New GFP - UM President Jeremiah Shinn joins us (links here)

[BWahlberg]

Sat down over a few beers with the new president of the University last night - he's on the pod for the first 1:08 or so. The 2nd half of the pod covers our thoughts on BK's extension and off season success so far.

Great interview. Taco Johns! Fu-king love it!

Honestly, my favorite bit was when he went "bougie restaurant", "bougie restaurant" (no free ads here!), but some place I'VE GOT to try is Taco Johns!

He’s saying the right things and clearly took the feedback from the UM community to heart. I am excited to see him change our public facing side and messaging. We know there’s room to grow, and he acknowledges it and seems to have a plan and an eye on key pieces that will make it happen. Love the new energy we have in various areas of the university.

Will be very interesting to see how Shinn views Haslam’s future. That will tell us how committed he is to executing his own vision for the Athletic Department.

Thoroughly enjoyable! Pleased to hear his enthusiasm for the university's future.
I'm also more hopeful of the Griz' football success.
Bravo Mike and Brint for sharing your coaching experiences with your children's teams. Proud moments, no doubt!

I will have to listen to this podcast, I'm excited about what the the President will Bring to the University.
I'm looking forward to meeting him in November.

Overall in-person impression of him (to me) is that he seems down to earth, approachable, and very much open for all discussions. We chatted before and after recording, talked about my middle daughter who is going into her sophomore year at the UM. Royce Engstrom struck me as a "stuffy academic" and Seth Bodnar the "guarded politician". Dr Shinn comes across as very authentic, I think he's going to fit in really well here.
