She would have been a great hire about 15 years ago, but she's 72 years old.

This is the only negative I can see if this goes through. Maybe in the time she does serve, another qualified but younger alumnus can be sussed out to succeed her ....

If you can be 82 and be the US President there is no reason you can’t do the same at USF

Who would that actually be? We've got very few people with either a C-Suite position or an executive leadership position of some kind.

I get your point, but I doubt she's working that long.

One of her top goals is a Stadium,  if we are being told that the stadium target date is 2026 or 27,  that puts her at 76 or 77.  If she gets the stadium approved and construction started, she has cemented her legacy at USF and can either retire at 74 or 75, or stick around for the stadium to open.

This is right on. You never know what you’re going to get with a new hire on this level (see the knucklehead we hired last time), but this will be as close as we get. I especially like that she already has the political connections as well. I think we’re going to need those with any infrastructure improvements in the coming years.

Yep. She is in place, local and knows exactly what USF needs and most importantly, she is one of us.

Me either, have you ever seen The Man That Shot Liberty Valance? Read Robert Frosts Nothing Gold Can Stay or had a vacation fling? For the first sometimes big things need to happen and the person that does those things often times can’t be the one that has to worry about the 20 year repercussions of those decisions. For the second and third the beauty and greatness of something’s are that they are fleeting and sometimes longer is just longer.

True but that would still be an improvement over the last guy and this may be enough time to get the OCS process  going and in the works.

This. Let’s get the **** thing started under her leadership. Then she can retire.
