/or to improve profit to help our Revenue Share situation out which as of now is probably the only reason to think we have a chance to survive at this level of College Athletics.

I heard that Hank was going to retire from Morgan Stanley to spend more time focused on helping run Seton Hall. That did not happen as he is continuing his career. He has every right to do that but he should realize what his limitations are in terms of being able to help run the school.

Yup. Which is why the coaching matters too.

Hard to know who has what.

Plenty of teams with the rumored strongest NIL are having poor seasons. So the coaching matters too. As does the scouting and development because certain kids who the rumor mill says got significant NIL haven’t performed. Nova was a prime example of that last year.

But this isn’t all on Sha, as I’ve stated repeatedly.

The flaw in P4P with annual free agency— you could pay these guys but there is no guarantee that they will perform up to expectations in that one year. Then they could be gone.

Unfortunately, that’s incredibly wishful thinking.
Also, if it was that simple, wouldn’t many more teams take that approach? They don’t, because it doesn’t work.

It’s not an apples to apples comparison, but no one in MLB wants to be the Rays. You are only the Rays if circumstances are such. And it’s harder to be successful, but often times they do it to varying degrees.

No different than pro sports. Teams miss on players or don’t coach them up. Or both. The better orgs miss less. It actually helps that stuff is year to year so a team isn’t straddled with a long term obligation that doesn’t work.

Seriously, why do Felt, McBride, and lyons deserve another bite at the apple?

What about the history of this board says follow what the board says. Fire Orr. Hire Gonzo. Fire Willard. Sha’s going to get us past the first round. Not exactly knocking them dead with those assessments.

Hank should stay in his lane. If he wants to retire, let’s his personal choice but migrating over to the school should not be an option. Leave running an institution of higher education to professionals who are properly trained, it’s not a hobby or something one does in retirement.

Lyons should have found a new school by now. He was passed over and should move on. He is not effective and we are experiencing the results of his failed leadership.

Felt needs a boss. He is an administrator but nothing more, he has reached his ceiling, but has a roll.

Pirate Blue has to be repurposed and expanded. Fold Onward into the same umbrella and hirer a staff with a proven fundraising track record.

Stop thinking small.

The thing that disturbs me from the outside was the whole Nyre situation. He actually seemed like the most competent President we've had in my experience and it sounded like he told the BOR what they needed to know rather than what they wanted to hear. Marino looked like a complete _ss with some of his public actions and statements. I don't have an insider view, but I can see dysfunction and we have a lot of it. I don't see how the BOR can be defended as there is too much smoke with the embezzlement, Nyre, the utter failure on an NIL plan and Riley. And what happened to McBride? Is he in witness protection? It starts at the top, but that is not happening.

All the BS posts after the original posts are taking away from the message. ALL MUST GO.

Felt had TWO chances to get NIL correct and both times he hired a friend instead of taking it seriously.

Funniest/saddest part is a brand new, state of the art practice facility with nobody worth a damn to practice in it. If I’m the people who footed the bill for it, I’d demand answers. Screw the peons who were dumb enough to think their beer money NIL donations mattered. It’s the deep pockets who thought they were doing the failing basketball program and university a service that should be enraged. I’m sure it’s in motion. Heads must roll or they can accept playing basketball in front of nobody except for their teammates, with zero eyeballs on the tv except for the opposing team’s fanbase, and being the laughingstock of the Big East as the norm. I’m over it and when I look around, I’m in the majority. Hope we figure it out before it’s too late.
