The Univeristy of Miami now has a vacancy as far as their head athletic director is concerned. Now that that has happend, UCF athletic director Keith Tribble is now in the running to fill the vacant position.
As a student-athlete, I have seen first-hand, the affect that "Papa Trib" has on student-athletes. He often likes for us to see him as a father figure. If he does decide to leave, I will be very sad to see him go.
That however, is not the reason for my post. My question is, why can't we ever keep the good ones. After a successful season on the gridiron, numerous football coaches have now gone on to take the same positions at bigger schools. How can we ever reach our potential if coaches and administrators, only see working at UCF as a launching bad to getting to a better school atheltically, with more tradition? The simple answer is, we can't? Without stability in the athletic department, we will never reach our potential.
We are a school that lacks tradition. If we continue to have seat filler after seat filler, we will never be mentioned with the likes of Florida and Florida State.
