For the record LRS, as much as I openly admire him, was not the AD when USF Football got their foot in the door. He played a role in getting into the Big East, but he was not the AD that got the program going and in the right direction - that was Paul Griffin.

I know that's the reason he gave. I'm skeptical. I was working as a journalist in Tampa at the time and among colleagues the immediate question when the Big East move was announced was, "they have to

AD is nothing but a fundraiser, scheduler, and help make hires. hell they hire consultants now for hiring coaches.

AD is not brain surgery.

Vandy doesn't even have one. a professor does it part time.

We certainly do miss Paul Griffin.

What other established college athletic department has an AD with no administrative experience prior to getting that job, pro athlete or otherwise? Brooks seems like a smart guy, I guess, but there are lots of smart guys out there. What qualifications does Brooks have to manage a whole athletic department?

Lee Roy Selmon was great for USF when it was getting its foot in the door in football. But it's no coincidence, in my opinion, that he was moved to a fundraising role and a new AD was hired as soon as USF got invited to a BCS league and perhaps a bit more nuance was required of the position. I think Woolard has done a good job so far. The only objection I have is Holtz's contract extension, but the jury's still out on that one.

And Lelo Prado's extension.
