I am sure one of them pissed him off with a suggestion or change. I really have no idea how he got so far professionally with such thin skin while pissing people off along the way.  

I haven't yet unfollowed him on twitter so I keep getting daily summary emails. He seems much more engaged at Utah.

When DickieV tweets this, I'm betting he knows the answer to that question

If you think your USF ticket is worth x amount based on your seniority, I don't see how/why you're going to change your mind just because you get to buy your cheap seats for one season longer.

I will add this: Harlan ticked off big donors early in his tenure for a reason I’ll leave undisclosed. The real problem is a very, very small group of wealthy @USFAthletics Suggestion: Knock on big business doors locally.

Most always 3 sides to every story. Maybe the same could be said for whoever he pissed off .... regardless, looks like he wasn't a good fit here. He's better off now and hopefully USF will be too.

One thing I give him props for is getting rid of the ******** grandfathered seating arrangements in football and basketball.

This just in:

 

New AD Harlan has arrived at Utah

June 10, 2018 Associated Press 

(excerpts)

"...(Harlan) says he loves the weather, it reminds him of LA...."

"...among those pissed off by Harlan en route to Utah: one Uber driver, sky cap, ticket counter representative, attendant at "in-Flight to GO!", gate attendant, two flight attendants, one co-pilot,  one pilot (mildly upset), person sitting to his left, entire row in front of him, gentleman in adjoining stall, baggage claim assistant, National Car Rental shuttle driver and his own wife."

"...he (Harlan) meets the top two donors on Monday"

Yet that pi$$d off a lot of people.  And, instead of doing it like was done at Penn State, where a former Bulls Club employee had faced the same issue, he did it in like 4 months here.  So there was no time to soft serve it to people.  Just ram it down their throats. His way or the highway.

So how long is the proper time to soft serve people that think it’s their birthright to pay pennies on the dollar for their premium tickets? They felt it was their entitlement I don’t know that they could have been convinced no matter how they were slow boiled that they should pay actual money to watch USF football.

Obviously more than 3 or 4 months.

But why? It ends the same, why is it worse to rip off the bandaid quickly and decisively?
