First off, I do not know the financial dynamics of the situation so he may not have been in position to make any changes in the Big 3 but:
1) He was all set to keep Matt Luke and only made a change when forced
2) Basketball has been trending downward yet he keeps KD. Does anyone actually think KD will turn things around based on his first 4 years?
3) MB openly interviews with LSU, we end up keeping him.....this season is a reflection on why you cannot keep a guy who would do this....
Seems like we have a weak AD on the surface.

We really have no clue what was going on during this time as he didn't have his interim tag removed till Nov. 20th 2019. That is a massive decision to make while still being an interim AD. Lane was announced on Dec. 6th. That's a pretty quick turnaround when you take negotiations into account

We also finished 5th in the SEC for the Director's Cup....which gives a much broader picture to how the Athletic Department is doing as a whole.

Our smaller sports have flourished under him, although tennis on both sides has fallen this year

Confidently incorrect. He forced the move and when the boosters wanted to hire McIntyre to replace Luke, he told them to frick off and hired Lane instead

I give a little slack for COVID. Everyone agreed that we had to move from AK so maybe give it some more time. If not, we will just cycle through head basketball coaches every 3 yrs.

From LSU so it's not like he was out interviewing everywhere he could. It's a pipe dream for him. This year could be his last based on merits. Let the year play out. I'm sure Keith is using the current time wisely in identifying candidates.

1. If he wanted to keep Matt Luke, he should be fired now. We don't need someone that stupid hiring our new baseball coach.
2. He made a mistake firing Kennedy and hiring Kermit. Kennedy is a better coach.
3. He should have told Bianco to keep the interview secret or resign. Letting that interview go public and then having LSU bitch slap Bianco and us is unforgivable.

This guy gets a lot of credit for hiring Lane. He had nothing to do with it. Lane picked where he wanted to go. Time for a real AD so we can hire a real baseball coach.
