I could care less if it is a woman or man just as long as they are effective for Furman athletics. Off the top of your head you would be absolutely wrong about the number of female D1 AD's (that would be 35). I don't think Pitt. Washington and Penn State to name a few have women AD's for experimentation purposes.apaladin wrote: ↑Thu May 30, 2019 12:31 pmWhy so much love for a woman AD?

They may or may not be a good hire but with the current state of FU athletics it's prolly not a good time to be experimenting. The UNCA AD has no experience dealing with football either. IMHO we need someone with D1 experience. D1 is a whole different game compared to D2 and lower.
Yep. Like most things in our society, just because we (society) are slow to implement something that's different, doesn't mean that it's not worth doing. Women play college sports, they get degrees in business, they know how to fundraise. I'm quite certain that one would make a successful AD. Flipping through the list, it seems that there are several women ADs at a level that's similar to Furman's. I hope we consider all candidates and make the best decision possible.FU3 wrote: ↑Thu May 30, 2019 1:53 pmI could care less if it is a woman or man just as long as they are effective for Furman athletics.

Thought briefly about CC myself. I believe he was Gary Clark's right hand man for several years. I think he just got that gig at the Conference Carolinas very recently. Not sure if he would want to leave so soon/what else is on his resume post Furman.Mr. Taggart wrote: ↑Thu May 30, 2019 4:48 pmChris Colvin at Conference Carolinas and Brian Reese at Lander are two strong names with Furman ties.
On the imitation is the sincerest form of flattery front, I would sure give Danny Morrison a call to see if he wants to get back into the small school AD gig.
“The one at NC State” was already succeeded by the man who MB is succeeding at Army.apaladin wrote: ↑Thu May 30, 2019 12:31 pmWhy so much love for a woman AD?

I do not see any reason to not take another look at Janet Cone of UNCA. Just because UNCA does not have football?
I think that Furman alumna Janet Cone is a good prospect we should consider again.
