We have honestly convinced ourselves that other things matter but those are luxuries winning programs can afford and not fledgling ones. I do not care about personalities, I do not care about college degrees, I do not care about cultures and any other thing you can throw out there to excuse away failure. You play to win the games and that’s the only thing that matters until you start actually doing it. If we win and want to find a balance sure go for it but if it starts costing us wins again, stop it. So just follow a pro sports team and take a 3 month leave from this board. And a lot of the pro teams are horrible. Those losers from this weekend - the Packers, the Bucs. I mean what, they can't win a freakin Super Bowl more than 1 year in a row? Can't either of those teams find a coach? or a QB? They can't even reach the Championship game. Losers!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I start complaining about us not winning National championships that’s a pretty fair take, but I’m not complaining about that or even a single game. I’m complaining about how we can’t win any of the games against any of the teams we are supposed to be competitive with every week. Companies work best when there is a single priority by which all decisions are made and the top of this pyramid is winning. We say nonsensical things about building foundations and doing all the right things at the bottom to then get to the winning at the top. We are half a decade into that nonsensical approach and are not closer to winning than we were when vpmk arrived on campus (if anything it seems like we have flatlined at the bottom and his win graph steeply plunges down). Win more and whatever nonsense things you think are important fall into place, focus on everything but winning and you will never be here when the next guy comes in and works on it. If you didn’t extend CJS and told him stfu and win some ******* games or you are ******* fired by the middle of next ******* season and if I see you at any events, smiling one ******* time or you say one thing about culture or Clemson ever again I will personally choke you out. I think you would be pleasantly surprised about how he would miracle himself to 6 wins without issue. i would say winning is an afterthought and that’s the problem but it doesn’t seem to matter at all since if you win you get an extension and if you lose you get an extension. We gave CBG an extension this season and with that decision VPMK got an extension, if Jim Jones had done something similar there wouldn’t have been a single person that would have died in Jonestown. We somehow have been so beat down by those that continue to fail us that we think they are doing a great job and we should give them more money they can waste on not winning the right way.

It was just a ******* article about how all USF's student-athletes are doing on the student side ........ nothing more, nothing less. There's one posted pretty much every year. The fact that one of our board curmudgeons took it as an opportunity for more redundant whining is pretty funny, and sad, but I guess he's making up for lost time.

I even went back and made paragraphs out of what was originally intended to be one medium sized paragraph because I care. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
