    My elation at the news has turned to horrified as people I (previously) consider(ed) intelligent keep name-dropping Petersen to be the replacement. I'm way more pro-Petersen than most here as a coach, and I still think he's one of the worst choices to be an AD in the current age. Philosophically he's about as anti-NIL as you can get, and experientially he has never even been an AD before. Get the fuck out of here with that.

    This is a major inflection point for the AD. With Cohen's departure, our connection to the Decade of Shame is now fully severed. We can dramatically upgrade (or downgrade) the AD culture with this hire. Let KDB pick the next one, or at a minimum let him heavily vet and sign-off on candidates before putting offers in front of them.

    This.

    Have you heard anything he's said since he quit? He's not as old fashioned as you think. Sounds like you're basing this on his stuffy responses to questions as coach

    I got the same vibe as you are saying here. Seems that he is most put off by recruiting current players that are not in the portal which is reasonable and has accepted the other portions of NIL.

    All things considered though, he originally thought kids should get NIL money for grad school or study abroad etc. I don't know if he has or could come full circle.

    Yeah I'm not so sure. Maybe Petersen is more of a pragmatist and more willing to adapt than people assume. Some of the comments I heard from him after the B1G news broke made it seem possible.

    Then again, hiring from within some kind of circle of cronies that already has a connection rarely works. Petersen already welched once, in a sense, by admitting he hadn't been into his job and then just quitting.

    He could end up better at this than people assume, or not. They really need to do better.

    You must not have heard him talking about NIL sucking when he was interviewed about the move to the B1G. The guy is a dinosaur at this point.

    If someone can pull up a list of former coaches turned AD's, that would be interesting to see.

    I don't remember specifics at all, but I know something he said must've gave me the feeling that, while he hates it, he recognizes that it is the reality and everyone who wants to compete has to play along.

    Even if it were true, and that's what he was saying, it doesn't make him a good hire or even an acceptable one. Get someone who is all over NIL. I want someone with no qualms about paying teen boys big money. No dinosaurs even if they do pay lip service to changing their philosophy.

    This is rich considering the fact that every time it's been brought up that Jen could leave, that little twat has said the exact opposite
