Fans can be critical, but don’t sink to the level of namecalling and insulting.  Stay classy.  

I am not sure I care enough anymore to rant and name call. We have embraced the culture of losing.  A perfect example is CBG tweeting from Greece with his daughters and all the well wishers.  Fans that didn’t care that he never even had a winning record in conference in his 6 years, they simply showered him with praise and complimented him on his tenure here. I have never witnessed a bigger collection of apathetic losers, I don’t blame Kelly, he is a lousy AD on his best day, however our fans have embraced the suck and to me no longer care anyways.  I guess this is a semi-rant, but more at the fans, we accept this level of crap.

Well it's his job to make USF attractive to highly qualified coaches

That posters rationalization is exactly what I am talking about

I think it was time to move on from Gregory. That being said I wish him well. Hope he is successful at his next stop. The man is a good guy and had some minor success here. This program is suxh a dumpster fire that he is by far the 2nd best coach we have had since I arrived here in 2003.

I also hope Stan Heath is successful as well. Firing him was premature.

The person most to blame is Judy G, although the USF teams have all been underwhelming under VPMK.

I might have been one of those people that liked Gregory's tweets. Hope he enjoys his vacation.

I would rather win than have a good guy however agree Judy has blame.  Agree Heath was premature, Gregory was overdue. I don’t give two violation what he does after here, only care of what he did while here, which overall was trash.  Just because the team has been a dumpster fire for awhile doesn’t excuse him from collecting 7 digits annually to fail for the past 6 years.

If USF wants to pay me millions, Ill take it. Cant blame the guy for signing the contract and extensions given to him by the administration.

He is good at the "VP" part of his title. The "Athletics" part I don't see much good on his resume here.

To me the extensions were strikes 1 and 2. I am willing to give him this football season before considering axing the financial support. Unfortunately, and this is just for me personally, we are at the point now where winning on the fields and courts of USF is really the only thing that matters. I will always be a fan but the donor part is hardly a given.

What you describe is apathy. I am not there yet, but I know many are, and totally understand why.
