The Next AD - A Discussion Thread

[Shock Top]

Interesting it was someone not on the shortlist.

I don’t know if any of the other posters brought him up in discussions or not.

They have done a good job of hiring and supporting basketball coaches at Murray. Now he can do it on a much bigger scale at WSU.

Also, good experience dealing with booster at the most basketball crazed school in the nation; UK.

I know some will like his experience helping build UK’s soccer and baseball programs as well.

Young, Up-and-coming, and already experience as an AD.

Pretty solid hire on the surface.

Seems a like good hire from a resume perspective. Time will tell.

Did we ever get confirmation that Taylor’s list was the shortlist? I thought it was more of a watch list.

Regardless, gut reaction is very positive.

I think even Taylor said they were just names he worked with and the search firm was being really tight lipped.

Right.

I don’t believe it was official, just making an observation.

Absolute home run hire

Biggest flaw I see in him is he got his Masters at KU

And now for an LOL tweet while searching about this

I really, really like this hire. Kentucky has a lot of respect from me as a whole, and working in that program certainly got him very valuable experience.

I have a good vibe about this hire. If he can rub elbows with the Wichita elite, we’ll be in like Flynn.

Murray State has a gun problem.



They have men and womens rifle teams.
