It's been a few years, but I recall him introducing himself is She-An or She-Hawn . . . something along those lines.
Oh well, Congrates She-Hawn/Sean/Shane/She-An for the massive promotion . . . from after thought Missouri Valley School, to Bill Self's piss boy. Not bad.
Everyone has to start somewhere. Hell, Frank Martin went from a high school coach to head coach at K-State.

Your new athletic director started as a freshmen football coach at manhattan high.

The guy is blue blood EMAW. Coached at MHS, coached under Snyder, served in our AD...I mean, the guy was practically hand picked by a lot of people around the university to be the successor to Weiser and/or Krause.
Then we didn't even give the guy a real sniff in the process.
Congrats, KU. You hired a full-blooded Wildcat that we didn't even really want. Awesome job. Hope that works out well for you.
In the meantime, we'll finish building our state of the art basketball facility (with no debt) and embark on a $50 million football stadium upgrade (minimum) that will pay for itself in suite sales.
I wonder what the over/under is going to be for ADSZ having a nervous breakdown when they hand him the "real" budget and not the bullshit one they talk about with the public. I'm guessing he pisses his pants before passing out.
