he dithered on pearson for months and months, then hired an outside firm to take the pressure off him and to tell him what to do, then dithered some more even after the outside investigation happened.
howard could easily have been fired after that incident which i wrote at the time. i think the suspension was justified.
harbaugh is a tough person to work with but it is manuel's job to work with him.
the solution doesnt have to be "what did you want him to do, fire them?" the issue is that your job is to run the program smoothly, and when things happen below you in your program YOU are responsible for them.
and if it is true that ono went around him on NIL and harbaugh, that means he isnt doing his job and he needs to be fired. i know you hate harbaugh, but if manuel's problems with NIL are standing in the way of michigan's signature athletic programs, then manuel needs to go.
