He does take a beating, but much of it seems deserved. I do think there are couple of things going on. Its either or all of the following:
Either way, he needs to pull his team together and go back to the drawing board. Take some constructive criticism, rewrite everyone’s assignments to leverage their strength and turn this into a learning experience. Unfortunately he doesn’t seem the type to welcome the feedback as he does come across as defensive.
- He’s spreading himself too thin with events, administrative stuff, business development (maintain / grow membership), playing moderator on RSS, and then traveling to anything Husker related to ‘be at the scene’ and write about it.
- Poor delegator of activities...see above.
- Isn’t acting like the senior leader of the HOL organization, and clinging to the ‘fun’ activities like going to games and not delegating the activities that should and could be done better by other people. Reference 1 and 2.
- Doesn’t know how to use spell check
- Is a poorly trained journalist
- Is too cushy with athletic department and doesn’t want to offend them.
- Perceives himself to be cushy with athletic department and doesn’t want to offend them, but the really think he is a goober
- Is hiding the fact that he knows he has no relationship with the athletic department and trying to win them over by not reporting anything that might upset or surprise them.
I actually think tPB is going to make them better. They have already made some effort to try and put some more stuff out there in TT and stuff like that. It is kind of like a business that is hungry at first and fights for people's business. But eventually you start thinking you are great and don't need everyone's business and start treating customers like they are expendable. I think they are starting to realize that people aren't going to put up with that crap when information is readily available elsewhere so they will redouble their efforts to be good again.
