I hope, forevermore, that one non-negotiable qualification of President of BYU

is wanting BYU athletics to succeed to a greater extent than our rival. I just don't feel like BYU athletics moved forward much under Samuelson. I'm sure he did his best, but others would have done more. When the heart isn't aligned with the job description, you don't get transcendent performance.
