We all have to admit that this, (as far as men's basketball and football is concerned), is very probably THE lowest point we have ever been as a university in sports.
I met Vince Tyra recently, and to be very frank, I am unimpressed. He is a VERY good man, do not get me wrong. But I am not at all convinced he is the right leader to get UL back to the upward path in both Men's basketball and football we, as fans, were so excited about.
I have not heard him yet lay out what he really intends to accomplish with the sports department, where he sees UL going, or how he wants to take it there. Other than very nebulous statements.
I am not saying replace him. So, let's get that out there right now. But I do think the clock is now ticking that he has to come up with a 5-year plan to get UL back in the national discussions; or after 5 years then we can have that discussion.
Given what has transpired UL needs very strong leadership, and while I think he is a very good administrator, I am just skeptical as a leader with a vision and the drive to get there. (An example was Jurich's vision to make UL and Louisville the best college sports city in the nation. That was a bold statement. And again, given where we are, TJ failed.)
