Much rather follow OU than UT. They have Big 8 roots.... there's a slight hint of tradition in the air. Hoping Reba is right on this one....
Dan Beebe one step closer to resigning
- Thread starter Daserop
- Start date
crazy how last year at the Thursday night game he was there and came down to front row student section and ppl were giving him ovations and high fives and such... And now this
He's gotta try to get all the $ he can, most likely it's the last job he will ever have.
The man makes a ton of money each year to get the high fives...and the raspberries, too. They don't pay you that kind of coin for nothing, and nothing in his contract says everyone will love him forever. I'm sure, however, that it's in there to pay him a lot of that contract's promised income to depart... People will forget him over time, and he'll have a check with a lot of zeros to console him...
He can come work with me. As a Hawk fan, you see, I am a mid-level employee at BK, hoping to be a kitchen manager real soon!

You just made the signature. Names have been changed to protect the innocent.

Dude, you don't know what you are doing...Beebe will run three of your best burger flippers to more stable fast food chains like McDonalds, Wendy's, and Culvers.
Interesting point with renaming. Ultimately, trying to establish a viable, long-term conference from this point involves more than rebranding, but maybe that's part of the puzzle.
If it's going to be more than just The Temporary Power Conference, it requires stripping down and rebuilding it. I don't want it to be a Safe-for-Now situation. I don't suggest rushing into mini-expansion, such as adding 3 teams to get to 12 just for the sake of it. Or pretending to re-think league solidarity until something better comes along for one school or another.
Why not DECIDE right now?
Hit the road jack and dont ya come back no more no more no more no more no more........................................
Interesting....when looking at Neinas list of previous employees, Deloss Dodds is right there on it. Click on the contact info at the top of the page & it takes you to more 'Who & Why' about Chuck Neinas, at the bottom of the page is a list of some of his more successful past employees.
Should this cause concern about having that 'sack of steel' to tell UT they can't have everything they want or another Beebe-type puppet?
Beebe has also received support from ADJP and President Geoffrey in the past as well. Funny how everybody seems to ignore that in their quests to exact their pounds of flesh from Beebe.
Beebe certainly has his issues, but the above facts should tell you something. You don't give somebody who sucks at his job a huge raise, and then fire him a couple of months later.
Beebe wasn't a great commisioner, and he wasn't the horrible commissioner that many make him out to be. This action is likely partly the "new start" mentality, and partly a concession to OU. And, last but not least, every clusterfudge needs a scapegoat...

Beebe is a complete failure. 25% of the conference left and the conference almost exploded under his watch. I suppose you think Ken Lay (Enron) wasn't a horrible CEO.
Great Plains Conference. That sounds nice. Of course, once we add BYU, Louisville, and West Virginia it might seem a little nonsensical.
Why did the Big 12 presidents just give Beebe a big raise a couple of months ago? Why is/was Deaton resisting his resignation?
Correct. He can only herd the cats if they're not hopped up on catnip. Much of the Big 12 fatcats have been rolling in catnip for too long and have been impossible to wrangle.
That said, I have no issues with him being sent down the river - if it gets this unhappy family back together again.
Ode to Dan Beebe by OU Bloomer
Dan, Dan,
How little did we know you so
We are sad now that you must go
We enjoyed your fine efforts to save the conference last year
We saw you had a 50% pay raise for one year grinning from fear
We knew you worked with Boren and thought he was from mars
People also tell us that Powers had you wash his cars
Yet we did not know you were for the little guy
Snyder said you were a family man - I hear a sigh
Mack said you could hauil luggage for him any day
Pinkel always said hi to you even on Sunday
Now we know the lawyers from baylor buffooned you
But you smiled and took it all from KStarr when nhe mentioned sue
Stoops was a pistol and you were his bullet as you were in cahoots
Old Tom O still talks fondly of your Armani suits
Hawkins even remembers you in the good times
Denton says you were the life of the party mime
Slive was surprised at your futile resistance
Delaney did not understand your persistance
Scott said he will quit posting fake Dan Beebe in your honor.
The Big east mafia commish always was a frowner
Enjoy your golden parachute
No one gives a hoot.
