He was in my top 3.

I think it’s a solid hire.

I agree. Not a press conference hire, but a solid systems manager.

We will see. Seems okay on the surface.

Soon as I heard he was coming from Memphis I thought this is a Laurie-Walton hire.

Just like with Odom and Kerrick Jackson the Laurie-Walton family have a hand in who is hired.

They control almost all of Memphis sports and now they are bringing their people to Mizzou.

It’s not necessarily a bad thing it gives us a lot more money.

They have a home outside Las Vegas. UNLV has been getting anonymous donations since 2014 and not just from the Raiders. Their man Odom is the coach now

Frank Haith is the Asst at Memphis

It could all just be a coincidence though

Raise money and hold folks accountable.

Seems like he has the ability to do it.

President Mun Choi said in a release. “I want to thank Curator Blitz and the search committee for identifying the right leader to build upon the incredible momentum of Mizzou Athletics.

Ummm...

Probably means the momentum of football because everything else sucks.

A solid hire on the surface. Memphis has done more with less than most schools out there. The Tigers, bless them, are maybe the third most popular college team in Memphis. But they've built a fairly good sports system there.
