What, I think, would be very helpful and give the fans a better understanding of what this is all about.....is a statement from the President stating what her goal is for Athletics. Just saying "we want to win in football and basketball" would be insufficient. A thorough statement regarding both the competitive and financial aspects of athletics is important. A statement regarding how athletics is to be a part of the entire university experience....as opposed to just being an independent section. A statement clearly defining what is expected of coaches in regard to competition, graduation, fundraising and behavior are all terribly significant. I hope we don't get a "behind closed doors" selection. We also have to realize the world we live in. In the world of sports in media, you notice the announcers/analysts/broadcasters.....there is always representatives of both genders, of all racial backgrounds and total diversity. I know we are not supposed to be talking politics here....and I hope this is not viewed in that light. Without saying if it is good, bad or indifferent, the trend is now toward female ADs, i.e. Delaware----William and Mary, etc. Facts are facts...so nothing should surprise us.......My only hope is that this is an open process, with the President making clear the ultimate goal.

Maybe not and while the timing was weird, Turge's offense was unwatchable. No ball movement. Incredibly slow pace. Fans were turning on him. Students as well. They lost to a Va. Tech team at home that lost to Wake Forest by 20 in Blacksburg. They beat Hofstra by 2. They lost to a GMU team that isn't that good. They lost to Louisville in the Bahamas with Mike Peguese as the interim coach because Mack is suspended. It's tough to replace a HOF coach that won a title. Anything less than a Sweet 16 in most years is going to be considered a failure. They have no excuses. DMV+Baltimore. Some of the best talent in the nation and most end up elsewhere. Was a big fan growing up. Just paying attention now, but don't really care if they win or lose. Went there for a year when Bob Wade was coaching and they didn't win an ACC game. That was after Len Bias died and they gave out 4,000 jersey and sh-t the bed at home against Va. Tech. I think it's tough nowadays to root for P5 programs when the roster changes every year unless you are Duke or Gonzaga and replacing 5* guys with 5* guys even if you lose three five star guys.
