    Benko Leaves....

    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.

    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.

    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?
