What would you do about the state of the UTEP athletic department?
Some univ presidents look at athletics as a necessary evil and pay lip service to the department. I sincerely hope she is not of that ilk.
If I were in her shoes right now (I would likely be uncomfortable since I'm a man) I would bring Stull into the office and tell him he has to retire at the end of this school year but he has to announce it now. Then I would tell him that before he leaves he has to remove Floyd from his job at the end of the season and allow the new AD that she will hire prior to April, to hire the next MBB coach. Then I would let it be known that there has to be an accountability among head coaches of the sports that are supposed to be making money for the school. There should be the expectation that post season play should be the norm and mediocrity will not be allowed to continue year after year as it now apparently is. That means that the head FB coach would be put on notice that this coming season must result in a bowl appearance or he is gone.
