    Random Poster's AD replacement

    Kyle Whittingham

    hahaaaaaaaaaa- just kidding

    Scott Wetherbee is the guy. Already part of the department but he is somewhat of an outsider. Has done a great job on the marketing side of things. We have promoted from within the last couple of hires- but the guys we have promoted havent been State "good ol boy network" guys. They have worked other places and brought new ideas and energy.

    Marketing plays a role in competent game day operation/success. If we were alabama uscw or Ohio state marketing wouldn't be quite as big of a deal. At state it is a big deal.

    Marketing is MUCH more important than that. And before you start the game day operation IS part of marketing.

    we shouldn't pay $500k+ for someone who can't do both. someone make this guy a Venn diagram: marketing is part of game day operations, but it takes much more.

    I think we have an assistant AD, maybe more than one, who does that. Same for marketing.

    Agree with **** no on Cohen, only the uniformed would even suggest that, I hope that much thought is put into this because at this point this is a critical hire. Can't afford to dick this up.

    Athletics these days is big business; I'm not entirely sure why people want to just hire an old head coach like it's the 70s or 80s. I know South Carolina did it with Ray Tanner, but is that really a thing schools still do?

    agreed. Need a guy that has some sports and business background. Wetherbee is well respected around campus and with some big boys.

    Why? Byrne and Stricklin did a pretty good job.

    We dont need a longtime State good ol boy. But we do have some guys in house that wouldnt be bad choices. But no doubt- no 20 year in Starkville State guys

    Will Wetherbee tell Mullen to decide whether or not he wants to be here and stop making winning harder than it needs to be? I want whichever guy will do that.

    That's my thought
