Quick reminder that half the "conglomerate" were backing Hewitt at the midpoint of this season.

run by selective conglomerate?

According to the press release from the school, the university will begin recruiting a new AD immediately.

O'Connor will remain at the university in a fundraising role until Jan. 2015.

This does mean another year of Paul Ball. Going to be really tough to go through evaluation & hiring of new AD, let him/her do their evaluation, and fire/hire a new coach.

On the plus side, I'm also betting it means Hewitt's got 1 year left.

So he won't be doing anything.

The selective conglomerate is based on your responses in the Hewitt poll. Only Hewitt Supporters ("Party Members") will get a vote.

So it's a free and open election process, like in the Crimea or UAW.

This hire will tell me a lot about Cabrera...

Eh, more likely to be confirmation bias either way. Without knowing the process, the hire may not tell us much about Cabrera. He's a strong university president who doesn't have much experience hiring within athletics so he'll rely upon others to advise him. Those are things we probably already know, but we're unlikely to know all of the options he's considering.

There will be armed, unmarked Athletic Department Representatives on hand to assist in the referendum.

Are there any recently-fired, ACC retread ADs available?

In the off chance el presente reads this, let's not give them any ideas...

Let's just hope we don't get this company to help with the search. http://www.athleticsolutionsllc.com/

I'll be more than happy to be the AD.

[mason2k1]

O'Connor will remain at the university in a fundraising role until Jan. 2015.

Would we prefer the hiring of an athletic administrator from a school with football? Now, I'm not saying that Mason should start a football program, but shouldn't the school give football the appropriate consideration?

Is Debbie Yow available?
