Woolard hired Stan Heath. He (obviously, not personally) upgraded the Sun Dome, built new baseball and softball stadiums, new golf training facility, new basketball training facility, made the deal with UA, made the deal with Apple for laptops for the student-athletes.

Yeah, he hasn't moved us forward. [/sarcasm]

Oh, young hatter...You can cover your ears and hide your eyes but some day you will have to face the reality that people you assumed were smart sometimes make some really, really dumb decisions.

I don't believe the Leavitt allegations are manufactured, just blown way out of proportion...I had a high school coach that used to slap us, punch us (not hard), and headbut us on the helmet. Saban sl

Blessing in disguise for Leavitt. Guy was hired by Jim Harbaugh, and a coaching part of arguably the best d in the nfl and doesn't have to deal with whiny usf fans. Not dealing with this crap th

I just get the feel the DW isn't liked within the department.

I should have Heath in there because it was a good hire.

All the new facilites may be for naught. Let's hope that isn't the case.

3+ years and Pete/Mizzou can still tear this fanbase apart at it's core...

A "media member" fired from local outlet for his questionable activity.

He was fired for his questionable activity? I thought the dying media outlet that is the Tampa Tribune was just looking to save money. Who is covering USF athletics for them now?

Adam Atkins covered USF after him, if you're trying to insinuate his termination was a result of downsizing.

Not sure that I was trying to insinuate, it was a fairly direct statement. I don't recall then, nor can I quickly find now any formal letter of apology or recantement of any of the news pieces the Tribune published by Brett McMurphy. If he was truly terminated because they felt he reporting was unethical I would expect some statement (maybe it is there, I didn't follow this story that closely). As I recall they replaced a 20 year veteran with someone pretty much directly out of college and then quickly after that replaced him with "staff reporters". It seemed obvious the move was more a result of the general trend a the Tampa Tribune to reduce staff to work within the smaller budgets.

You can believe whatever you'd like.

do we have any proof in either direction?

His career has really taken off since being fired or laid off from the USF beat.

I would rather have crappy facilities and winning teams.

Does not exist

Not true - Miami did it for years before they shot themselves in the foot and joined the ACC.

About Doug, I agree that he has done some stupid stuff by giving Holtz a contract extension, and is not an honest guy since he is apparently doing some tom-foolery behind the scenes with contracts, including his own.

Over all I give him a "C" and he only gets a "C" because of the new facility upgrades alone.

Uh...I didn't give no one no steenking contract extention and I haven't had a single losing season as the football coach, so don't blame me for the Bulls' bad, bad situation.
