calumnus

Hey there: I thought I'd run this by someone I respect before posting. I thought, with all the heat developing under Tedford, especially with regard to recruiting after the completion of the SAHPC, I thought I would come up with a list of qualities that we can fairly use to evaluate the performance of a HC. Some of the list is my own personal creation and some of it comes from some google searches on the topic.

If you would be so kind as to take the time to review the list and give your feedback, I would appreciate it. My plan is to post the list as an opportunity for folks on both sides of the Tedford issue to make their points in a more specific focused way. But I don't know if the list is fair or accurate. In the thread, I will post the necessary links as well.
Here is the list:
