current meltdown of our football program, then it must be coaching. In any business environment, when a department staffed with good personnel performs poorly, then it can only be one thing causing the problem, poor or non-performing management. therefore . . . clean house at the top. Such is life in America.
Our football program is, like it or not, a multi-million dollar BUSINESS. Most of our other athletic programs rely very heavily on the performance of the football team - financially, as well as in the win/loss area. We cannot afford a 2-3 year spin-out in football. SOS needs to be reminded that our football program is not the ATO fraternity house at UF c. mid-1960's; you can't carry your poorly performing brothers (or sons) due to fraternal loyalty.
Tanner must clean this mess up. I like Pastidis's recent explanation for the need to remodel the historic-document laden Caroliniana Library on the Horseshoe. Looking the library director square in his eyes, Dr. Pastidis said. 'Scott, if this library fails structurally with all those historic records still in the building, you and I will immediately present our resignations!'
Following the meeting referred to above, all of the books, documents, etc., in the Caroliniana Library were temporarily stored in the Hollings Library Annex, 5 million dollars in funds were obtained from the legislature, and another 5 million will be raised in SIX WEEKS to bring the old library up to standard.
Our AD needs to be as direct with SOS as our Prez was with his library director (Caroliniana). Get the job done - now! JMHO.
