St.PeteSlim89 Posted March 15, 2023 Group: Member Topic Count: 2 Content Count: 227 Reputation: 140 Days Won: 0 Joined: 09/29/2013 Share Posted March 15, 2023 Here’s an interesting matchup - 15th seed Gardner-Webb, whose AD is Andrew Goodrich, is playing 2nd seed Utah, whose AD is Mark Harlan. For those that don’t know, Goodrich used to be an Associate AD for us. He left us to go up north somewhere, and is now at Gardner-Webb in his first AD job. I’m sure everyone on this board knows who Harlan used to work for… Except for one time when he had his secretary return my call (instead of him calling) I didn’t have any problems with Harlan, and thought he was ok. Better than Woodard, who acted like he was doing you a favor when you talked to him. However, I really liked Goodrich, and hope that he will come back someday as our AD/VPA/whatever they decide to call the job. It’s March Madness, and I’m cheering for Goodrich to win the former USF ADs/Associate ADs bracket. Who do you like? Harlan or Goodrich?

He worked at USF Athletics twice, and got his PhD from USF. I worked with him his first time here. Got to root for the upset! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Go Bulls I had the exact opposite interactions with the two ADs you mentioned. Other than one civil conversation at a tennis match with Harlan he never had much to say. Always got along well with Doug. But Andrew is my guy. So Gardner Webb for me in this battle. Which means Utah will win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So you're the one. Congrats on your unusual and remarkable good fortune. Wouldn't piss on MH to put out the fire. He treated USF and people in general with equal malintent. Andrew is a great guy and wish him only the best. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guess Harlan wins the bracket. Happy to see that others thought highly of Goodrich also. Maybe he’ll be back on Fowler Avenue someday. Currently watching ECU vs Texas. Nice to know that our young ladies beat both these teams this year. Go Bulls Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, I have a new local team and rooting interest this season. Should be fun. Go Dawgs! 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Said he knew he had to work his way up. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
