A very fair post, in many respects.


I'm not sure what you mean by "vocal minority." Do you believe that only a minority of the fans are unhappy with the current state and results (but that those individuals are the loudest)? I'm not sure its a minority, if that's what you're suggesting.

Nevertheless, you're obviously right about the $$$ pool for staff. The hard part is that Fuente is still paid in the top 30 coaches or something, and we aren't remotely producing a top 30 product on the field, or off the field (recruiting). I understand that he needs the support, however, as you point out.

Our program is irrelevant. We had a sub-.500 record and we aren't recruiting. How do we overcome that, and where do we go from here, given the arms race in college athletics? Do we even want to try to "keep up" in the new age of billions? The overwhelming majority of our alum would suggest not, just by their refusal to donate.
