Nice guy. Think he got more credit than was deserved, but he was AD during Mississippi State's best athletic years. Pretty good hire, IMO. Interested to see how he does with that budget.

I am actually pretty familiar with Stricklin from some mutual interests. Here are a couple of good articles on him.

I have heard from people that weren't impressed with him, thought he got the job thru family connections and have been in rooms with him and he is kind of a shrinking violet, and I think that led some to think less of him.

He did do great things for State, and I think people focus too much on coach hires and such, but I think he is real good at the branding and business side.

He wears loafers. His nickname is Loafers. I'd like to see his collection of Adidas footwear. He likes Star Wars. Went to Jackson Prep HS. Married Bailey Howell's daughter. Likes technology. Likes twitters. Likes gadgets and fun stuff.

A lot of great things happened for State athletics during his tenure. Whether or not he was directly responsible for them can be debated. What cannot be debated is that donations and bulldog club membership are damn near triple what they were when he started.

So take that for what it's worth.
