Nelson's New Mexico reconstruction dangerously unsound

So, it's clear that Jeff Nelson, new head coach for the Lobos, has his work cut out for him. But we're concerned that in his haste to rebuild, Nelson is taking shortcuts that will ultimately doom the program to collapse in on itself. Take this quote:

"Building a program is the foundation on what we are going to do here at UNM."

Now, we're more than happy to assume that there's a typo in that sentence, and "on" is meant to be "of." But that doesn't help much. Follow along: If you're building a program, you need a foundation first. So we have one foundation, of the program, that Nelson also wants to have serve as "the foundation on (of) what we are going to do here at UNM."

That's one foundation supporting two different purposes! And as any structural engineer--or rudimentary grammarian--worth their salt will tell you, that's asking for trouble. Next thing you know, Nelson's going to endanger the lives of modifiers by dangling them in front of participial phrases, or engage in logical fallacies that make apophasis look like paralipsis.
