The good ole boy network is alive and well.

Seriously, how can they give no thought to this at all. I just can't believe they didn't look outside the box. New ideas, maybe a new direction.

yep, the good ole boy network. Why did they even initiate a national search? Something tells me that Lyons was the pick all along!! I'm not saying anything against him because I don't know him, but, I think the should have taken time to AT LEAST consider other people.

the good ole boy network has not raised taxes and has expanded services for 14 years in a row. What do you want changed ? Lyons developed the master plan to handle disasters in 2003 - where you not satisfied how the city and the departments worked together during the tornados ? Why should we spend valuable tax dollars to do a search when we have the right man. Give him a year on secret double probation and then terminate him if he doesnt do the job ? Just give the guy a chance. If you look at his past performance, I thihk he will be fantastic.

As City employee I am very pleased with the decision Council made. Mr. Lyons has proven himself over time to be not just a boss but a leader. As a City resident and tax payer I would have been upset with City Council had they not promoted the man who has been preparing himself since 1996 for this position. I have complete faith and confidence that Mr. Lyons will assume his role in the City with enthusiasm and professionalism continuing to move our great City forward.

From what I know of Mr. Lyons, he will do a fine job. The good ole boy is leaving and the new one is coming in. I agree with Poncho, Lyons is a different man with a different perspective. Let's give him a chance. While new out of towners may have some great ideas, Mr. Lyons has the background to understand Murfreesboro's problems and its history so that neither repeats itself. I wish him well.

Rob Lyons has a degree in the field of city management and has done an outstanding job as assistant and deputy city mgr.It would have been a waste of money to seek a better fit for the city.

I'd like to know just exactly how much money the city wasted on their national "search" before going with Lyons...
I don't know anything about the guy, I hope he does a good job, for his sake as well as our own.
