TV ratings .... down
Sell out streak ...: dead
Bowl game recognition .... snubbed..... .

These are dangerous trend lines.

We’re losing support and being marginalized on a national stage.






But he maintained our independence!

And look how valuable that is in his hands. Last year’s and this year’s schedules. Six ACC opponents next year. The Pinstripe, Music City, and Camping World bowls. Ball State, Bowling Green, New Mexico, and Toledo. A two-loss team, which any thinking person recognizes as a paper tiger.

Swarbrick independence is a Bolivian Peso.


He's losing leverage. imo He'll be looking to add revenue

through stadium advertising. Also, full ACC membership will (inaccurately) be cited as a playoff necessity.

I hope this stuff never happens, but fear that's where this is heading under his awful stewardship.

Lastly, it still bugs the hell out of me the way he treated, out priced and jettisoned lifelong generational season ticket owners. That's an insane move. Those folks are to be celebrated.

Another doozie is Under Armour. Granted the $ he signed for at the time were the highest. However, he misread the altitude by a ton. Within a year Texas signed a 15 year $250 million Nike deal versus our 10 year $90 million UA deal plus options. Nike shelled out almost $17 million a year to TX. We whiffed....

"I love the way they skewed younger,” Swarbrick said to the New York Times of Under Armour. “Especially with a traditional brand, you want to make sure you don’t become narrowed to an older audience."

The UA relationship has not been a win financially or professionally. They've had some real PR corporate problems.

Just what has saucy done well???





He did a 3rd rate homage to Alexander Haig on 10/27/10 *

& Brett Favre on the 26th: October 26, 2010 Brian Kelly

COACH KELLY: Okay, playing a very exciting and prolific offense in Tulsa. Kinne, the quarterback, is -- he reminds me of Brett Favre out there.


Nothing.

He's done nothing well. He's got the Midas Touch - in reverse.


We have become a Mid-Major

Next stop - Tuesday Night MAC-tion

Seriously - the triple crown you described is the definition of a mid-major program.


As fate would have it, it’s all Kelly knows

Goes with the jock rock, ribbon boards.

And the collars were always more comfortable with a lower profile program.

Monk and his bloated, sanctimonious BOT won.


Monk, the BoT, and the terrorists have won.

Kelly and Saucy (and his progeny) too.


Chandra Johnson shaved her head 15 years ago this week

Monk and Kevin White are long gone. It was 15 years ago this week that Chandra Johnson shaved her head.

Jenkins and the BOT own everything that has happened since including Swarbrick, Weis, Kelly, ACC, fake turf, Jumbotron, ticket prices, vacated games, scheduling, and all the rest.


It's remarkable how many things they have gotten wrong.

And how their mistakes keep bearing rotten fruit. There lies the golden goose, bleeding to death before our eyes, and Swarbrick basically brags about stabbing it.
