Littlepage: I say one of the best parts of my job is I get a lot of free advice. I’d say there is a wide variance. There are those that understand what we’re going through. ‘We understand what these coaches are trying to do, these young people are good representatives and citizens.’ There’s a large group that’s kind of in the middle, that’s wait-and-see. ‘We’re hopeful. We trust that everybody knows what has to be done to get the ship on track.’ And then there’s a group that’s very vocal that is fed up, frustrated, etc., and I understand all three categories, and I hear from all three. That’s not all that unusual. …
Good things that come through in situations like this and the fact that people are expressing, even if they’re expressing displeasure, they care. And that’s a lot better than people that are just silent and walk away.
You know what I think unfortunately, is that he has lost MANY "caring" fans.
