Agreed.
Foglesong will be known for three things
1. Firing LT
2. A campus that looks like a (nice) military base aesthetically
3. Destroying some flowers

A lot of state fave didn’t like Foglesong but he started something that led to a vast improvement of our school and campus.
Alumni didn’t like that he changed the old ways but our athletics sucked, our campus looked awful, etc.
He started grounds work that has continued and today the campus looks 50x better. Firing LT and hiring Byrne led to a rise in all of our athletic teams. Since that time we have improved all of our facilities. Our football team has been to a bowl every year since 2010, including the fantastic 2014 season ranked #1 for 5 weeks. Basketball has been meh but is improving, we need to focus more resources on facilities there.
Baseball is phenomenal with the best ballpark in the country, numerous CWS appearances, a runner up, and a CWS title
Women’s basketball were runners up twice in the NCAA tourney.
We have had some great men’s tennis teams
The improvements made since Foglesong started his changed have been vast and I think he deserves some credit even though nobody at the time could see it
