Any idea why his name is gaining traction for the AD job?

Hell, we’ve been hearing about an AD hire for weeks. I’ll believe it when I see it.

He’s a really sharp dude. I think he would do a great job but who knows. AD is hard to tell sometimes.

The athletic director at U Conn? He does have a history at Auburn which is worth some consideration.

no clue but appartently he likes to spend $$$ as UCONN has had a budget defecit for a few years.

He was one of the main people who worked on the long term Under Armour deal

Also, hoke had a post about him when he was a candidate before ADAG was hired and said he would be a bad hire and a lot of people would leave the AD.

I'm on board with Kung Fu's idea, we should hire Snoop

Thought Utah State dude was the choice?

If we hire the UConn AD is he bringing their football coach? Jim Mora Jr?

He was also key in negotiating the school’s nine-year contract extension with Under Armour as the official apparel brand of the Tigers.

Because of this alone...do not want.
CT Insider

ETA: I don't know if this counts as "traction" but AL.com had him pegged from the beginning according to the linked article from Aug 28th.
