2. Selmon - probably a great guy, and talented person. Glad he is with us and cleaning house. But this is more toward Keenum, on hiring as an SEC AD, a person with no AD experience. His other candidates , especially Benko, was running another program.
But here we are, and without a strong AD for a major sport to sort of block out all the influences.
Do you know where Jared Benko is now? Auburn. You know why? Because he sucked as an AD. Selmon is miles better than the other candidates trying to get the job at the time. You are right about one thing though, it is on Keenum. He needs to stop meddling in athletics because he sucks at it. At least Boyce knows what he is doing at OM. He inputs where needed but lets Keith run the show.

Another thing, what has Selmon done to make some of you think he is not a strong AD? You wanted the script State? He gave it to you. You wanted LED lights? He gave it to you? You wanted him to pull the plug on Arnett? He gave it to you. The only thing he did not do was fire Lemonis in 23 after he had been on the job for less than 4 months. He was not going to make his first act as AD to be fire the only coach to ever win a national championship.
