Stansbury Announcement

[Tailg8er]

Good luck to Jared, gonna miss him around here!

No reason to doubt him or CW that it's on his terms and amicable, you just rarely see someone quit their job (particularly a college sports job right before football season) without knowing what's next/having something lined up. Maybe CF just paid so well he's able to sit on his fat stacks having fun for awhile.

 

[Cloneon]

Waiting for the Huggins 180. Just kidding. With your talent success will find you again.

 

[ClonesTwenty1]

Time to bring in the Mouth of the Midwest Marty Terrell now.

Okay I’ll show myself out.

 

[CloneLawman]

I wonder if he'll still do Jared and JBo for Iowa Everywhere.

Get rid of JBo. Keep Jared.

It’s honestly amazing how many people don’t seem to realize that people can leave jobs on good terms, on their own terms. Not everybody is canned or “forced out.”

Are there many people on here that are saying that?

 

[Pope]

I've really enjoyed listening to your familiar voice and reading your articles over the years, Jared. Listening to you and Woody break down our football games each week was always my favorite podcast.

You're a very talented young man and, although I never knew you personally, you seem like a wonderful person. Thanks for all you've given to the Cyclone family and I wish you all the success in the world!

Yeah because you know the situation, I’m sure. Shut up and stop projecting!

I don’t know the story, but I know that it isn’t common to announce you’re leaving a job on social media mid week and not say where you’re heading to next unless it was unexpected

Oh come on. It’s not like this was the first the people that matter have heard of it.

It’s a little odd he’s leaving now vs the beginning of the summer, but I’m sure the people that needed to know knew before yesterday. We did not need to know.

I agree it’s very strange how this came out.

The fact that him and Woody just started a new podcast two weeks ago makes me think this wasn't in the works for very long.

That doesn't mean there was anything nefarious at foot, but you don't start a new pod if you plan on leaving, and your bosses wouldn't green light a new pod if they were unsatisfied with your work product and considering terminating you. Whatever lead to this decision, by whomever made it, had to have happened pretty suddenly/quickly.

Good points. And, of course, it doesn't have to involve nefarious actions on the part of the employer or employee. Sometimes it is just "here is where the road divides", occurring at a somewhat unexpected moment.

My assumption is some kind of external/personal life reason popped up unexpectedly and lead to a change of heart on Stanz's part and everyone at CF totally understood. Happens every day.

It's actually very common. For instance, Andy Staples left his job at the Athletic in May and didn't announce where he was headed until July 1st.

This seems to happen with every single media transition. They'll announce they're leaving on one date then a few days/weeks later they'll announce they've joined another place.

Yep.

Wondering if maybe the lawyer girlfriend has been encouraging him to think bigger? Not a dig on her just a thought.

If his GF is a lawyer maybe his next job is being " a kept man". Heck I'm not too proud to be a FT pool boy if my wife makes enough money.

Those guys usually have their next gig mostly lined up in advance regardless of when they announce it.

Best of luck Jared!

I wish you the best in your future Stanz. Jared’s articles on Men’s Basketball have always been so far ahead in quality and knowledge of every other article written by anyone else on CF about mbb, that he will be sorely missed. Enjoyed your comedic relief on podcasts too.

That's true in many cases, most people don't like the idea of leaving a job without having another one in hand already.

Just pointing out that media people don't tend to have the announcements that they're leaving and where they are going in the same tweet/article/podcast and oftentimes that second announcement doesn't come for quite a while.

Thank you Jared for all you did for us Cyclone fans and good luck on your new endeavors!
