doug has been a target for years. it started with leavitt, got louder in Holtz's second year with realignment, got to a scream in 2012, and continues today with horrid attendance and still no realistic vision communicated to the fans regarding the conference/national competitiveness

What does that even mean?? "Realiistic vision regarding the conference/national competitiveness" ..... sounds like mumbo jumbo. And I'd love to know who DW has been the target of for years, outside of a few rabble rousers on this board.

Sounds like the reporters must spend a lot of time researching Voodoo 5 because outside of a few on here, that is the only place that consistently complains about DW.

You're talking about the two main online communities for USF fans. This board may not have any pull but it does represent a decent cross section of the fan base.

This is all absurd, anyway. Even if the beat guys HAD asked the question about the run stalling, it's a perfectly legit question and far, far from what I would consider a "cheap jab".

Did finally read the column this morning and have to agree somewhat with the naysayers, primarily based on this:

Athletic director Doug Woolard said the sparse turnouts won't keep his department — with revenue streams that also include portions of a conference TV contract — from keeping its budget balanced a 10th consecutive year.

And amid calls for his job (and, to a far lesser degree, Taggart's), Woolard remains encouraged by Taggart's groundwork for the future and the audiences of the past. In 2007, when the Bulls briefly were national darlings, two crowds (West Virginia, UCF) exceeded 65,000.

Really?? I'd like to see some evidence of these higher degree calls for DW's head .... outside of the Numbnut Legion on this board .... which is anything but a higher degree.

Jeff, you've been very gracious to come in here and engage with us...would you please elaborate on the reported calls for DW's resignation?

    "There is no inherent fear among this group of players. The fear of failing drove the program from day one - the fear of failing the coaches, the fan base, the university, each teammate, themselves. Now, as we head into the biggest game in our history at home on a national stage against the highest ranked team to step on OUR field, the players are taking an introspective look at themselves. Unfortunately, I don't know if they get it. They lack the fear."

    Last I checked the scoreboard doesn't have a spot for current bank balance on it.
