Athletic Director Search Committee

[Kid Cajun]

"The committee was formed following the forced resignation of Farmer, who has been reassigned to a full-time faculty position in UL’s School of Kinesiology."

From Buckley's article in Advertiser on same topic.

The days of promoting a cherished and beloved coach to athletic director are about to be over. The business side of athletics has morphed the athletic director's position into much more than glad-handing supporters, raising money and making schedules. Experience in marketing, TV rights, production of athletic events, logistics, licensing, branding, etc. on a multi-million dollar scale is a must.

South Carolina has done it in the recent past. And miss st did it a month ago. Surround yourself with good peopleis the key

Bingo. Robe is an excellent baseball coach/ mentor but I'm struggling with the thought that some have in that translating to more of a business management role.

You both just got bonus points, I like the way you think.

Except I'm pretty sure he doesn't want two jobs as he has no intention of leaving coaching.

He said Wednesday he does not want to be athletic director period. He would like to slide over into an associate athletic director baseball position where he could continue to help raise money and build a national program. But after he wins a national championship. His words, not mine.
