Any word at all on potential AD yet?

this is one of the most important hires the Chanellor will make at App, she gets this wrong, and the program takes a step backwards she will have to answer for it, so it makes all the sense in the world that the person she hires has a strong background in leading an athletic dept. Personally, I could care less if its a man or women, they better just know what the hell they are doing from day 1.

I don't know where Galloway ended up, but as I recall, he moved up from here or after one more gig he moved up.
Actually he ended up in the ACC, albeit Wake:

He initially left for West Virginia - went to WF and is now back at WVU as an assistant head coach ---

Will you take the job WV? I'm sure you'd do just a fine of a job as our last two clowns, plus I'm sure your heart would be in it ore than theirs.

I'm sure with an out-of-state Chancellor now this gentleman won't even get an interview:

Neil McGeachy at Lenoir Rhyne.
http://www.lr.edu/about-us/office-of-th ... l-mcgeachy

Former head coach of the Duke Blue Devils Basketball squad. He has experience at both big-time programs and AD experience at a small-time school. He has built LR to what might be the best DII athletic program in the nation. Even though the football team runs the triple option (the chance that our team will switch to the triple option will cause protests by some of the alumni and mean a slow rebuild for our football team) they have massively over-achieved the last few years making it to the national championship game last year and on track to win it this year. (I wouldn't want App to play them this year)

The basketball program is historically good as well. Plus Mr McGeachy has no set formula for hiring coaches. Some come from other DII schools, some top assistants at FBS schools (like their current football coach) and some from the junior college ranks.

What he is best known for is fundraising. He knows North Carolina particularly Hickory and Charlotte. He can come in day one and hit the ground running in regards to fundraising.

Their football attendance is probably the best in DII and this was the case before they became nationally relevant. The community of Hickory loves the job he's done. The alumni base loves the job he's done. I really think he could be a home run.

He played football and ran track with my uncle in high school and college. We actually emailed a few times. I think he could be really good. The only potential problem, he's probably about 70 years old.
