There is nothing wrong with constructive criticism but he has publicly bashed the program and never publicly offered a solution or presented a plan to right the ship. He proclaimed us virtual cellar-dwellers as opposed to saying "SMU has got to get out of this hole and this is what they need to do to be successful again.... I know they can get it turned around if they make the right moves." So, he has been a part of the problem, not a part of the solution.
Gone to Lubbock.
If given a public forum other than this provincial board, most of us would have vented in a similar manner. How do you know he didn't make those suggestions privately to those that matter only to be met with promises of change that never materialized? Remember the "Committment?"
