Pretty much don't know what it takes to be a good AD.

He's basically like the equivalent of Scott Pioli in the assistant athetlic directors world.

Homerun hire.

It appears to be a pretty strong hire on the surface.

Pretty much the right hand guy at Tenn, major fund raiser, helped run an $88 million dollar athletic department.

Basically just the opposite of Tim Weiser in every respect.

Grand slam.

    Knows What Brent Did...
Very undersized and Darren Sproles-like, IMO. Looks like he has good hips on film (<--verified by former HS football assistant coach)

QFT.

The true measure of any good AD is the same as any D-1 football player, high school track statistical analysis and thorough examination of his anatomy.

The early returns are looking good.

He came from the SEC.  You have to cheat.

Half of this site wanted Kiffin.  Would not have been a bad hire.  Might have been a bad hire at Tenn.  We'll see.

He taught a leadership studies class at Tennessee, except on money laundering.

If that answers the question.

But basketball has a place there more recently.  It's not like the Mississippi schools or Auburn.

"You've got to play some 'guarantee' games," said Currie, referring to the practice of guaranteeing a lesser team a payday in exchange for a home game that likely will result in a victory. "But when you play games against teams with RPIs in the 300s or the 270s or 280s, they don't help your team get better because your guys see it as a night off. And they really hurt you so bad in the RPI and in getting ready for the season in general that we want to stay away from them.

Not too many high-major programs are willing to go to a team from a mid-major conference and play a true road game, but our guys are willing to do it ... Our guys are going to have to go on the road eight times in the SEC and play in tough places. Why not get ready for that? — Tennessee associate athletic director John Currie "If we're going to play a team from a mid-major or low-major conference, rather than getting the team that finished 10th, [we try to] get the team that finished first, second or third."

He hired Bruce Pearl and built him a practice facility.

I think he's plenty basketbally.
