Good News-Arizona AD

[xsteve1]

Bobo won't be heading to Arizona as the next AD. Hopefully we can lock up Mike for awhile.

My daughter teaches Byrne's kid at the middle school in Starkville, and I have met him on several occasions. He is a really great guy, and from what I can tell, he has done an excellent job in his brief time at the helm. MSU will have a difficult time finding someone in his league as a replacement, but with the money the school has to spend, I am sure that there will be a lot of good candidates vying for the job.

AZ is getting a young guy that seems to be a tireless worker. I am sure that Greg and Sean will get along well.

Wow they offered him more money but he left anyway?

Amazing. I guess I shouldn't be surprised, people in this profession never take more money.

Greg seems like a very good hire. They wanted to keep him pretty badly, they offered him more money/incentives, but he still left to be closer to family and friends. We hadn't heard anything about Bobo for a long while, which is why I couldn't understand why some were on your board about it. Mike's a heck of a heck of an AD and will continue to do a great job at Xavier. I'm glad the hire was finally made.

Does anybody think he will chair the selection committee in his fifth year? How does one get elected to the chair?
