Terri Patraw: Beautiful Words from a Former Colleague
...You demonstrated a don't quit attitude and it showed. You inherited a beat up program, but everyone knew at the time you were a winner and you proved that to everyone from 2004 - on. Over the years I wasn't surprised at your success, but intrigued by how quickly you turned that program around.
I was privy to the "good old" boy network in the athletic department and was completely aware that some of the hiring's and firings at the University were politically driven. In only 12 months of working at UNR I knew I wasn't the right fit or I couldn't work for a school that was unethical.
I want you to know that I stand completely behind you and will always support you. Good luck and I hope you crush UNR. That place needs a major clean up!!!
I just wanted you to know that sometimes you have friends that you don't know you have. All the best and I will keep my eyes open and won't be surprised when you get the respect you deserve in swift victory.
