    If we're going to hire a G5 AD or someone with baggage, why not hold off and see if we can make a run for the CFP? Seems like having another successful season and heading to the B1G puts us in a good spot to get a better tier of candidates.

    That may align with the timetable. No clue how long these things take but has to be at least a 90 day search and vet without already having someone in the can ready to go.

    Is the San Diego State AD any good? Seems like their football and hoops teams punch well above their weight, and he also got a stadium thing done there.

    He might be good, but he's not very smart.

    He and SDSU's president oversaw that ill-thought "we're leaving/we're not leaving" letter sent to the commissioner and member schools that effectively chained the Aztecs to the MWC for the next 2-3 years

    Perhaps he was playing 8D chess and knew that if he bungled that process UW would 100% leave to the B1G, USC would then hire Cohen, and he could then interview for the UW job.

    Who’s the AD in charge of Arizona? They seem to be handing out bags down there in football, They pulled Lloyd out of Gonzaga in MBB and they are competitive in Softball, baseball and WBB which should appease the UW masses. Worth a look?

    I still have to go with Milo “Mike” Lude.

    P.S. I know he’s dead.

    There is a lot to shake out with B1G scheduling and structures for 2024 and beyond with very little time to do it. Need a competent AD fairly quickly in order to ensure we don't get screwed by our new B1G overlords.

    Still alive. He’s 101, but it’s a young 101.

    Do we have enough time to create an AI copy of Lude and have an eternal algorithm for AD?

    Don James never had to lose an AD to USC. He just didn’t. He was just fired by one.

    FWIW, James never blamed Hedges for what happened.
