new AD Hire (next door neighbor dad looking guy from iowa)

[NDSU Lollypopkid]

He literally put that shitty school on the map.

Yours will be tougher to put on the map, but if anyone can do it, it'll be Mean Gene

[Panjandrum]

Bill isn't involved in this process

I'm not entirely sure about that. we had a committee that narrowed it down and then sent it to myers and I'm pretty sure that myers, wefald and Snyder talk to each other a decent amount.

Right, he isn't interviewing dudes though as pj insinuated.

My thought was more in line with what Daris said, and they laughed the suggestion out of the room, and not that he interviewed, but I should have been more clear.

I'm fine with this guy.  Seems competent, and NDSU has become a freaking machine.  He's starting from a good place.

I will say that this makes me feel like Chris Klieman is probably going to be on the map for next football coach, though.

[Pete]

Maybe Bohol too

[The Big Train]

He's on the clock now with oscar

[Pete]

So far, I like the idea of this dude way better than the other candidates.  Has been around a lot of winning.

some guy on gpc texted his friend who he says works in the Iowa AD...

[Jackstack99EMAW]

Yeah the more i think about it the more I like this hire.

We hired bizzaro George Costanza.

[cfbandyman]

He seems decent, worth a shot.

[Kat Kid]

fine

[kim carnes]

I want to go on record as saying that I do NOT like this hire.

For context, how were you on the Currie hire?

[wetwillie]

I honestly have no idea what to think about him.  He seems less abrasive and slightly less awkward than Currie. 

[ChiComCat]

Better than I expected.  Not a home run but seems like a solid hire.

Also, I think he needs to be booked on Talk of the Townies so the locals can get to know him.

[BackPayne]

But what are his thoughts on oscar?

He looks like a high school principal that kids love, but would kick your ass if you messed up.

i thought that since half of all the ad's and final four coaches in the world attended or worked at kstate it was going to be easy to hire someone good.

it know it seems stupid once you see it written out like that, but i really thought it'd be that easy.  just an old-fashioned scoop job.

I know right? Get a load of this Gary from Bismarck guy!

[GoodForAnother]

At first I was like he looks like a loser but now I think he's a really cool guy who will hopefully cheat a lot and hire good guys

[scottwildcat]

I don't think there was an AD that would get me super excited, but I'm not mad at all about this hire.
