Case study Decision

Coach Dodge, a man of major spotlight for more than a year now, is my choice for my case study. I have a partner I'm working on this with. I think it will be a good case study to do because I already know a little bit about his story and what I think his tipping point was. I think the football program scandal, accusing Dodge and his fellow coaches of racism/favoritism, shined a negative light on Dodge and his team. It would not have been so bad if the team was excelling on the field but Dodge didn't live up to all the hype that surrounded his arrival to UNT. So with a high paid salary and a strong reputation Dodge should have been on his a game, winning sunbelt conferences and building a legacy of football family instead, the scale tipped and the media is very unforgiving. They began to question his worth. There were articles derived from the allegations; most of Dodge's players defended him, stating they are all like family and the accusers were not accepting responsibility for their actions. I am half way excited to be working on this case study. At first I was concerned on my topic and layout but not I feel more confident.

Golin Harris Visit

I really enjoyed my visit to Golin Harris visit. It was informative and free, which I absolutley love. I think it was worth my friday. I learned there are not always jobs available but interships are in abundance. I feel like every agency has cubicles, a little disturbed by that, don't really care for a cubicle. But the people there actually gave me faith in agencies. They were nice and really took the time out to show us the ropes and even asked for our opinion. I maybe would have kept time-management more closely. Maybe even cut a few presentations, I wont name names, but the consumer gut who wasn't prepared and the inside edge lady who was sweet but just caught us at a bad time. We had just ate plus, the day ticked by after three o'clock passed. She seemed nice and very skilled at her job. If given the opportunity I would definately go again. Thanks to my profesor for inviting me and Golin Harris for hosting us.
