factman's greatest day ever

[factman]

As I said previously..........Dr. Mazey is my hero!

[threestooges]

Is this really a step up?

Or did he see the writing on the wall and made his move first?

Not sure what you mean by writing on the wall, but he & Dr. Mazey had agreed on a multi-year contract extention (four years, I believe), so he was in no danger whatsoever of being fired.

Who said he had already received an extension that would be announced shortly!!!

Dr Mazey is my hero!!!!!

Shouldn't the Xavier president be your hero.... Big East > MAC, seems like a no brainer to me

Division I-A / FBS school > Division I without football - would seem to negate that inequality

Perrenial NCAA Sweet16 school raking in lots of tournament dough in what is, in name at least, a big time conference, trumps your negated inequality . The guy did a nice job at BG and gets rewarded.

Word of mouth. I apologize, & I understand if you don't believe me, but I haven't seen it in print anywhere. Maybe someone on this board with BGSU connections can do some checking & prove me right or wrong. Just remember, when I'm proven right, you heard it here first!

I hope whoever we bring in follows up where GC seemed to have us pointed with getting the stadium renovation/replacement started soon. Say what you will about GC but our facilities and donations certainly improved and increased during his tenure IMO.

Threatening to cut a program sure seems to be an effective fundraiser.

Which program?

[BGWriter]

I'm quite happy with this news.

Come on BG, hire someone who will be driven to improve all BG sports, including men's basketball!

Hockey, the situation from a few years ago.

Fixed that for you

[Falconfreak90]

Can't say I'm sad hearing this news. While the facilities under GC's watch certainly improved (no way that can be debated), the way some long time coaches were treated as well as losing the "Family" atmosphere in the athletic department always rubbed me the wrong way. Obviously the way he went about trying to cut the hockey program was a disaster and backfired on him in a BiG way. That, alone, did a lot of damage with his image in the BG community. I wish him well at Xavier and man, am I excited to see who Dr. Mazey and the Trustees bring in to replace him.

I hope if I ever think I'm going to get fired, I move on to a job that would double my salary.

Are you sure thats the case?

An article I read from 2009 stated that the Xavier AD was one of nine employees at the university who were receiving more than $200,000 a year. That's three years ago. Mike Bobinski, the AD at the time, has since moved on the Georgia Tech at $650,000 a year in spite of having no D1 football experience at Xavier. Don't think this is a downward move for Christopher.

This is the best thing to happen to BGSU Athletics in quite sometime. GC was out to use BG to springboard to a better job by whatever means necessary. It worked for him temporarily, but I think the way he treated people while he was here will eventually catch up to him. Let's hire someone who is about winning and bringing back some of the pride that has been destroyed over the past 7 years.
