You will also see I have laid blame at the feet of Whit and Fu for not pitching a vision, and for lack of communication.

I agree, articulate the future and donors will be more apt to spend.

It does feel as the times have changed as far as money needed to be as competitive as we were in peak Beamer years. There was a sharp curve up. At this point, the curve is still sharp and we can't produce enough to snap our fingers and be there. It will certainly take years. Years of vision, a plan to get there, and a steady hand to guide us.

Maybe you are right and Fu isn't the guy. He certainly isn't the great communicator we would all prefer him to be. I don't think he lacks vision, as he has built a program from decimation to success. So, anyone got a media member on speed dial....that would be a pointed question worth asking, no? I assume after the season, the 50,000 ft view.
