The Four Fs, maybe five, that drive new Northwestern AD Mark Jackson

No, this is the football board. Mark Jackson caught the touchdown from Elway to end The Drive.
Yikes. We’re both wrong for this one. The Mark Jackson I’m thinking of had some weird extortion scandal before he got divorced.

Hard pass for me on the wrong MJ.

BC v FSU

Lujan should get the game film from BC. BC OL and DL dominated FSU. QB Tommy Costellanos played great. Mike Wright has similar skills and could be as effective at NU if BC's scheme and NU OL are compatible
The final four words of your post are where the whole thing falls apart.

Theoretically, as one example… well, I guess we’re closer to BC’s OL than we are to OSU’s WR corps.

@lou v was at Northwestern today for the press conference announcing the hire of new athletic director Mark Jackson. Check out his column on what Jackson had to say and his vision for the future of Northwestern Athletics.
I thought Mark Jackson is a former NBA player.

Who’s the boring, stiff old white guy in this article?

These days there is another F that trumps the rest: FUND$.

Perhaps his NFL time will be his most meaningful preparation for the NIL era. The future is going to be so radically different from the recent past that prior AD experience will be about as useful as conducting a steam locomotive prior to taking a job at NASA.

I'm glad you got the chance to get the 4 F's after the formal presser, because I was not awed by what I heard to that point. I got the sense that he isn't really into formal presentations, that he is more of a schmoozer and likes informal person to person interaction. His best remarks the whole day were about his two sons, one who after seeing the football game lakeside asked if they were going to get a boat, and the other who after seeing the campus and facilities said, if they can get a nice house maybe he'll move in his senior (?) year of high school.

Frankly, I thought Gragg gave a better acceptance speech that Jackson. Shows how little speeches mean and how important what a person does day in day out. Time will tell if Jackson is a great Power 4 AD.
