The guy can raise money. I'm competitive. I want to win. If he can deliver $$$ let's do it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it's Harlan we have to derail him ASAP. It's 3 years old and on a blog, SB Nation. And people talk about me sending a link to the top (MVP) AAAAAA QB in GA to CWT. Geesh. I never particularly was for or against Ironsides. Such things pop up for me and they're alarm bells. You shouldn't have such negative press to begin with. Even as bad as Woolard is, has he ever gotten bad press? Does getting fired for underperforming count as bad press? I'm guessing that went over some collective heads ....

Harlen's strength and background is fund raising and basketball. Both areas USF will need to improve in. This is very much a move to quickly try and fix the basketball program first which is obviously priority #1 for any AD given USF"s current situation.

I would honestly like to hear what USF thinks about the SBN accusations, and think they need to address it, but its highly likely that the work of a few angsty bloggers skewed his image. Overall, we need revenue and his track record says he is likely to deliver. We also need to win and they've done that at UCLA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's nice, but the jury is still out on Taggart. What. if. he. fails? Woolard obviously didn't know what he was doing with Holtz and it's questionable a guy like Harlan will if he's looking for a new football coach? That's the bread and butter, now more so than ever.

Do you take the guy that will vastly improve some key weaknesses (ie fundraising and bball, with the assumption that Taggart has football headed the right way) OR do you play it safe and find a "what if Taggart fails" guy? USF may be signaling a high level of risk taking: "we are betting Taggart fixes FB so we'll need a revenue, marketing, and bball person in charge" Edited March 8, 2014 by hm101 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

USF has to make this hire as he is suppose to be the best at fixing what's wrong with the major sports programs and men's hoops is the clear #1 thing on the list. If it was the other way around then Harlan might not be the guy they picked. Way to soon to even start thinking thinking about Taggart and the FB program.
