The USF Bulls are starting to feel the pressure after a fourth consecutive loss. It was the school's 10th loss in the last 11 tries in Big East Conference competition.

John Ramil, a USF graduate and the chairman of the school's board of trustees, fired off an angry e-mail to USF president Judy Genshaft's office after the loss on Saturday.

"Disgusting and unacceptable," Ramil's e-mail said. "We have major problems with our football program."

The public criticism of head coach Skip Holtz and the football team prompted a response from USF's athletic director Doug Woolard on Tuesday.

Woolard said that he would "evaluate the status" of the football program after the season.

Ramil agrees that waiting till the end of the season is important before making any decisions. He also seemed to back down from his initial and emotional reaction after the loss to Temple.

"Right now, given everything in balance, while I wasn't happy after the game, I think I should be patient. I think we all should be patient," Ramil said. "I think Doug Woolard's plan to work on things we can during the season and assess at the end is the right thing to do."

Holtz, who is 15-16 in his third season at USF, has taken the critcism in stride and owned up to the struggles of his football team.

If he can right the ship in-time, the Bulls may avoid missing a bowl for the second-consecutive season.
