Woolard statement

[usf97]

Doug needs to just keep in mind, Skip isn't the only one who may be on the hot seat.

Genshaft doesn't play when it comes to PR.

I'm not as concerned whether Doug wants Skip gone as I am whether the players do.

This may be true

Really? If there is one thing Skippy does right, to a fault it would appear, is that he is a players coach.

I would be shocked to hear that the players have turned on him.

Can skipper turn this ship around? We really need some top coordinators in this program for Skipper to let loose. The biggest problem has been the defense... I don't know what is up with these players, it's like they have no self respect, they don't even put in effort. We should be 4-2 at the very worst and would be if the defense put in 110%, but it looks like they're only giving 2%.

The only comparable experience we have gone through was how Woolard handled the McCullum years.

If I recall correctly, the year before McCullum was fired, Woolard came out with a similar statement about not evaluating the situation until after the year. As things started to get louder toward the end of the year Woolard changed his policy and made a public statement that McCullum would be back the next year.

The year that he finally was let go, I believe Woolard made no public comments until after the season.

Let's see what happens in the next 4 games. If we lose all 4 or 3 out of 4 and don't get a public response from Woolard before game 11 I think Skip is gone. If

As the noise gets louder Woolard will need to make a public vote of confidence that they will keep him or if there is silence after game 10 I think that's a sign he is gone.

The public noise level will rise now with every loss.

Hiring friends, or family is generally not good for business.

Well then you better sit down... cause that's already started to happen.

[Triple B]

Who were the BCS programs that were looking into Holtz after last season? Really........... Why would they go after him after last years performance.

People at the level that are searching for head coaches, by nature, don't tend to be as myopic as fans are ..

Seems like a broad brush there Triple B. I can think of several dumb coaching seaches. The last two coaching searches by the Buccaneers didn't seem too particularly brilliant.

I would restate that as "People at the level that are searching for head coaches, by nature, think they aren't as myopic as fans are but that isn't oftentimes the case."

Objection sustained ...
