per Shama:
There are two individuals at the University of Minnesota who should have the most say in who becomes the next athletic director—president Eric Kaler and Gophers football coach Jerry Kill.
Kaler and a few others hired Norwood Teague for the job three years ago. Teague was a poor choice and his flaws were seen long before he became a national news story because of sexual harassment. A trusted source told Sports Headliners that no one in the small group who finalized the hire of Teague was a University of Minnesota coach.
That is an error in judgment which can’t be repeated in hiring Teague’s successor. Kaler and other academics need a small number of administrators and coaches from the athletic department’s 25 sports to lend expertise and balance to the vetting process. A couple of the best and brightest from the athletic department should be part of the inner circle making the final selection. An extraordinary business person with expertise in athletics, hiring, fundraising and marketing is a must-have member, too.
Could you imagine a search committee comprised only of Gophers coaches and athletic administrators selecting the school’s next president? With no representatives from the academic world, the makeup of such a group would make no sense.
