He was never given a chance
Ingram came in with the mandate to run Clark off and keep football dead. In doing so he spent months alienating pretty much every person who was associated with the effort to bring UAB football back. He basically told every UAB fan and booster he talked to that they were dumb and misguided and that only he knew what was best for UAB. Not surprisingly he pissed off a large number of people in doing so.
Anyone suggesting that Ingram is somehow a victim quite frankly doesn't know what they are talking about.
I agree with this assessment, and there's plenty of evidence to back it up.
Having said that, I think he has been making a concerted effort to be more engaging and involved of late. I noticed him last night, with his green blazer on, and all but leading a cheer, and even mentioned to my wife, "Hey look, Mark is finally becoming a Blazer!" I hope that is true.
Unless, of course, Tennessee hires him away.
Fulmer was named AD today for the next 2 years. Someday the books on UAB and UT athletics will be best sellers
