    MSU Athletic Director

    Has he done anything since he's been here? What is the consensus on him? It seems we hired him and then I haven't heard a peep about since. His ass better be prepared to step up.

    I agree. He has been missing in action. No radio interviews that I know of. No speeches extolling his vision of our atheletics. No reaching out to the Alumni or fan base that I know of. I hope we didn?t hire a complete flop. He better step forward or he?s going to lose a large segment of the fan base with what is going on presently in baseball.

    Think Zac has top notch listening skills; when he's ready he'll have something to say. The mark of a strong leader.

    Did it dawn on anyone that he just might be un17ing a mess? More to do than stand at the front door and grin and greet.

    I heard him do a pretty long radio interview a few weeks ago. Really good.

    Met him at a baseball game a few weeks back. I saw him in Palmeiro?s box and introduced myself. Immediately asked me to call him Zac. He asked where I was from, saw my wife and boys and introduced himself to them and talked to the boys. Introduced me to his wife and daughter sitting out with him. We talked for a good 5-10 minutes and he acted like he had known me for years. Very sharp and VERY happy to be at MSU. We got a good one, I?m not concerned with his lack of tv or radio time. He has lots on his plate and I want him handling all that. He now has a baseball issue to deal with too.

    You aren't going to see or know everything a good AD is doing but they are always busy behind the scenes. I've heard at least one interview; it was good. I think we got a good one, guess we'll see soon.

    I've had two VPs take over my department in the last 3 years. The first had all the answers on day one and began changing things immediately. He was gone in less than 2 years. The second told us on day one that he wasn't going to make any changes for at least 90 days. He is currently on his sixth months and making significant improvements.
    Sometimes you have to learn a little about where you are before you can fully lead.

    That's good to know. I haven't heard a peep. That's why I asked. I hope he's as good or better than Byrne.

    Looks like Keenum did his homework on this one.

    Listening and Speaking are nice qualities for a Fundraiser and a Motivational Speaker.

    Can the dude swing a heavy AXE? Because there are some trees that are going to need to be cleared to rebuild our Favorite NICHE program.
