It's usually Asst AD's, in house promotions, (Templeton, Cohen,etc) Coordinators for HC etc. Then we expect different successful results.
I mean Byrne and Stricklin were both Asst. ADs. Selmon is going to be good. But y'all are going to have to give him more than 22 months, especially in this new environment and how bad our athletic dept was being run under Cohen. He has had to take the athletic dept down to the studs. I don't think some of y'all get how bad it was. We had people in 6 figure salary jobs that didn't know how to do the job were being paid for. Selmon almost quit within a week because of how bad it was. He never wanted Arnett and made that known. He thought Arnett was a bad football coach. He said he had no clue how to run a program, and he was right. And had the boosters gotten their pick of who they wanted our AD would've been Jared Benko who just left Ga Southern, AS THE AD, to go be with Cohen and be an asst AD.
