So if Mannausau is the best candidate, we shouldn't promote him to AD anyway because we already spent money on a committee and a search firm? Now, I don't believe Mannausau to be the best candidate at this point, but I've got to disagree with your reasoning and absolute statements regarding internal hires/promotions. Quote

If he is the best candidate that really doesn't say much for the candidates who applied. UND is small time and should just move down to DII if they hire someone with absolutely no experience whatsoever! And the fact that you are arguing this makes me believe that people like you are the reason why UND DI transition has gone so poorly. We need someone with new visions....not just visions of what they know from their time at UND. 1 1 Quote

Who exactly did you expect to apply? Two senior associate/deputy AD's from schools that are higher up in the athletic hierarchy than UND, a sitting AD at a peer school plus the top internal candidate. Seems like a pretty logical group of finalists to me. 8 Quote

I'm not arguing in favor of Mannausau, I'm arguing against your ridiculous assertion that all internal hires/promotions would be bad. Quote

This isn't a posting opened up due to a head coach leaving and his assistant trying to fill his shoes. Otherwise I would agree with you. Quote

I dont know because I'm not there in the forums and havent seen them in person or heard their visions. I also don't know what Kennedy wants in an Athletic Director. Two huge variables. If you are in GF, maybe go to Mannausau's public forum today and listen to his vision and plan. THEN come back and tell us he's crap. 1 6 Quote

Again, someone in a paid or appointed position should have had the brains and gonadal fortitude to review and select who was getting an interview. Now there are too many layers to the onion. Only twice did I select a newbie over the experienced internal candidate. One time was a disaster, disaster and the person lasted a year. The second time was worse. Lots of potential legal issues but they were passed to the next community!!! Go with what you know! Quote

The Sicatoka Posted January 8, 2018 Posted January 8, 2018 For those of you unsure of the hierarchy of the NCAA, please note that "G5" senior associates or deputy administrators (#2s and #3s in their departments) are applying for an FCS AD job. I could be completely wrong, but I don't see any deputies or associates from "P5" schools having made our finalists list. As someone noted, we have a couple associate/deputy types from "G5" schools, but none from P5 schools. (Where's Morton from MSU? Purpur from Stanford?) That tells me there is a pecking order; or, put another way: - 'tis better to be #2 or #3 (or worse?) at a P5 than to be the AD at an FCS, or, - being AD at FCS is better than being #2 or #3 at a G5. "P5" -- ACC, Big Ten, SEC, Big XII, PAC 12 "G5" -- MAC, C-USA, Mountain West, SBC, WAC Quote
