Former USF athletic director Doug Woolard has died at the age of 76\. 

Woolard was hired as the Bulls AD in 2004, replacing Lee Roy Selmon after his semi-retirement. He came to Tampa after 10 years at Saint Louis University, with most of his previous administrative work coming at Washington State. 

The Southern Illinois graduate oversaw a period of growth for the Bulls, from Conference USA to the Big East and then to the American Athletic Conference. He separated from the university in July of 2014, but still resided in Tampa until his passing. 

More to come on Woolard and his legacy at USF later.
