LOL. Good luck with this thread. People on this board like to bash our AD whenever we lose a game, but have no idea what an AD is responsible for. The flamers also couldn't name five AD's in the world, and the few they could name aren't leaving their current job for Columbia.
Truth is, AD's have very little to do with wins and losses. We have the right guy. If WM does his job, great! If he doesn't, whoever AD is will fire him and we'll be somewhat disappointed on how many established coaches actually want this job over others.
See Tom Herman/Justin Fuente/etc.
Only slam dunk hires over the last 3 AD's were Tanner and Spurrier. Truth is, Spurrier wanted to be in the SEC and only job that made sense was us. He was coming here regardless who AD was. Problem is, when you hire a coach on his last leg, it often doesn't end well. And it didn't.
Mark Kingston was one win from Omaha in his first year and some want to critcize him in an obvious rebuild in year 2?!? Wake up and get a dose of reality. He needs at least 4 years to show what he can do.
