Dave,
You can add my name to those who endorse Jill Geer.

She's a nice person. No doubt.
But HOW did she get her job? Nepotism?
...There is no ideal solution.
A congressional investigation and shut it down and reboot?
Nike take over and remake it?
There is no ideal solution.
You are not doing Jill any favors. By mentioning her name, you are just helping Stephanie and crew populate a hit list of threats. The top people from Masback era already left, leaving few legit leaders on staff (why do you think McNees is there - no real threat to take CEO job from Hightower or even Logan for that matter).
You stupid shit. They can put in a track and field in a weekend at any football or soccer sized venue, then take it out.
You stupid shit. They can put in temporary stands in two days at Stanford then take it out after the meet is over.
You stupid shit. We're not playing football. We're the best sport in world. The best athletes, volunteers, and fans reside all across the USA, not just on the left coast.

Construction of and removal of an IAAF 400 meter class2 track in The Medowlands in one weekend and on the third day will you declare LET THERE BE LIGHT!~!
Or are you thinking of just throwing up the 11 lapper MSG has no use for?
Anyone need portable lights ? Call Musco. We can bring day light to LAX's four 12,000 foot runways on a moment's notice.
Mi Mexican hermanos can put in a track/field. Donde tu want it, verdad ?
Rich Kenah is still perhaps the best bet.....marketing, operations, athlete, promotions, television. He's got a very balanced background, and also a smart guy. Respected by almost everyone.
You have to be making a joke yes , this guy is not qualified to run a hot dog stand , he's an athlete thats tried to push himself as something far more than his abilities.
People may like him but he is not qualified to be a be a CEO , work within the organization yes , nothing more.
really?
how many Diamond League meets do you run? how many Oly medalists do you market? how many sponsors have you secured?
and the other options that are better are....???....

You stupid shit. They don't want the meet there. Lananna was the driving force behind making Stanford the place to go.
another insider and a lightweight. he'd be dumb enough to take the ceo job though and get butt rammed by ian and stephanie.
After London 2012 isn't Lananna slated to start his own track club down in Dago ?
He does not run any of the meets , he is a participant in management , markets medalist's ? give a me break a couple of "given" shoe deals and some side BS stuff .
None today but did help evolve the concept , medalists and record holders more than maybe anyone than anyone I can recall and Ive been out of the sport for years. Sponsors , wow , good question , smallest something like "Power Bar " , biggest was probably Fuji at 7 figures plus.
CEO is greater role than the just involvement , our problem is just what you are stating to be qualified as a candidate. No company in world the size of US track would consider a candidate with your criteria as CEO material.
My opinion would be to grab a very senior person out of one of the shoe companies.
Why ? Direct P & L responsibility , marketing and selling of products in global arena ( this probably has included TV , print and social media , athlete integration , event sponsorship expenditures and ROI ) , building yearly business plans presented to a board for approval , hiring , firing and restructure when needed. Knowing corporate culture and maintaining the culture through a bigger vision that inspires the organization to greater heights.
Lananna was the driving force behind making
Right. Lanana sure coached alot of Oly medals, IAAF WC medals, and Major Marathon medals. How many in his career ?
Stephanie Hightower has my vote.
If you would have Hightower be CEO , please take your head and stick it back up your ass where it belongs.
