The Tribe's Marketing and Promotions Director Mary Jane Ferguson was recently elected to the Southeast Tourism Society. Ferguson was hired by the tribe in 2004 for that position. She had none of the required credentials to run that program, and after four years of "on the job experience," she hasn't demonstrated anything impressive. Cherokee still is an eyesore downtown, and the casino, the tribe's and the state's top tourist attraction experienced a drop in profits. Ferguson was my boss, and I'd sure like to know what these guys saw in her, because they didn't see what I saw.
Stranger things have happened. Tennessee hired Oakland Raiders disaster Lane Kiffin after getting rid of a coach that took them to a national championship. Auburn hired Gene Chizik, whose career record was 5-19 at Iowa State after getting rid of a coach that took them to an undefeated season with a run for the national championship in 2004. Ferguson was hired over experienced and qualified applicants for the job.
As a program director under Ferguson, I was the quarterback. I've lined up in the I formation, and I'm reading blitz. Ferguson has just told me to bunt. The other managers under her are in the same situation. They have to be because the Marketing and Promotions division's response to the bad economy has been to pretend it isn't happening.
