Bellotti stepping down as AD?

[RR7]

Possible replacement--Current Senior Associate AD (since 2002) Renee Mack Baumgartner, a Portland native who coached Oregon women's golf from '87-'93, then '96-2000. And, today is her 45th birthday. Maybe his resignation is Bellotti's gift to her.

Wow, she coached at 22 years old? Imrpessive.

While continuing her education as well (she graduated from USC in '87, and got her Masters in '89, and then a PhD in '96, for good measure). Smart cookie.

Getting out while the getting is good?

Sanctions on the horizon?

Re: OT: Breaking news

Nevermind, didn't realize there was already a thread about this in the OT forum.

 

[MickZagger]

I heard that Bellotti is leaving because of a conflict with others in Eugene about not wanting to pay the new basketball coach more than Chip Kelly. Some around there want to make a really splashy hire and are willing to spend as much as it takes to get it done. Just rumor.

I heard it was something about his wife and the parking lot...

Fixed...

Wow! Must be an ego thing.

that or he might want to earn a fat check for doing very little. Dude has already put millions in the bank... that goes a long way in Eugene. Pulling an ESPN analysts check on top of that would allow him to enjoy some serious time off without completely raiding the nest egg

He's selling his soul for health care.

boy the national perception of this move is terrible

 

[STOMP]

boy the Canzano and OSU perception of this move is terrible

fixed... having read through the articles at the various national sites, they dryly recount the bad stuff that has recently gone on. There is some speculation that he will eventually return to coaching but pretty much the reaction outside of Oregon seems to be meh... no one cares
