Gene Taylor: Best AD of all time, or merely a top-5 AD of all time?

[TheProdigiousTalent]

He seems to be really good at picking/hiring coaches.

Like we all knew about him!

We’re obviously just brushing baseball under the rug, right?

Now that football (most important) and basketball (slightly important) are on cruise control, I'm sure the mustang will spread a little magic around the hobby sports. I would love to see baseball and golf take off. I hate seeing all of the Texas and Oklahoma State players at top of the tour standings.

I can’t imagine that they are going to hire an AD that is 6 years older than the retiring AD.

Gene is swimming in his saltwater pool right now and wants no part of Iowa

Forced retirement and no, Gene Taylor, will not be a candidate there, even if he wanted to be. He's involved in one of the scandals that is contributing to Barta's forced retirement.

No one should be surprised that Sleepy Gene (a label that still fits perfectly at times) was not exactly a stickler for the details.

The Fargo Supper club has regular chapter meetings in Manhattan KS, and I don’t see they changing anytime soon.

If they have any interest in entertaining me, they'll hire Jamie Pollard.

As we should

Has baseball ever been not under the rug?

That delight would be well received in my brain.

He most certainly was not! He's an angel.
