Rumor has it Mike Buddie will leave to go to Army/West Point as AD.

Wonder who from in house we hire after an "extensive nationwide search".

heard the same.

If true.....well, we knew he wasn't going to be here for the long term. A little surprised it's only a modest move up, but again not totally unexpected. Trust Dr Davis to find a solid replacement.

In-house hire unlikely IMO as Buddie hired two young people with no Furman connections as assistants. I think the choice will be a Power 5 assistant or a D-II/III AD. Anybody have a feeling on which would be better?

We all knew he would leave at the first decent opportunity so no big surprise. Wish he could have stuck around a little longer.

Understandable decision IMO. Buddie leaves at a time when Furman athletics are in an overall good place, gets a better payday, and avoids some of the tough decisions on the horizon.

In house I like Erin Wissing and Dan Brinkman based on their bios. Outside Janet Cone was my close second to Buddie last time. Looking forward to seeing a list.

You know Furman, we will never see a list. It will be kept secret. Only list we will see will be speculative.
