Who is the worst AD in the SEC?

I nominated Mike Alden from Mizzou.
He's been here for 16 years, and in that time period our 18 varsity sports have won a combined 5 conference championships. The only men's sport to win a conference championship since Mike Alden arrived is wrestling.
16 years x 18 sports = 288 seasons of sports
5 conference championships in 288 seasons.
He also hired Frank Haith.
Anyone worse?

He has also hired FOUR basketball coaches in 16 years.

Haith was such a bad hire, very puzzling.

Damn. I was going to say Jay Jacobs until you introduced me to Mike Alden. That sounds miserable (being a mizzou fan during his era)

I have to nominate UK AD Mitch Barnhart for two non-stellar hires:
1. Billy Gillispie, who nearly destroyed our basketball program;
2. Joker Phillips, who succeeded in destroying our football program.

Probably Jeff Long. He could have covered up the Petrino scandal like any other AD would. Instead he used the incident to make himself look good and then hired BB.

Jeff Long and probably Jay Jacobs a distant 2nd.

I nominate turbo nerd, Scott Stricklin.

Mike Hamilton was the worst. Now, I'm not sure who can claim the title of worst SEC AD.

Alden and Jay Jacobs are both very strong choices.

Jeff Long

Foley.

Jay Jacobs' results on the playing field speaks for itself. We suck in nearly all sports now including swimming & diving. I dont know anything about Mizzou's but Jacobs took over a strong AD & it has turned to shite.

Definitely Long. Not even close.
Posted on 3/8/14 at 8:15 pm to KCM0Tiger
Jay Jacobs in a landslide

I'm not flaming when I say this, but Scott Stricklin at State isn't anything to write home about.

If Kennedy is still coaching after Thursday's loss to Missouri, Eric Hyman.

If not for red panties, Damon Evans would be on this list.

Stricklin is a hell of an AD. Although, his feelings and kindness get in the way of things. If there is a fault you want an AD to have, that is one of them.
