Warde says he is making decisions (or non decisions) based on what he think is best for the school and not based on the fanbase/critics. Right or wrong, the criticism is clearly reaching his ears and he's not happy about it.

Hard to disagree with Brian's take on Warde given the track record over the last few years but glad he quickly hired May. I thought it would be interesting for the board to hear his side of things.  

-----------------------------------------------

EDIT: Wendy5K said it quite well regarding some of the attack here. I quote: "They veer into personal attacks, sound truly hateful, and many are attacks on his weight. It's one thing to say you didn't like how he handled the Mel Pearson situation, and give rational reasons why. But constantly digging at him and his appearance and making him seem like an ineffectual oaf is beneath us." 

Please refrain from such ad hominems. This is a warning.

I have rolled my eyes at what Warde has done. 

I have read the comments on this board and have come to the conclusion that whenever Warde leaves Michigan, the next AD better be from the MGoBoard. We need someone to wow the BoR and the President with their expertise. You know, someone who will say fuck the ncaa, fuck the conference and to hand-out blank checks to coaches, players and recruits.

I’m pretty sure many in the fan base wanted Warde to fire John Beilein as well. These are not overly patient or overly reasonable people. Lot of them are flat out dumb asses. 

If you ever called or Coach Beilein to be fired you are an idiot

If you ever called for Coach Harbaugh to be fired you are a fool

If you are one of the many that would have fired both, you need to watch It’s a Wonderful Life to get a glimpse of what could have been if your dumb ass was in charge
