That's certainly true with an AD job at a great school like Michigan with a huge fanbase and tons of money for top-notch facilities. I can imagine being the AD at a school like Eastern Michigan is a financial nightmare. Probably have to do tough decisions like cutting programs/firing staff, not to mention drumming up attendance, due to the horrible financial situations some of these institutions find themselves in.

He never reall left Knoxville. When I lived there there were billboards for his realty stuff all over the place. Plus it's Tenn so they like to keep it all in the family.

He is a safe choice. Quite, a backbencher kind of guy. After what tenn has had recently that would help settle things done in Knoxville.
