Interesting - Karl Dorrell, the former UCLA head coach. 

 

Wonder if Harlan might be passing his info to CWT ... ?  As a "subtle suggestion?"

This reminds me of a joke.

 

A guy starts a new job as manager of his division.  As he is putting items in his desk he notices three brightly colored envelopes.  On the front of the envelope is scrawled "Open only in case of emergency!" and they are numbered.  He is amused by the envelopes but someone walks in to his office so he leaves them in the drawer and forgets about them.

 

A year later someone in his division screwed up a project royally.  Upper management comes down on him and demands answers.  The guy doesn't know what to do, then he remembers the envelopes.  He rumages around through his desk drawers and finds the envelopes shoved to the back.  He pulls them out, finds the one marked #1 and opens it.  A small sheet of paper from a notepad is in the envelope, and he reads the words "Blame your predecessor".  With this new idea, he meets with upper management and explains the mess that was left behind for him to fix.  Some lousy employees, lousy culture.  He says he's been working on it and is close to turning things around.

 

Things move along well for a couple more years and the division performs well.  He even receives kudos for several projects that his people completed with pretty much no help from him.  Unfortunately, disaster strikes again and his division is in hot water.  This time he remembers how the envelope saved him last time, so he goes quickly into the desk drawer and opens up envelope #2.  "Blame your subordinates".  This seems easy enough, and he outlines a plan to fire poor performers on his team and replace them with more quality people.  Once again he survives and even thrives.

 

The following year another project goes awry.  He's called upstairs but he isn't worried.  He knows he has an envelope ace in the hole.  With confidence he opens the last envelope, and to his horror he reads the words "Prepare three envelopes".

 

 

 

CWT has one envelope left.

That's an old joke, but very appropriate.

I have a book "Who Moved My Cheese" that I think CWT should read. Actually everybody should read it.

We aren't cleaning house, Taggart's firing his sacrificials.  Cleaning house would be removing Taggart and his stank from USF.

Excellent read.  Im not really a book person, but my old manager at work recommended the book.

Guy probably should have sought employment somewhere else or tried to move up from division manager a couple of times during the good times.  He stayed too long in his position.
