roughrider Posted February 9, 2017 Share Posted February 9, 2017 That's a tough gig to truly succeed at and Gene should get credit for Woj in hoops but he's really past his prime as an AD IMO. The 80's were his heyday and the things are very different now. In the days of 1AA all Gene had to do was focus on 5-6 rich families and his fundraising was done. And he had someone else do that job anyway. Truth is he guided the football program, always a big time winning program at every level, into D1. He was a football man from the start but he's not a program builder/rebuilder. He fought Hawkins on the indoor facility (did not support it) and fought sky boxes, stadium expansion when he had Petersen here. He's an ultra conservative spender and that dominates his planning. Risks have to be taken sometimes and he's not comfortable with that at all. Good man, hard worker. Earned his retirement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dpc8302 Posted February 9, 2017 Share Posted February 9, 2017 Former UH AD Ben Jay is currently in the Bay Area as an AD for DII Academy of Art in San Francisco. Maybe the Spartans can hire him. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do wish we had SJSU's president, guy isn't messing around and that's the kind of leadership needed at unlv. Hopefully Jessup takes a hike and heads back to Arizona soon. The president's name is Mary Papazian. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SJSU has a long athletic history so he should have reached out to boosters and befriended them. Not just one or two. They have a lot of prominent alumni who're still alive. It's typical for CSU presidents to not enthusiastically support athletics so it's up to the AD to raise money to get things done. A rational response. Thank you.

He held Boise back. He made numerous bad coaching hires. He build nothing in 3 times the length of tenure of Smith who was AD before him. He destroyed several programs including Basketball. Bleymaier had one good idea in 30 years. He couldn't raise any money and it was there to be had. He was horrible at hiring coaches. He just wasn't a leader. I was glad when he was fired.

Finally. And good riddance. It also shows that the new prez has considerably larger testes than her predecessor. Figuratively speaking. I like it. Let's hope she can hire someone who moves things forward. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gene can move things forward. He believes in Brennan and in the community. Brennan will lead the football team to new heights. And Go Broncos.

SF-SJSU02 Posted February 10, 2017 Share Posted February 10, 2017 I never loved the hire from the start lots of reputation, little action. He was a safe hire and his results were very hit or miss. New President, new AD, that's often how it goes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
