OT: Whit's Vision in a conversation with David Teel

I had not seen a post about what Whit had to say to David Teel before the LOLUVA game. It apparently is a 90 minute interview. Seems to have some really good insight on some of the things we might expect and where Whit wants us to go as an Athletic department.

Definitely makes me lean even more towards JJ getting another season to prove what he can do looking at Whit's track record with coaching changes

Similarly, Babcock has yet to fully examine Tech's most-parsed program of late: men's basketball. Nor has he decided whether to retain James Johnson, a fledgling head coach who is 6-26 versus ACC competition in his two seasons.

Babcock said he evaluates all coaches at season's end based on record, recruiting, academics, compliance and character. He said he likes Johnson, admires his work ethic and believes the team is playing aggressively.

"I know you guys have to ask that question (about job security)," Babcock said, "but man, I feel for our coaches when they know I'm getting asked that question."

Babcock acknowledged, with a heavy heart, that he dismissed four head coaches during his two-plus years at Cincinnati: baseball, volleyball, women's lacrosse and women's soccer. But it is incumbent to note that none of those changes came during his first six months on the job and that all of the coaches had been with the Bearcats for at least five seasons.

In short, Babcock is no hair-trigger executioner.

"It is by far the most miserable part of the job," he said.

What are your take aways from what he had to say?
