I’ve largely stayed out of the fray with things related to Huge, especially after some well respected members of this board left because of the first big blowup with her.
But...
This incident and letter speak to the heart of what my major concerns are to with her.
I think, for better or worse, there is a logic and plan to her high profile moves. They may not align with everyone’s belief or desires for W&M athletics, but I believe there is a rationale to them.
However, when it comes to the day to day machinations and responsibilities I believe that she has failed on a continuing basis. From communication, to engagement, the transparency, to timing, to respect for the athletes, to how the ticket office functions, to accessibility to constituents, to people management... all evidence I’ve seen shows that she’s failing at those basic responsibilities.
It’s not the decision making that I think means her bosses should be considering whether she’s fit for the role (which to be clear, doesn’t mean I agree with her decisions), but her ability to successfully manage the basics of the operation.
To me, thus letter is the first sign that maybe this is becoming a problem for her superiors. That maybe finally someone is noticing that there are problems with how she is managing operations. This is a fairly open, kind of mea culpa that has 100% not been her style throughout her tenure. This to me smells of a boss saying “you need to fix this not just internally, but publicly”.
Let’s hope that we see change out of this. Whether it’s a change on her, the department, or who is doing the job - a change.
