Regardless of what others may believe for the support of our AD. I for one, am in JP's camp. He never will get everything right, no different than you or me. However, I do feel he is giving his best shot. He is well aware that what is best for ISU is best for JP.
I would like to see who is on the search committee. It would actually be nice if they would be a "outside the box" thinker , to add an everyday fan of ISU on the comittee. That individual would have to respect the cofidentially rules yet be empowered for a vote. Would be interesting to see a laymans thought on everything, without the $$$, the politics, etc. Just outright love of ISU, academically and athletically. And with the later taking center stage since this is not a grant/professor search.
