Is Shawn Eichhorst

[ball915]

the worst Athletic Director at a Power 5 school?

1. extends Al Golden
2. Fires Pelini who got them 9 wins every year and hires Mike Riley who goes 5-7 and their first losing season in a long time
3. emails the team he fired Pelini and a guy that nobody saw in Coral Gables

Yes he hired Coach L but what else has he done?

He doesn't get any credit for coach L. Laranaga contacted Miami first all he did was work out the details. Eichorst is an epic fail of an AD.

Coach L probably saves him from that title. Has to be an AD out there that hasn't made one good hire

Of course he gets the credit. He hired him. I don't care how it went about that Coach L interviewed for the job.

This one I still don't understand. I don't care if the guy is a an ******* to the top boosters, you suck it up and let the guy stay.

Fred Glass at Indiana. He cant even get the women's hires right...IU could be looking for and paying buyouts to Tom Crean and Kevin Wilson. Wilson is in his 5th year of a 7 year deal, and if he loses to purdue he will get canned. Crean has a Golden like contract and might not get through the year.

I actually get why they fired him. Riley will eventually go 9-4 every year, too ... With a 10-4 year on occasion. And he'll be much easier for the boosters to deal with.

IMO, Pelini doesn't win enough to be as abrasive as he is.

Haden is definitely the most overrated/fraudulent AD out there. Not sure why anyone would respect his work. Because he was a Rhodes Scholar 60 years ago?

Thank you for not being as politically correct as the national media with this guy.

It's insane. He's done nothing but make horrible hires and even occasionally embarrass the school himself. The basketball hire alone is grounds for dismissal. I seriously think he earned some national media pass by his personal academic achievements and his connection to the Notre Dame broadcast.

He's the Matt Millen of pathetic directors.
