The only real decision you have to make is hiring the football coach and giving him full control. Get it right and that makes all of your other decisions right.
There's just no excuse for the Auburn AD.. the FSU AD.. and Ark.. UofSC.. USC.. and on and on.
I may not know golf, track, crew, swimming or wrestling, but I know a football coach when I see one and yes, I would have hired the right guy. I was a Dabo guy from nanosecond one. Check the archives.
