![]() ![]() A history major at Duke, the 33-year old Scheyer will soon have to cope with following one of history’s most successful college coaches in Mike Krzyzewski. His recently-named successor is former Duke player and current assistant coach, Jon Scheyer. Coach K has now won 1,170 games in 45 years as a head coach (five at Army and then the next 40 years at Duke). Though a management succession plan is already in place at Berkshire Hathaway, the next primary leader of that company will feel a lot of heat from investors if he or she fails to keep delivering a rising share price in the future.Īt Duke University, major college basketball’s winning coach, Mike Krzyzewski (now 74) has already announced that he plans to retire after this coming basketball season. I started thinking about how hard it must be to follow in the footsteps of legendary giants.įor example, will any investment guru be able to measure up to the legendary Warren Buffett once he finally retires? He is still leading the multi-national business conglomerate Berkshire Hathaway at the youthful age of 90 with his ever-spry 97-year old sidekick Charlie Munger still a vital part of the team. Will they win back the +/- 200 local radio affiliates which have left Limbaugh’s gigantic umbrella after his passing a few months ago? Only time will tell, and I wish them both well. They have great energy, and the show has a lot of upside based on the first few days on the air. It’s hard to know which host was commenting at any particular moment. That show must have been quite difficult to produce for the several months which it aired.Īfter listening to a couple of days of the new replacement program, the biggest issue I see for “ The Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show” is that the two hosts (both about 40 years of age) sound quite a bit alike. The Rush Limbaugh Show sadly and slowly morphed into the “Rush Limbo” Show as the guest hosts were forced mesh current topics with previous audio clips of Rush Limbaugh’s thoughts on a similar matter at some point in the past. After he passed from lung cancer in early February, several capable local talk show hosts rotated substitute host duties in the time slot while creatively utilizing some of Limbaugh’s past audio clips to hammer home a point about current-day political issues.Īfter the first month of “Rush Tribute” radio shows, the daily audience started to dwindle and the network (Premier Radio) may have lost about 1/3 of the local radio station affiliates. Rush Limbaugh’s national radio show grew to include over 600 radio stations nationwide. ![]() His new partner, Buck Sexton, was a former CIA agent who initially learned the ropes working for Glenn Beck and has hosted a nationally syndicated evening talk show the past five years. “ The Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show” debuted Monday after February’s passing of talk radio giant, Rush Limbaugh.Ĭlay Travis is a conservative voice but his primary talk radio experience comes from several years as a nationally syndicated sports talk radio host. This week, I have listened for several hours of the new radio show which is trying to replace Rush Limbaugh in the 11AM-2PM Central time slot.
