[QUOTE="deedoubleyou, post: 132256843, member: 1621419"] Fundraising is definitely something we need to get a lot better at. That is definitely a big part of things especially with the NIL now. Taking over 2 weeks to hire him, I would guess they offered someone else before him, but its just a guess. Whoever was going to come in, knows they are coming in with a big mess to fix. Established P5 AD's would probably not see that as appealing. Wren is climbing the ladder though, and had reached the point where the next logical move was a jump to a P5 school, based on his previous success. Who knows how he will turn out but I like what I see so far. I've watched 3 of his interviews from North Texas and he is definitely a very smart dude, and he really seems to make it a priority to keep his finger on the pulse of the fan base, so he is not clueless, like Shane obviously was. His big test will be how he handles Brown and the future HC at WVU. Sadly we have to wait for that. But as it is now, welcome to WVU Wren Baker. I'll get on board. [/QUOTE]
