Harlan Has Work Cut Out

[usfgrad84]

Ok, you are Mark Harlan. As an AD, your primary mission is fund raising, selling tickets and making money for the department/School.

How do you sell tickets and raise funds with this boring, losing mess we call a football program?

[George_Bullnard_Shaw]

Having a fan play Score-O at halftime?

[BuckeyeBull9257]

Break into the e-Sports market.

If anyone can do it, Harlan can.  Hopefully

This is why I think he fires cwt this year and not after next year. How do you try and sell tickets to this garbage? It would be different if the team was improving and we were putting up points. The games are insanely boring, the few people in the stands today seemed very disinterested

I like how they try to cover up the stench with annoying music between plays and constant hype man in the stands.  LOOK!  IT'S FUN!!

number one: listen to the fans. They are your customers and you need to find out why they are not coming to the games, or participating.

Number 2:if there is something you cannot control, just tell the community. If you think it's going to be a while before we're good, let me know. Let me know that I can expect a rough couple years and come and watch a project of a team. But don't pretend like we're not losing.

number 3: be passionate. "Act as if". have a ridiculous, burning desire to succeed and act as if you are the last best hope in collegiate athletics to make a fantastic experience and a winning product. be innovative, take risks, do whatever it takes.

It definitely can't be like this come renewal time or the 10 fans we have left will not renew.

I know I won't be renewing if he's still here. I can take rebuilding, but this is boring.

The fans aren't coming because the product is rotten.

That won't change until the product gets good and stays good.

Fans are tired of empty promises and gimmicks. The fans have given up and it's not the fans job to come back. It's USF's job to win them back.

If that ever happens.
