The past is the Past.
This use to be attractive as a recruiting tool and tradition. Something to hang a hat on but face it.
The past AD Hamilton, Fulmer, Davenport, Cronan, Hart as AD combined with poor Choices of Coaches Kiffin, Dooley, Jones and Pruitt have put a death nail in the program.
What's more an Athletic Board that in-fought, sat on their hands, and/or attempted Coups to gain power/control. went unchecked
What's more, this is where the mediocracy sat in and got worse due to leadership or a total ability to problem solve.
We have always settled in these past years and these are the people at fault for doing so.
Might as well add the President to the list. Fulmer hanging around in the shadows did not help either. More of a distraction.
Think of the amount of Coaching Buyout Payouts in the last 15 years. Your Money at work.... this is where the incompetence and wasteful spending started with the group above.
