Is assistant AD at MSU not a better job than AD at Georgia Southern?

Hopefully, we do a nation wide search & don't just promote from within.

Nothing like getting experience as the head man, regardless of if it involves leaving MSU for Ga Southern.

Yep. It is a no-brainer if big time collegiate administration is your ultimate goal. Gotta be the lead guy somewhere.

Most of the time you leave an assistant to be the head knocker

If your desire and goal is to be an AD then why not take that opportunity. Same as Tony Hughes when he wanted to be a HC and accepted that position as JSU.

Did Benko come to us from Auburn?

He did. I think he is a Georgia grad though, so we were never his alma mater or anything. Great guy and someone who played a big role in the decision making process of things. I believe he was often one of the interviewers when we had to make coaching hires.

IMO our administration should not be made up of graduates. Get the best of the best and sprinkle in the grads.

Don't we already have a replacement ( Dave Emerick Senior Associate A.D./Football ).

This is MSU's biggest weakness in athletics right now.

Ga Southern is a good school. Not sure why people from other states think otherwise. It's pretty well respected in Georgia. So is Kennesaw.

Benko was rumored to be really tight on athletic expenditures to the chagrin of several coaches

Couldn't Cohen say- hey, Jared, we can spend some money on this that and the other and not break the bank?

Cohen is the person supposedly that set the penny pinching agenda, if you believe some people

It's pretty much universally considered a party school. It's not a bad school, but I wouldn't say its reputation is all that great.

KSU has some respect but is still seen by many as a commuter school.

Beat me to it. I was going to say - "Southern has a reputation - for cocaine and parties".

And that is the world we live in now. The expectation that loyalty to something we like should trump what is obviously true.
