Fire him TOMORROW!

Most of them think we are all mentally ill fools.
then they may not be familiar with message boards… our board is incredibly tame (sans a few morons - who would be considered normal on most other boards). Take a look at an SEC board or even the board of the team who beat us last night: MUCH more intense:

But I get your point. There’s more to operating an athletic department, let alone a university, than what most of us consider when we’re unhappy about the results we’re seeing on the field/court. It doesn’t make it any less frustrating, but it’s good to keep in mind.

We all want to see success sustained. Maybe one day we’ll figure it out.

You need success before sustaining it!

Anyway, any rational person can expect and live with a bad season every now and then.

I agree about being respectful in every communication. My point about reaching out to Justin and Carson is based on a recent interaction, I heard the comment, we haven’t heard from that many fans with a concern about the football program. In the absence of hearing our/your disappointment with performance, officials will make up their own conclusions.

Evidently they don’t pay close attention to their fan base anymore. Just the ones who think things are going swimmingly because they treat them nice during their interactions and tell them how appreciative they are of the GPA improvements.

Probably has something to do with the mediocre attendance as well.

I believe they do pay attention to fans, but a respectful email adds more value than anonymous posts on a message board. Some posts on message boards and X are not from our fans but those that enjoy stirring a pot.
 
I have said things out loud. Respectfully I think and cognizant of my role being a fan and not a collegiate athletics expert.

But fan is short for fanatic right? If a fan does not care who else will?

Fortune favors the brave.

I think the Tulsa fan base though small, is that probably more well equipped to advise on a path to success than many other fanbases. A healthy portion of folks on an OU or OSU message board never went to the University. Of those that did, fewer still were intimately involved with the athletics program.

On this board I would be willing to bet that a healthy proportion of us were inside or closely around the athletics department. Another healthy portion are donors or fans who have been around since Jesus was a pup and could probably teach classes on what worked and what didn’t work historically.

Of course we frequently disagree on perspective, but when we do occasionally reach relative consensus I think that should carry a bit of weight.
