That hasn't worked too well in the past. Budget shortfalls have resulted in dropped programs and layoffs in the past.sarktastic said:Contingency fund? Already have one. Full faith and credit of the University of Washington and by extension, Washington State taxpayer.

Just ask WSU.sarktastic said:Contingency fund? Already have one. Full faith and credit of the University of Washington and by extension, Washington State taxpayer.
I'm concerned why Byrne would go from Miss St to Arizona though. -
What @Tequilla is talking about is that there was an accounting error in the Athletic Department that resulted in a budget shortfall as revenue did not meet their expectations. Apparently it wasn't a small shortfall either.
From what I've gathered it shouldn't be a long term issue, but someone fucked up and it hurt them this year and they had to cut back in some areas.
Yes, this is what I am hearing, don't twist. -
Why? Mississippi State is broke as fuck. Probably the smallest budget in the SEC. Not going to look it up but definitely bottom three.TommySQC said:

Arizona is a much bigger job. -

I would expect the $$$ for this are one of the first things allocated and accounted for each yearRaceBannon said:

I really haven't followed him that closely, but he does seem to get it. I don't think he hired Miller, but he did hire RichRod. Like I've said, RR ok for a basketball school. He's clearly capable of winning the South and possibly making a Rose Bowl which would be a first.FremontTroll said:
Byrne would be an A+ hire.Fire_Marshall_Bill said:

Can you name 5 athletic directors without looking them up? Not including the ones we know of because they are awful (praise be pat Haden).CokeGreaterThanPepsi said:This could be amazing if true, but I am very nervous about who we hire.
As Chest said, the guy I would target is Greg Byrne. If we could go from Woodward to Byrne it would be terrific.
This is the single biggest hire we(?) are going to make since we hired Tawd.... Fuck.....
Like, why Greg Byrne? ASU hasn't exactly been a juggernaut.
He's a decent a.d. Now four people will probably jump in and give two reasons why he's awful and needs to die.
-Nailed his football hires at UA and Mississippi State. (say what you want about Rich Rod that was a home run for UA.)
-Handled Miller when he flirted with other jobs. (Didn't kowtow but got the extension done.)
-Conducted coaching searches with professionalism and focus (no leaks and no dithering. UA fans call him the ninja.)
-Drastically increased the assistant coach salary pool for Rich Rod. (Casteel's salary was top 10 or 15 in the nation for a DC.)
-Likely put pressure on RichRod to make changes on defense. (I don't think Rich Rod would fire his buddy of his own volition.)
-Pushed strongly for facilities upgrades for football.
-Proficient with both social media and traditional media.
-Young and experience in SEC country (gets it. Football first.)
-From the NW so Seattle might be appealing. Born in Pocatello and worked at Oregon for awhile.
He does a lot of radio interviews with the local guys and he seems smart, savvy, and on top of things. He's also upgraded football facilities and as far as I know the Olympic sports are doing fine. -
Does anyone know if Pac 12 Network revenue is supppsed to increase much? I'm not near a computer right now and f looking it up on a phone. That would help.
We're still way behind the Big 12 and SEC in that area. -
I can't imagine the PAC Network will see an uptick as long as they have no deal w DirecTV

I don't believe that's what I said. I said he wouldn't last. 6.9 seconds if you are literal motherfucker, so let me know when the clock starts ticking.digits said:
Weren't you the one saying those Tejas BIG BOYS would never hire Woodward?PurpleThrobber said:6.9 seconds start now.
The Aggie money guys don't fuck around. Woody better have a golden parachute.
They will fuck him raw. And smile about it.
Texas Forevah!

Y'all are insane if you think a big time Texas school is going to hire Woody. Those good ol' boys are serious as a heart attack about winning. There are dozens of Buddy Gerety's at aTm and UT.
They write big checks and want someone to wants to win more than breathing.
Woody would get spit out in 6.9 seconds.
