So with all the rantings and ravings about whether this is a good hire or not, what is the time frame for understanding if it is or is not and what are you looking for to decide if it is or isn't?

 

Are we just looking at wanting to build winning teams?  What is a winning team that deems success?  Are we happy to be back to those 9-4 years in the first couple of years.  do we need to make the tournament 2 or 3 years in row? to deem sit was a successful hire?

 

The way some act around here if we aren't considered for a P5 conference soon it doesn't matter what the records are, some will deem it a failed hire.  

 

Just curious what the sentiments are.

I'd like to say that even though I'm not the biggest fan of this hire, I'm now behind Harlan 110%. I think of this like the start of conference play in football-what's the past is the past, it's a new

I am hoping and think he may be a home run hire. If anything, he comes from an environment that competes with several pro teams, a transient community, a community that has fans from other schools, a

This guy asking this 5 minute question needs to shut up.

 

Was watching on BullsVision.  Who was that person?

No clue, and no disrespect to him, but that was a very strange and awkward moment.

Did he walk from one end of the room to the other? I guess to meet the family while talking?

Yeah, the room was a little tense and Doug had an interesting look on his face during that question; Very much, WTF man moment.  No disrespect to him for asking it, but I agree with his answer; ask him in a couple of months once he has had a chance to digest the issues

 He was in a wheel chair; he was handing them "finish strong" bracelets.

From what I read, Harlan answered those questions the best way. He didnt go crazy and proclaim that USF should look to get out of the AAC like the Cincy AD did. He just said that USF needs to worry about theirselves. It is a nice way to say that USF will jump to a power5 if ever asked.  I dont think any school would pass that up, but I liked his professional response to that question. Also, I liked how he handled the OCS question too. Very professional responses to questions that he will have to continue to answer over and over again.
