Interview with former South Carolina AD Eric Hyman
- Thread starter Brian Shoemaker
- Start date
See, he told the truth about the money and how ours places us at a disadvantage. A lot of our anvil-headed fans have never been convinced we ain't flush around here. Apparently some of our trustees didn't understand what it takes, either
I wasn't the Guy's #1 fan. But he did well with why he was brought here. Upgrading our Athletic Facilities. He did well managing the Upgrading of Facilities for TCU. This was his strength. He set this in motion for us.
With that said," I didn't care for the way he handled the Stephen Garcia Controversy/Scandal."
He hired Coach Staley. Supervised efforts to honor many of our most successful athletes. Honored Our All Americans and Our Hall of Famers.
He made mistakes, Darren Horn comes to mind.
You might consider adopting the pragmatic view. He made the tough decisions. Someone had to. Had he not, we really WOULD have been stuck in the Dark Ages of untenable poverty - hopelessly behind our competitors for at least a decade longer than we were going to be .
Interesting part…he said he still keeps in touch with Horn…thinks he was/is a good coach.
And that should tell you everything you need to know about Eric Hymen.
Impossible to either prove or refute the road not taken. I don't think Hyman made the moves we made because we were awash with cash. Such a theory would be inane.
