The Sicatoka

A 67 year old guy gives every indication he's going to stay on as long as possible by getting an extension just days before Kelley leaves office. (Remember that?) Or was he. To my eyes this was Kelley helping Faison out. Faison had leverage (the extension from Kelley). Faison got what he (remember, 67) probably really wanted: golden parachute. Kelley probably knew Faison's time had come and gone but Kelley didn't have time to form a committee to recommend that a committee draft a proposal to another committee to evaluate the AD. So, Kelley did what Kelley always did: nothing, but pass the buck.

Mentioning hockey schools, Penn State has openings. Penn State. Hockey. ... Wow. Whodathunkit.

The AAD of which you refer is AD at K-State now, isn't he? Michigan and Michigan State have openings, but not Wisconsin (thinking "hockey schools").

Q: What's the difference between a brown noser and a < bleep > head? A: Depth perception.

Someone mentioned former UND Sr Assoc AD Sean Johnson's name (currently AD at U Jamestown).

Why don't you complete the "facepalm" trifecta and throw out Bob Entzion's name.

I forgot he landed there.

Faison's track record shows he's a good administrator. If he has a weakness it's that he's not great at kissing hands and shaking babies; he's not the gladhander the %gobc and others 'need'. However, in today's world, being a schmoozer is a key job function of the AD.

Crazy question that just struck me: What are the qualifications to be AD at an NCAA Division I school? Is there some sort of "license" or "training program" or "schooling" one must have completed to hold the position per the NCAA? Other requirements?

Lennon's barely been in place at UMary as AD. I'm not sure it's him ... yet. Ray Purpur is a fantasy. It's nearly impossible to get him off The Farm (Stanford). For that matter, getting any AAD from a P5 would be a challenge unless they have local ties. Rob Bollinger? I'd think the %gobc would be backing him. Josh Morton's an interesting name. Would he come back? (Side note: His dad is now chair of the ND SBoHE ... somehow ... yeesh ... )

Zebras have lost control of game.

Someone check the skates of Hoff. Keeps losing edges.

Z is good to go; K has to sit the year.

Not paying attention with 4000 pounds hurtling down the street at 40 mph?

I say texting and driving is no different than brandishing a firearm in a room full of people.
