Hire an actual AD. With experience. There is absolutely no need to bring in someone that has never run an athletic program. I don't care about NFL experience. I don't care about your connections to Miami. I don't care about your experience as a football coach.

Please just bring some boring ******* that 99% of football fans have never heard of. Force us to look up the guys name, read his resume, and think daaaaaaamn this dude knows what he's doing.

Somebody like Rick Hart (SMU AD), Doug Gillin (App State AD), and/or Mack Rhoades (Baylor AD). Qualified. Component. Boring. Solid.

You know most ADs are talentless schmoozers, right?

There’s not too many super talented people who start their career saying I want to work as an assistant in a college AD… and then stick around long enough to work their way up.

NFL management is actually a far superior training ground than working in a college athletic department.

Very, very few athletic departments are run like Bama.

I get the feeling you think Alonzo Highsmith was an NFL GM. He was not. He is basically a scout.

Want him to come in as Chief of Staff reporting to the HC supporting scouting local talent? Sure, sounds good.

Want him to run an entire athletic department? Na. I'm good.

He wasn’t a GM but he also isn’t just a scout.

He is literally a NFL executive. And was at Cleveland too.
