Poll: how do you rate Jim Weaver, VT A.D.???

This is a job or professional poll, only!

As best you can, leave any personal feelings out; and likewise omit any growing health concerns. May Saint James bless and intercede on that…

Accordingly let us recap just a couple of things, some Pro, some not so much…

Pros:

• reigning 16 year Athletic Director of Virginia Tech, (not everyone gets to say that; nor does everyone stay that long)
• Atlantic-10—>the Big East
• the Big East—>the A.c.c.
• Lane Stadium expansion 2002
• Lane Stadium expansion 2005
• Basketball facility upgrade 2011
• Numerous Olympic sport betterment’s facility wise along the way
• other…(add: comment(s) below at your leisure)

Neutral: (or things that depend upon your personal point-of-view)

• Lane Stadium re-seating 2o12
• Lane Stadium re-seating 2oo5

  

Cons:

• Peaked football program
• Or should I say a football program in a bit of decline
• Lane Stadium sell-out streak broken (2013)
• Decline in donations, attendance, concessions and Revenue Sport revenues alike
• Last place men’s basketball program
• Allowed the departure of several seemingly well-qualified head coaches from non-football sports in recent years…
• …ergo, garnered reputation for Group Think or cost-cutter head coaching hires from knocking on a door just down the hall
• More of a football-first fiscal general manger than he was an all-round or all-sport general manger
• other…(add: comment(s) below at your leisure)

So, all-n-all, what kinda Athletic Director was Jim Weaver of Virginia Tech???
