But nothing our current AD or upper campus has done even compares to some of the shit shows we've seen throughout college football in the last few weeks.
Look at LSU. Some shit-for-brains in their athletic department let's it leak out that they are going to fire Les Miles, and all week they just sit on the rumor. Meanwhile fans rally behind Miles, and after a win over Black Sark, Joe Alleva grits his teeth and announces that Miles will remain the coach. Judging by his face, you would have thought Alleva was announcing he had terminal ass cancer.
Then there's Cal. It's no secret that Sonny Dykes was shopping himself around trying to find another gig before he's exposed next year as the shitty Leach knock-off he is, when he no longer has Jared Goff at his disposal. Mizzou is smart enough to pass on him, and he comes crawling back to Cal with his visor in hand. So what does Cal do? Well they extend him of course. Just in time for them to go 2-10 next year and realize just how truly fucked they are with an expensive coach they can't fire. Way to cement yourself in the Pac-12 basement, Cal AD. This new guy is making Sandy Barbour look like Mike Lude.
Finally, we have Texas. What a brothel fire that program has become. First, TCU's Sonny Cumbie turns down the open OC spot because he can't get any assurances from the AD that Strong will still be there past 2016. Then, Tulsa's co-OC turns down the job because the administration offered him a three year deal, when Charlie Strong only offered two years. Are you fucking kidding me? You can't coordinate with your head coach on how many years you're offering a prospective hire? Getting a guy from Tulsa to come to Texas for an upgraded title should be a slam dunk. Yet somehow the new guy in charge is making Longhorn fans yearn for the days of Steve Patterson (which was what, 90 days ago?).
As for Pat Haden, I don't think we need to rehash what a disaster his tenure has become.
So I suppose it's unfortunate that all of this administrative ineptitude has severely lowered the bar for our own Scott Woodward. These days, as long as a picture of his cock and balls doesn't end up on the phone of some 18 year old coed, his job is as safe as it could be.

Asking for a fren..
Looser post.
LSU's situation was a disaster, but the reason they wanted to fire Miles is because they want to win.. Badly. 11-2 and 10-3 seasons don't cut it in Baton Rouge. At UW, a coach could get 8-5 and would probably never get fired.
Cal doesn't count. They have one of the worst programs of any P-5 team.
Texas is a weird program that can't get out of it's way. Strong isn't the guy and they should just end it so Strong can go coach somewhere else.
He's knows he's on the socially liberal West Coast and Seattle fags will eat up the volleyball, softball, and parapalegic transgender rock climbing team (not sure how that works) doing well and the money sports just need to be semi competitive.
I don't really care about other school AD's incompetence. Our AD needs to demand winning more.
I believe the athletic department is in the black and is doing OK on that end, but I haven't followed that closely lately.
He gets credit for Petersen. The jury is definitely still out, but most here have at least cautious optimism about the future, even if they won't admit it. At the worst, it was a good hire at the time.
Like I implied in the post, he's about an average AD.
