No good AD candidate will come here when we don't have a president in place. And the outlook there is poor. Last time we ended up with two finalists that were certainly not top drawer. I realize that LSU snatched up our second choice, but I watched his presentation and, meh . . . . I had high hopes for Caslen, but what a disaster. Pastides had a successful run, but my understanding is that he is stop gap this time. And how do we attract a good president candidate with that BOT and a general assembly that wants to get involved all the time? (Clemson does not put up with that and has become much more stable). If we end up with another political hack, expect more of the same at USC. No good AD candidate is going to work under that scenario.
