AD Search
With all the attention on the OC, the AD search kind of went off the radar. It's been 10 weeks now since Cohen left. I would think we have to be close. Any news?

Greg Byrne! Bring him home!
I kid, but since the Kliff Kingsberry thread is now three pages long, I figure another silly one will be too. Lol..
-
Sounds like it'll come down to Benko or Zac Selmon at Oklahoma. I would imagine Wicker still has an outside shot.
I know the search committee's preferred candidate was Danny White at FAU, but I don't think he's in the running anymore.

I was told a few weeks ago to watch out for another person. But Benko seems like the choice if it's not.

Danny White is at Tennessee. His brother Brian White is at FAU. Their other brother Mike is basketball coach at UGA, sister is asst. AD at SMU. Their dad is Kevin White - former Tulane, Arizona, Notre Dame, and Duke AD.
I'd consider Brian White to be a dang good hire. Which means we won't hire him

Amazing pedigree!

Having been unable to secure an AD, in October MSU will eliminate the position and allocate the monies amongst the remaining athletic staff.
State becomes the spark of this new wave as AD positions across the college landscape cease to exist.

My bad on that. Definitely Brian White that was the preferred candidate of the search committee. Agree that White would be a hell of a hire.

Benko is a solid hire if it's him. But if someone is better I'm fine w that. Love to know how you know we are fing it up. Or you just complaining to complain.

Benko is a good hire
My concern is we need to get it done sooner than later. Some people in our department would like some job certainty I'm sure. Maybe could have kept Rhett if we had an AD in place who could promote and give him a raise when the auburn job came.

Do you think it could possibly be Mike Alford or Brian White?

No. Both would be home run hires. I don't know how seriously Alford ever considered us. White was probably a reasonable candidate.

Wait, I thought Whiskey-douche told us Brackey is being promoted full time because of certain boosters.***

Rhett leaving had nothing to do with who the new AD was. He left so he can hopefully get the job when it comes open again. Auburn will be his last stop that he is not in the AD chair. He is very highly thought of in the athletic administration world. John Currie, John Cohen, Scott Stricklin, and Greg Byrne all speak and think very highly of him.

Yeah I'm glad he left. He needs to get as much experience outside of here as possible and I hope we bring him back before it's too late.

Gotcha. Just wondering if it was strictly down to Benko & Selmon or not.

I'll be honest, I have no clue. I just thought Benko would get it before we started. Don't think Alford is getting it.

Selmon comes from a strong bloodline of good players. Got to at least like that
