I'll admit, I'm not a fan of the red blazer that he's always sporting, but other than that and his propensity to engage in twitter wars, he's been an awesome AD. Very engaging with fans and the OM culture.
I know that OM is probably not a destination job but we need to try whatever it takes to hold on to him
I'll have to disagree with the red blazer comment but I agree with the rest
When I was covering Ole Miss sports, every time I came in contact with him he was always very engaging and would stand and talk to you for 10+ minutes at a time if he wasn't too busy. And it wouldn't always be about sports. He'd ask how I was doing, if I needed help with anything or just life in general. He may not want to stay at Ole Miss forever, but after being around him, he definitely made me think he wants to be here for good. He's definitely a breath of fresh air that the athletics department and the university needed. We need to get away from the "good ole boy" system and he's one giant step in that direction.
And if Ross did leave, I think we need to promote Kyle Campbell to his position. Campbell is just like Ross and would be a great hire if need be.

Absolutely disagree. He may be a good candidate for External AD one day, but he has ZERO fundraising experience. Scott Stricklin lucked into his position. I don't want another Scott Stricklin.
