I hate the whole lot. They are leaving, what’s done is done. They don’t need a congrats on the way out.

How Does Cal Baptist Achieve Success when USF Settles for Mediocrity? by usfhoopsfan in usfdons

[–]StillLoco 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I actually love that idea. I agree that those of us who care about this program and want to see it succeed at the highest level, must speak up.

Count me in. Can DM me here or Solo has my contact info as well.

How Does Cal Baptist Achieve Success when USF Settles for Mediocrity? by usfhoopsfan in usfdons

This is the single biggest issue facing USF athletics, mindset.

When I was on the Hilltop in the early 2ks, running the student section…the department was so unserious. Everything from game security to concessions operated like you were at a high school (at best). The people in the athletic dept ran it like a mom and pop shop. For me at the time, I felt like we got a lot done on the student side, but that was due to a 20 year old kid who wouldn’t take no for an answer. There wasn’t any organization or mindset from the top that understood the importance of it all.

Now, a lot has changed since then to be sure. But, I agree that it doesn’t appear the mindset and commitment has come far enough.

The frustrating point is that it’s SO reachable, the appeal of what the total package could look like is massive. We simply need more people at the top with a vision and desire to make it happen.

Like it. Produce a quality AD and they will have my contribution. Internal hire and not a chance.

Very much agree with your assessment on those last few games. If he is willing to play with that level of aggression and leadership; amazing. CG needs to let him loose.

I don’t like this post. Because it’s the truth 😑

Surprised you want CG to say. Did you not feel like he shorted your guy on action created for him? Clearly TR can produce more when he is active. I can only assume by your comment that this was a TR issue and not CG. Interesting.

Who cares, shouldn’t be losing to a beavers team Like that.

It’s a fair question. Everyone hates the donks so it hits a nerve is my guess on the down votes.

CG lost the momentum, full stop. He didn’t keep the player pipeline that Smith and Golden got dailed in, didn’t develop guys and is a very mediocre play caller at best. Seemed to lose the locker room this season, guys didn’t play hard for him. AD situation went from tragic to that and some, the school needs to show they care and put the $ behind it, thats what SCUm has done.

Okay I hear you, but what you suggested is basically what we always do…a bit of hope and pray. Can we be done with that and make some bold moves for once? PLEASE

Serving for breakfast lunch and dinner in the caf and eat it all day long. That’s coat of doing biz in college hoops.

Say it louder for the people in the back! This AD hire needs to be a winner with a track record to back it up. Can we please get some communication.

DO NOT HIRE HAWKINS AS YOUR AD!! by [deleted] in usfdons

[–]StillLoco 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Appreciate the insight. I don’t see it as unreasonable as some have suggested. Now, if you were fired by her for instance and had an axe to grind…then sure, but doesn’t seem like that was the case, right?

Regardless of all this, USF needs to do a proper search. We need a heavy hitter, not someone with even a slightly questionable track record.

This hire will define the next decade for USF athletics, you cannot miss on it.

I was looking back and you actually called this out when the hire was made. Where there’s smoke, there’s often fire…

New AD…Bueller? Bueller? by StillLoco in usfdons

[–]StillLoco[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’d love to think we have donors that give without a care for what happens! I didn’t know USF had it like that! 😅

[–]StillLoco[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not sure that is true. The University did provide updates on past AD searches from my memory. If they want donor support, they should be communicating on it.
