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. -
Disagree on Rich Rod. That was hiring Ty after he failed at Notre Dame. And now RR is flailing at Arizona.
That being said, hiring a football coach is a crap shoot. If this guy is a big football booster type then you give hi a look -
All us HH peeps should lock our selves in the UW library until we get the AD we want

Coach has some minor success at a lower major school, gets hired by a big time program and shits the bed and gets fired.
Gets hired by another school right after being fired. No real half brain would have gone for that. Oh, and he sucks. Not 0-12 suck but he sucks -
Were you aware of this when you wanted Don James fired?RaceBannon said:Disagree on Rich Rod. That was hiring Ty after he failed at Notre Dame. And now RR is flailing at Arizona.
