Who do you want to be the next Gophers AD?

[GopherLady]

I feel like it's soon to speculate, but people are tweeting away. Let's make a running list of who you'd want, or who you think will get it. Go....

 

[Better Dead Than Red]

Bleed

 

[Curseislifted33]

Phil Esten

 

[GhostofBronko]

John Chadima

 

[BarnBoy]

Do a reverse search for someone who quickly and recently built the dopest, blingy-est, most state-of-the-art practice facilities.

 

[Tim Riggins]

Bring back Joel Maturi

 

[FireDaveLee]

Buddy Garrity

 

[PackerGopher]

Jerry Kill (just add to his job title)

 

[MNGoldenGophers1]

Doc and joe dirt as assoc AD

 

[MadtownGopher]

Tony Dungy!

But seriously, I don't know many names that would be under consideration. Pete Najarian would get the facilities built and that is probably enough for me!

 

[GopherLady]

Phil Esten

Just an FYI where he is right now (I know some were asking)...

 

[beavergopher]

A transgender, lesbian, white women who identifies herself as black must be on the short list.

As I said on previous thread, I'd go get him.

 

[50PoundHead]

Tony Dungy!

You beat me to the obligatory mention of Dungy.

Seriously, hard to tell. I'm sure there are a ton of names. Football program is in a lot better shape than when Teague took the job, so that should be a plus.

Wren.

Not at all PC, but very funny.

 

[Ski U Mah Gopher]

Let's see how Beth Goetz does in her stint as interim AD.

She might end up being the best candidate.

 

[GoldMedalCounty]

Phil Knight.

 

[KGF]

Donald Trump. $$$$$ I sure don't want him as President tho.

 

[short ornery norwegian]

Two ways you can go:
1. hire someone with AD experience at a D1 school - maybe a mid-major or a non-power 5 conf school looking to move up a notch.
2. hire a young up-and-comer type - maybe an assistant AD at a power-5 school

 

[beavergopher]

Lou Nanne until the project is done.

 

[BleedGopher]

Ha!

I want an AD that comes from a big time football program.

Go Gophers!!

 

[howeda7]

Bring back Joel Maturi

Anything but that.

 

[howeda7]

Lou Nanne until the project is done.

+1. He's no spring chicken and may not want the job, but I'd take it.

 

[dpodoll68]

Mark Coyle is a name to watch. He's the current AD at Boise St. and used to work as an assistant AD here at the U.

I think he was recently hired by Syracuse. Good suggestion though.

Hadn't heard - thanks for the update!

 

[BleedGopher]

Does David Benedict's ties to Teague (at VCU and here) eliminate him for the role? He was really well respected here and is now at Auburn.

Go Gophers!!

Jon Stewart is available.

Go Gophers

 

[Slim Tubby]

Jerry Kill....hire great budget/financial minds to run things behind the scenes for him and allow Jerry to go out and network/fundraise. Everybody loves Coach Kill.
