Foley deserves a lot of praise for the athletic program, but let's please try and keep this in perspective. We already had an outstanding athletic program long before he arrived. He helped raise it and added to the facilities, as well he should have done. It's what he was hired to do. The combination of a gorgeous campus, year round warm weather, lots of money and loads of athletes makes this ripe ground for all-around greatness no matter the athletic director. Anyone who doubts me simply needs to go back to around 1981 and look at what we did in baseball, swimming, tennis, golf and whatever else. We were kicking ass back then, too.
Re his reputation for managing the football program, it'll improve markedly if McElwain turns out to be the kind of hire he looks to be.
