There's been a lot of hub bub concerning the firing of first
year Southern Miss Head Football Coach Ellis Johnson. All kind of speculation is in the air as to
who will be his successor and what kind of program they will institute. Lots of big money figures are being
floated. Granted, athletics—especially
football in the South—is the image and calling card for most colleges and
universities and I'm as big a fan as any.
But we also are in need of a permanent president for the university as
well and not too many are talking about that.
It makes us wonder about our priorities when a college football coach
can be offered over $28 million for a 5-year contract at one university
and presidents make a fraction of that.
I know the arguments for the system so there's no point in beating that
dead horse.
Nevertheless at USM we need
a president with an exciting vision and a long range plan. One who can balance Athletics and Academics
together on the same team. To paraphrase
the late Bear Bryant, you never see headlines about the Math department on the
front page or as the lead story. But in
a world where we are being surpassed by other countries in math and science and
finishing students can't even spell…we'd better start putting at least as much
emphasis on academic programs and leadership as athletics.
Just think about it. I'm Jim Cameron and we'd like to hear from
you.
