New AD criteria

Advertisement
Over the last 20 years, football championship winning ADs… 85% were collegiate athletes and 75% were at least collegiate football players.

If there’s one trait you want in your AD, it’s that he played collegiate football. Just sayin

Don't worry LCE, Lemonis is just some hack. Doesn't represent any faction whatsoever on BoT. Randomly types away his thoughts without any purpose whatsoever. 😂🙄

I suspect his E before W faction is at least quietly gloating over the Pitt results and expect more of the same going forward.....

That’s not reflective of context starting with your post in that thread - and you oughta drop it just like the other guy should’ve dropped it.

You jumped to a broad conclusion and the other guy involved was an unnecessary jerk about it all over the place because of a continuing CIS beef. This is just more fuel to the fire which ends up with the Maude’s having to deal with it yet again.

My first question to a prospective AD is "Would you take a contract heavily loaded on the backend with massive incentives based upon winning the ACC in football within 5 years and making a Sweet 16 in hoops in that same timeframe?"

My second question would be "Do you urinate standing up?"

Hey, quick clarification on the second question. Is that under the assumption that I'm not playing a game on my cell phone?
 
A socially intelligent communicator who has an uncompromising vision for championship-level athletics and the ability to sell it to everyone you come across. The admin stuff is way overhyped IMHO, because that's what good assistants are for.

You are correct in calling me on it and I should have made my point more politely.

I'll do better.

Considering how few have won anything in the last 20 years, this is a small sample size. Let's see, mostly Southern schools have won titles, and guess what? Those schools aren't hiring women or non athletes to be AD. Look at a school like USC. Mike Garrett played ball but was a joke of an AD. He lucked out in Carroll, but he didn't do anything. Mal Moore was mediocre as **** as an AD, Alabama just said to **** with it and backed up a Brinks truck to Nick Sabans house. That isn't some brilliant idea.

One can easily note that correlation does not equal causation especially with such a small sample size. Hire someone that knows what they are doing, who gives a **** about whether they played. A competent professional understands that football drives the revenue bus and will do everything possible to support their revenue center. Not complicated.

I would like an Associate AD with ambition from a big-time program. Someone who knows what it looks like but is a realistic option and ascendant.

An Associate AD at a big program probably has credibility and respect. We need someone who a coach like the ones we aspire to hire would have the confidence to work for.

The other guy was unnecessarily impolite and dead horse kicking in the situation and I addressed that with him and you in private and with him on the board. It seems to have settled with him taking some time off from posting. Not personal, just none of us Maude’s wants to deal with another bout of it.

That said, believe me, if this BOT member wants to step up with the check and champion the cause, I’m all for it. We need one who is willing to do that with committed $ behind it.

A competent administrator is competent in… administrating. Not necessarily football. When it comes time to evaluate a coach, or a football program, there needs to be more than just competent administration. There has to be an understanding of the game and it’s nuances.

As long as the administrator understands the game to a level that precludes a coach from bull****ting his way to extensions, I’m ok if he never played.
