I think this was from yesterday. He was on talking about a new book about Michigan football. Anyone heard anything about it?
Book
True, but....
It all fits, doesn't it? Bill Martin was utterly clueless when it came to personnel. Time after time in the book, it's abundantly clear that he has no feel for what makes people tick, how to anticipate or respond to their needs, etc.
It sounds like he could have used a steady diet of Oprah and the WE channel for about a year before accepting the AD job.
Personal Confirmation
I've actually dealt with Bill Martin on the real estate end of his life, and this is pretty much an accurate assessment. He does seem to walk around in a selfish haze...

Ugh, the first minute of that
Ugh, the first minute of that is every reason why I think Huge is the biggest blowhard on radio.

Does not miss that dope. I'm amazed he has a job.

give you $36 if you take him back. He's an absolute turdbasket. Trust me, he makes Sean Baligian almost listenable, who judged by his own merits should be mercifully drowned like a sack of kittens.

Spot on with that assessment
I'm not sure what it is I dislike about the guy the most: his rah-rah crap for State all the time or his shallow, poorly thought-out predictions that almost always are wrong.

THE HUGE SHOW IS TERRRRRIIIBBBLLLLLLLLEEEE
But that being said I listened to a lot of the Bacon interview yesterday on the way home and it was good ... mostly because Bacon was talking a lot, and "Huge" (read: dipshit) hardly said anything.
In the interview, Bacon mostly re-hashes everything he's already said in the stuff Brian posted. But it was cool to hear him actually say it. Sounds like a very smart, unassuming guy who has his shit together; knows the difference between what he knows and what he thinks he knows. He sounds very credible and I'll probably believe everything I read when my copy finally gets delivered.
Hopefully this book puts some pressure on Carr/Martin/etc to speak up and explain themselves -- but they probably won't.

Half way through the book. It is hard for me to get my head around the lack of support for RR during the transition. When I hire I take a significant amount of time to inform, educate and "on-board" my new staff. If the book is correct RR had almost no help. I find this incredible.
