2.VT has internally draft organization chart of new role and responsibiltiies and also more reorganization of VT to support VT more organically.
3. Make hires that fit with the organization chart, (and while they are working football coach, they are working on GM and New CEO.
4. The Board was charted by the BOV (who really oversee all the university, and directs president how to execute their direction daily to make the hire(s) to implement their direction with the money, to ensure success.
5. THe Board is grouped in 1) Successful CEO in national leading Companies, 2) BOV members (hobbs, MCarthy and Pearson) who represent the BOV interest, (and McCartyhy and Pearson) led the effort to get the money, and 3 football guys who know the business. Arians is NFL super bowl winner and executive to Tampa Buc NFL, widely respected int he nation, Bud, legacy national reputed defensive coordinator, and three Eddie Royal NFL/ ACC commentator. THis group job is to recommend final 2-4 candidates for The president and Rector will conduct the final interview.
6. WHat is the Role of AD. For the committee, just provide information, how to reach out to candidates, and process, and the traps from agents. he is not in working sessions. Whit however, is going to market he's still relevant, to carry a public respect, He dont know his futture as well.
7. Fans involvement. College football is a business. The Commmanders dont ask for feedback for their program, but folks go the game, College Football as a business, is in the same situation. Fans role is support the product, if they chose, donate if they chose and the institution find diverse options for funding, naming rights, real estate development. Premium offerings etc.
