Robinson, of course, is the brother of Michelle Obama. He was recently fired as the head basketball coach at Oregon State.

I think he would make an interesting candidate for Loyola's AD, given his Chicago roots, business background, political connections, and coaching experience.

If he (or whoever) gets hired, somebody send him 63's podcast. He'll have no choice but give him a weekly radio show.

Robinson ?? Wow ! darned interesting--

Swella's report on him--
---Business background--excellent point for him---Grade A
---Michelle's Brother--Can't help who your relatives are--sad for him and so what? Grade D -
---Political connections--Might help--Grade B
---Chicago Roots--excellent---Grade A +
---Coach qualifications-- not so hot --Grade C -

But not knowing what LUC is really looking for, he might just work out--If he has what LUC wants in an AD

Just what we need: a guy who failed at his last job. Get real.

Craig Robinson is sharp in many ways. He’s good with donors, as his campaigning helped fund a $15 million practice facility that opened last summer. He’s good with the press. Really, he’s ideally suited to be an athletic director. Some school with a future opening for an administrator would do well to look his way.

Well, there you are---
As for the opening argument for consideration of Robinson, the five points Swella listed were pretty darn good except of course Oregon St as Coach---but then Coaching is not germane I would think---
His being a relative of Mrs Obama --why bring it up ?? Useless in this case---Maybe if he were to be a Ward Alderman or Chgo Dog Catcher or the like, yes ---

BUT the rest in the opening statement would help immensely I would think---- Plus what is now reported by Swella --Well. are these items pretty much what an AD must have strength in ??? I think, yes .

Now then I wonder if an application from this gentleman is sitting on Fr G's desk===Hmmmmmm !
