He had the courage to fire a coach that went 5-7 and 4-8 in his last two seasons and replace him with a coach that went 3-9 and 1-11 in his last two seasons.
If we loss Batt, and MSU football has a losing record over the next few years, it is 100% on the BOT.

Is there a plan in place for this scenario that will definitely happen? We have seen time and time again that when a government is overthrown, religious minorities will be persecuted much more by rogue groups. So I am wondering what the plan is to protect the 15,000 + Jewish residents of Iran. I don't think we should just wing it when it comes to people's lives.
"The concern I have… is we are a public institution," said At-Large Faculty Senator Jack Lipton. "We are not a private company where you can hire your friends."
Deja vu. Maybe he would be happier leading something smaller/simpler. I'm not sure Clemson is the right move because he will probably deal with drama there as well. I wish him the best
"Fast forward to February 2023 when he was lambasted by the BOT and directed to “accelerate the development of a School of Civic Life and Leadership.” In keeping with an ongoing bent toward revisionist history, the current board chair recently opined that both the Chancellor and the Provost were authors of a memo that proposed what is now known as SCILL, again asserting that somehow this is a benign effort, something that’s been in progress over years. The questions, debate and, indeed, anger over such a center – which was never described as a School before February – indeed began years ago. But planning by the faculty? No sir.
Who wants to lead in such a situation?
Imagine what it must feel like to prepare for two days per month with your board, the entity with which you are supposed to hold the institution in trust. Yet you might as well be walking into a viper pit, full of people who hiss one thing to your face and another behind closed doors. This one’s jockeying for political office. This one wants to get rid of tenured faculty. That one is a champion of civility, except to those who tell him things he doesn’t want to hear. Yet another is all about free speech for everyone except you. You, chancellor, are not to speak unless we OK it. In fact, don’t make an announcement to reduce tuition for lower income families or lament a U.S. Supreme Court ruling the institution fought for nine years.
One wonders why these people want to be involved in the university at all. Except for the basketball games and the glitzy fundraising events, they seem to hate everything about the place."
