I still stand by my statement that ground would have already been broken on the south endzone deal by now if Dooley was still around... DD talked about it too much on his FB weekly press conferences last year. DD would really push Dan and was making the right decisions as AD - I would hire him back right now in that role but am more exicited about SD as the football coach!
Bruce is the main man now and things seem to be moving very slowly - pics to the general public would be a good start Bruce!
I hope you are right.
This was all Dooley and if you don't believe that then your crazy. Before Dooley, we had a lazy administration with no will to push forward and no belief in this University. Dooley came in here and slapped them all in the face. After he woke them up, he administered his plan......and yes this was all his idea and his plan. DD is the main reason we have LTAC and got our alumni back to their roots. He is the sole reason of why we are where we are and I had a great opportunity seeing this first hand. Now our newly formed athletic adminstration is going to gain the momentum we need to get our university where it should have been 10 years ago!
Great way to get our name out there. I noticed TNS wasn't impressed enough to put it on page one.
Dooley doesn't give a crap about us now. Where is the $25K he promised to donate for this year? Should we put up a statue of Dooley somewhere?
All of that is true, and we definantly needed someone to come here and really slap around the admin. I think that we could have brought just about ANYONE from outside Ruston and they would have been able to see what needed to be done, but Dooley was that character so he get's the credit. He wasn't a visionary, he just knew what we COULD have and punched people in the face until he got what he wanted.
Only thing is that LTAC wasn't "created" by him. It was CHAMPS, but the NCAA wanted that name for some program that they use and asked us to change the name of our CHAMPS program, and the NAME was changed to LTAC. Same program.
He had more money than God and gave most of it away.... so maybe it was Willie
I agree totally Doc - just worried that our new AD may not have the guts of a DD...

I think some aren't giving Uncle Dan 2.0 enough credit...
