The two requisites, as I see it, for us to make progress in attendance, revenue, and community support is an AD who is both ebullient and creative. We currently have an AD who is diametrically neither. In my memory the only leader we have ever had who possessed those qualities was Hayden Fry.
It's a real problem that needs real solutions. All we can do as alum to fix this awful attendance issue is just bitch and moan. But it's a serious problem that I feel didn't have to happen and could be resolved.
Um, who's "you"?
Do you mean UNT beat UH in basketball? Or, finding this guy in the parking lot of a tourney game?
If the former, let's not get carried away.
If the latter, God Speed.
I feel this needed it's own thread instead of intermixed on the FAU game thread and other threads...

I agree it all starts at the top for Athletics...as in AD and President of the University.
I am on my 9th AD and 10th President by my count.
Money is the u$ual determining and motivating factor for getting more out of our AD department.
More students/fans > more tickets/donations/revenue > more facilities/staff > creates more interest > creates more fans
.............................
Beyond other factors, I judge an AD's success by communication, and attendance in football and men's basketball. This is weighted by era, conference, and facilities.
I would give Wren a C and Jared a D to date.
The AD must do a much better job of spurring the students, alums, and locals. Find out why they don't come and fix it!!
When they do come, the entertainment and production is not keeping them engaged. It all needs fixed!
