GFP - chat with Kent Haslam

This is the exact take away you should get from the pod. The interview itself was all smoke and mirrors. Softball was played that day as discussed.

You should start your own podcast. I'm sure it'd be wildly successful, with your depth and breadth of knowledge.

They could have interviewed the janitor with close to the same results.

Offer a real critique. What did you think this was going to be? We're not going to go in and grill him on anything. We wanted a nice conversation to give fans an insight into Kent and some of the issues facing Griz athletics, and college sports as a whole -- and we had an hour to do so. Most people found the value in it. You clearly didn't. But you also might be the guy who goes to a Michael Bay movie and complains that the character development was lacking. But let us know where we could have improved and we'll take your suggestions into the next conversation we have with Kent.

Don't worry about it, he just trolls. 99% of people love and appreciate the pod. He's the guy that goes to the Michael Bay movie and complains about how hard to watch these movies are with color and sound.

I just don't see him as a person interested in them darn-fangled moving pictures.

While not at all surprised as I know that's how he operates, but I was still pleased Kent was as open and forthright as he was. Great job as always.

And to address the one question Kent didn't answer directly, yes, sac state is full of shit.

Chances are not likely you will ever have another interview with Kent. But if you did I would not submit suggestions in hopes you would address them unless of course I was your buddy. Kinda like your pod.
 
How could anyone listen to that and feel encouraged about the future of Grizzly Athletics?

The way he talks about all things Montana has always bugged me. He’s whiny, pessimistic and completely unrelatable.

His hires have been terrible.
Lady Griz basketball is and has been in shambles.
We aren’t competing for or winning championships in any sport.
Game day fan experience sucks.

“How far can we push our fans”?? Ha! Unbelievable.

Playing in the NC game a year ago is not competing in football? Got it.

Not competing for championships in any sport?

- football won the Big Sky and played in national title game year prior
- men’s hoops played in the big sky chipper
- soccer won the Big Sky again this past season
- tennis brought home a Big Sky title

That seems like a lot o championships that we aren’t competing for. Weird.

Our football program should be in the NC game every GD year. We are no where close to that.


How does Kent not go down with Holsinger?

It’s ok for Kent and Seth to push our fan base but how dare we question or expect better results for our University. Sick of these clowns.

So by your standards, every AD, in every conference, in every division should be fired because their teams are not in the NC game every year?

Is this just for football, or does this include all sports?

If your children are not the valedictorians, do you disown them?

If you're not the top salesman in your company, should you be fired?

If your company is not the most profitable in it's category, should it be dismantled?

Glad to see your standards are not too high!
