[QUOTE="LibertyTurns, post: 840167, member: 789"] Yes, we now have navigated to a point where it will be damn near the worst transition in GT’s history, worse than what Ross had and getting close to Curry/Rice’s rebuild. Finances has me most concerned. We had a $5M rainy day fund and were generating $2M per year in revenue. 2019 was a disaster, bailed out because we all ponied up to get us in the black but we completely obliterated the rainy day fund. Many of us kept our tickets in 2020 or donated straight out, we significantly reduced non-football operations plus staff salary cuts probably blunted 2020. I have not seen the numbers. 2021 is going to be atrocious even with the mutt being at home and boosting attendance. It wouldn’t surprise me to be $4-5M in the hole this year based on woeful season ticket sales & overall declining attendance. Add that to a $14 buyout & it’s untenable. We’re stuck like Chuck. Second problem we have besides money is who now wants to take this program over. We’re not a big program that draws coaches that are looking to resurrect their careers & no coach with a bright future wants to dive on this hand grenade waiting to go off. You’re talking likely 4-5 years to rebuild what this dude has now destroyed and get it back to 2018 levels. He took a 1 year turnaround and engineered what is now probably a 4-5 year rebuild. Nobody wants that deal, we’re going to need a risky hire & those odds are not good. The salesman routine crapping on the past is coming back to haunt him. He needs the money those he pissed off are withholding. Those fans that tolerated it and put up with the snarky crap without having any results are now turning their backs on him. His staff needed to have been more focused on football than all the extraneous BS. Hire a couple 20yo kids to handle water ballon and misc dumb activities twits, the coaches should have been 100% focused on football. It’s like he’s running an Animal House program without the alcohol. I was hoping the dumb schtick would pay off like Dabo, but all we got is the schtick. I’d say I feel sorry for Tstan but he made this bed. [/QUOTE]
