For a career advancement, nothing

Nothing becuz they are leaving to take promotions, not lateral moves.

That being an AD at Southern Miss pays better than being an assistant AD at USF.

 

Seriously, though. I think the whole point of being an assistant AD is to eventually become athletic director. It probably wasn't going to happen for him at USF. I don't see Woolard leaving willingly any time in the near future, and if something were to happen where we would need to fire the athletic director, I'd think they'd probably want to get rid of him too and start fresh.

Just a clarification, Bill wasn't an Assistant AD at USF, he was the Executive Associate AD .... a title that was made for him (ie - we never had one of those before). Which was the #2 position in the department.

 

I would not assume this is a pay raise (it might be, but that is not clear cut).

Personally I don't know if it's good or bad, but reading other blogs on it, looks like the guy could have treated people in the AD better. But who cares at this point? The guy's gone, so I'm hoping we can get someone solid that can handle people and press.

 

He's been around since 2007, the last year we really factored in the national scene, so maybe he was just bad luck! Go Bulls!

Tony Dungy for Exec Assistant AD and take over of AD once Woolard leaves!

I can dream

There's a difference between dreaming and fantasizing ..... That's a full blown fantasize.

Many turn down promotions at other places if they are already at a real good place. College sports is different, but I would not leave my firm solely for a promotion. Especially, as in this case, a lower quality program/firm. But people do different things for different reasons.

That video must be the Athletic Department reaction to the news.

 

Can you please explain?  I had asked in the other thread if this was a good or bad thing.  

 

 

Sure.

 

I have heard from more than a handful of those who work/worked in the Athletic Department that he was terrible to work for and the reason why there has been so much turnover there lately.
