The Gary Barta era is officially over. Monday afternoon Beth Goetz asserted her control over the Athletic Department in a way that I don’t think any of us expected her to do, especially while the Interim tag was still featured in her email signature. If she doesn’t end up being the permanent AD (and we should all hope that she is), there will be no shortage of job offers waiting for her, in addition to adding “Took on a Legendary Head Football Coach and won” to her resume.
There was no happy ending to this story for anyone involved.
