Time For A Tidal Wave

"Just a really tough day," Coach Mike Shula said.

My tolerance point is beyond saturation. After a humiliating defeat at the hands of a hapless Mississippi State football team, the above statement was the comment from Mike Shula. You have got to be kidding me!!

Where is the outrage? Where is the incredulous disappointment by the head coach? Where is the responsibility? Where is the accountability?

For the players, the potential recruits, the University, the fans, the students, the alumni...it is TIME NOW for leadership from the AD's office.

Every passing day is conceding that mediocrity has become our mantra.

Shula fails to show the tough leadership, the management and delegation of authority, the enthusiasm and determination required of a Head Coach.

Coaching isn't an 8-5 day at the office. Coaching is a full time calling and commitment to showing vision and leadership.

Let's hope that someone in authority at the University is tired of mediocrity, or in this case, apathy.

If the University officials are not going to take responsibility, it is time for the “A” Club members to step up and speak out. It’s time for the alumni to step up and make their voices heard. I for one will withhold my alumni contributions until this crisis is resolved. And yes, it is a crisis. It is beginning to resemble a lack of institutional control, and the voice of the fans and the alumni may be the only way to resolve this crisis.
