Who’s Next? AD Search Thread.

I believe whoever we choose needs to have (or quickly develop) close relationships with Russian oligarchs. I have no idea about many of these names that are being thrown around (at least the non-joke ones) but I figure the applicant pool will be strong and include some names that none or few of us are familiar with but have the cultural fit and talent chops to accelerate the vision.

So Vlad Brodziansky for AD?

Of course because it's common knowledge that all Slovakians have ties to Russian oligarchs. Kinda opens up the applicant pool.

I look forward to TCU AD Vladimir Putin.

It’s a time like this that I’m really glad we don’t have Baylor’s Board of Idiots.

Whoever it turns out to be, I would think the hardest part of the job is to have to exert authority over and hold Gary responsible for his work. Not exactly the easiest task, or most pleasant I would guess...

 

[Jefffrog1993]

Why not L.T. ? I think we should trust our leaders that were smart enough to Hire CDC to pick the next AD. Mic Drop!

In what ways would Gary need to be held responsible for his work? That’s not something I’m sure CDC ever had to do.

Great mic drop, man

Jeff Long, yeah right. I would rather hire Kim Jung Un.

 

[Moose Stuff]

Anyone thrown Ian McCaw into the mix yet?

 

[Double V]

Abort! Abort!

This is, without question, a Top 5 entry into the Post of The Year Award. Instant finalist.

Saying that the next AD just needs to steer the ship is shortsighted IMO. CDC was given some lofty goals and was expected to accomplish the them. I say we need to have equally as lofty goals set out for the next AD and the expectation that the goals will be accomplished.

 

[Pharm Frog]

Jeff Long, yeah right. I would rather hire Kim Jung Un.

Probably has some good contacts among those Russian oligarchs.

 

[More Frogs the Better]

Jeff Long? Even if TCU could discount his role in the 2014 CFB debacle--which I don't think we should do--at minimum, we can probably attract an AD who hasn't been fired for poor performance in the last 12 months.

Wouldn't mind seeing more vocal backlash on this JL idea and maybe that will plant some seeds in these admins minds that their biases and false facts in CFPSC potentially does have longterm employment ramifications.

 

[Dogfrog]

Brett McMurphy already insane.

Everybody has to account to someone. Gary answers to the AD. CDC has to approve every single cent that Gary asks the athletic department to spend. The AD are the ones that hire and fire the coaches. Nobody in the media likes to ask Gary hard questions about his game planning or decisions, but it falls on the AD that he is the guy that has to if there is a need to...
My only point was that whoever the AD is, cannot be successful without the ability to be able to have the coaches maintain their accountability.

 

[tetonfrog]

Next AD should start with these goals:

1) Finish fundraising on ACS expansion.
2) Keep strong coaches on staff
3) Continue to build ties to local nonTCUgrad fans and get them to events
4) Make sure TCU gets accepted into Power 4 Conference in 2025

Honestly, I hope CDC left some good names internally and externally he recommends. However, Boschini and BOR will knock it out of the park. They are great group at hiring.
