Related to @great2bahokie and @RiverVT replies, you DO realize the Pres'dnt
Dr Sands is employed at the pleasure of the BOV. Sands doesn't operate in a vacuum and as he isn't an independent person or dictator. He carries out the implementation of the wishes and decisions of the BOV , not the other way around. If Dr Sands is an "idiot" as you seem to feel he is, you best be lobbying your delegates and senators (State) as well as the new Governor (whomever that may be) as that's the only way you can effectively change either the President's decisions, or direction of currently stated short, medium and long-term goals of the University, Let alone get them to bide your wishes regarding a next new head football coach!
So, with that understanding (my details of hierarchy and organizational structureDr Sands is employed at the pleasure of the BOV. Sands doesn't operate in a vacuum and as he isn't an independent person or dictator. He carries out the implementation of the wishes and decisions of the BOV , not the other way around. If Dr Sands is an "idiot" as you seem to feel he is, you best be lobbying your delegates and senators (State) as well as the new Governor (whomever that may be) as that's the only way you can effectively change either the President's decisions, or direction of currently stated or published short, medium and long-term goals of the University, let alone get them to bide your wishes regarding who our next new head football coach should be
So, with that understanding (my details of hierarchy and organizational structure between the BOV and University president may be somewhat off, the general thesis I believe is pretty accurate), good luck and keep howling at the moon (Sands) but don't expect immediate results
