it’s a good start

Sorry to hear about anyone losing their job but I Won't miss all of his negativity.   Everyone on the board that's been around a while knows that we are the only ones that have the "right" to be negative about our program.

Apparently he should have tried to groom a following of fans instead of being a **** whenever he could. USF needs a Bianchi.

He was awful on his best and should have been terminated years ago.  Offered zero value.  You get what you give.

Never hood to see people lose their jobs... I hope they all land on their feet

Never heard of him, maybe if I had he'd still have a job.

I worked for the Times back in 98'-99'. I recall telling my manager that one day in the future the internet was going to kill off most of the newspapers. 

He was like, no, people are always going to want to have a physical newspaper in hand.

Wow, I hadn't heard from him in so long, I actually thought he was dead. Go figure, he surfaces just in time for Holloween.

I think heas sadly wrong about "always" but until we dinosaurs go completely extinct, there will still be a shrinking market ...

As far as Fennelly goes, he was good at what he did but, again with the Internet, there are plenty of places to find people spouting their opinionated takes on things for free. Hope he lands on his feet somewhere ...
