“I’m thrilled, to be honest,” said Gutzke.

He recently had “a good interview” with Turnkey, the search firm hired by the university. “They will whittle it down to 10 or 15 names to present to the search committee. I’ve heard they want it done by July 1,” Gutzke said


Gutzke is campaigning on four pillars:

• Leadership (setting a strong tone, making hard decisions, holding people accountable, building respect for the school).

• Fundraising (articulating how sports success impacts the whole university).

• Community Connection (getting fans back from boardrooms to small towns, keeping grads locally employed to build a long-term alumni base).

• Athletes’ Experience (making it a positive one, lasting a lifetime).

He would stress connecting with local firms. “I know three of the four ownership groups of the pro teams,” he said, “and a lot of the Fortune 500 (executives).” Also paramount, he said, is reaching out to state high school coaches, as Jerry Kill was doing.
 

Good for him for getting an interview. His background doesn't seem to match up with others on the list, but glad we're taking a wide look at candidates.
