Top 3 characteristics of new AD?
- Thread starter GBryne4Heisman
- Start date
his name is Scott Stricklin. Byrne was doing about everything right. Stricklin was a part of that. Stricklin is Byrne's choice for his successor. Stricklin is a Bulldog (meaning he is unlikely to bolt after 2 years of success). Stricklin has been trained in the right way to do it.<div>And he is a progressive, innovative young guy like Byrne. I think that's what we need.</div><div>

Or would the best available AD trump such connections?
I think Byrne was a helluva AD. He did more in less time than most. I know he got his Masters at MSU, but I wouldn't consider him a "State" guy. Would you take another Byrne, or go with someone with a stronger MSU pedigree in hopes he would last longer?

I know on the academic of a university schools dont like to hire their own PhD students, because its considered "academic inbreeding". I kind of have the same feelings towards our athletic department. I think a big part of Byrne's success was brining in fresh ideas - forigntcreb said:
I think that if someone has ties to the University, it's a bonus, but it's not a prerequisite. The bonus is that they already now how the fans are and what the situaiton is with a lot of the athletic programs coming in. It's a little bit of an advantage, but it's not a deal breaker or maker.
I just want the best possible AD that we can get.

It would help the guys who had the Byrne's Dojo. They could just mark out Byrne's name and insert Strickland.</p>
we will here the two from the Sun Belt , Angelos at Florida International and Villareal at North Texas. We will here Scott Strickland from within. I think Rob Mullens is another name Veazey threw out who is an associate AD at Kentucky. </p>
