Feels like we’re kinda right back where we were in 2015. But on the down slide.bcoach wrote: ↑Sat Dec 06, 2025 1:20 pmAre you forgetting football coaches?AppGrad78 wrote: ↑Sat Dec 06, 2025 11:59 amI look at where we are today compared to the day Gillin took the job and ask: are we better off? On every metric, I come up with a resounding yes. Sure, there are areas of disappointment (elimination of men’s soccer and failure to complete the North End Zone, to name a couple). But every day I’m grateful we have a capable, dedicated leader atop our athletics department.
Let's pile on Gillin!!!!!

If whining is asking the AD to actually embrace new ideas and try different things to increase revenue generation, then I'm whiney.AppStFan1 wrote: ↑Fri Dec 05, 2025 8:33 pmI actually think he sees some folks online as overly whiney. We have some folks who I would love to see how they react if people watched them work and constantly critiqued on their jobs all the time lolArmantiWaterSafety wrote: ↑Fri Dec 05, 2025 2:30 pmI do wonder if he reads the board. I would absolutely love (not sarcasm) if I had a place where people openly shared their opinions about my workplace. Maybe he just sees us all as overly whiney.
Good is the enemy of best. Gillin has been better than Cobb by a mile, but how many opportunities to grow the have been squandered?
And BTW, many of us actually work for others who do observe our work everyday and critique it. The "others" can be customers, company leaders, principals, parents, etc. who expect our best.
