• Oliver Luck (NCAA, executive vice president of regulatory affairs)
• Greg Byrne (Arizona AD)

• Chris Del Conte (TCU AD)
• Mark Hollis (Michigan State AD)
• Scott Stricklin (Mississippi State AD)

Tom Jurich would be a homerun. He's the best in the business.

Shows a lot of respect to the recent successes at MSU.

i guess they have no interest in winning cage matches.

 

[ronpolk]

I could be wrong but I just don't see SS leaving. But as far as being an AD goes, that job is about as big as it gets.

This also shows a lot of respect for what TCU has done in the last decade. It is really surprising to see UT even considering a person at another Texas university.

I'm guessing they confused the two MS schools again.

SS's agent learned something from freeze's**

They'd better hire Keenum as president so he can keep doing Stricklin's job for him. **

 

[Shamoan]

damn...texas is making a living off of scalping our talent. Royal, Diaz, and now they wants our ex and current A.D. get off our kooliad bitches.

I'd be surprised if it's not Luck.

He was executive director of the Houston Sports Authority, AD at WV, and I think a UT Law grad. Mainly, his involvement with big-money people in Houston will be tough to beat.

I think Jurich is the front runner. Although, the same people making this hire were dumb enough to hire Patterson in the first place, when it was obvious to everyone else it was a terrible hire, so you never know.

Would be hilarious if it was Djork.

Just talked to somebody who has a good insight to this...

I think Jurich is the front runner. Although, the same people making this hire were dumb enough to hire Patterson in the first place, when it was obvious to everyone else it was a terrible hire, so you never know.

And he doesn't think Jurich will leave Louisville. To ingrained. But his son, Mark might, and he is in line for an AD job. Doubt Byrne would go at this point. Too much AD hopping in too short a time span. He probably needs to stick at Arizona for a touch. Hard to figure the Stricklin thing unless his agent is floating that.

I could see the TCU guy.

I doubt they want an AD bogged down to his wrastlin belt in NCAA ****

Don't give them any ideas.

 

[AFDawg]

Golf clap, sir.

 

[thatsbaseball]

Well ****...there goes our mannequin

 

[BiscuitEater]

And, just for comparison ..

SS's agent learned something from freeze's**

Stephen Patterson .. Athletic Director, University of Texas .. $1,642,000
Scott Stricklin .. Athletic Director, Mississippi State .. $450,000 (#13 of 14 schools in the SEC)

Luck was a finalist the last time around.

Tom Jurich would be a homerun. He's the best in the business.

If Jurich leaves, that would be a "massive" hit for UofL. They could become Maryland Easternshore.
