Chow as A D ? Are you smoking crack? Shoji as the AD would be more likely although being over 65 doesn’t help. Shoji is currently taking stem cells to reverse his age to 45 and be around uh campus for another 25 years.

Dave, would recruiting hurt next years class by waiting 2 weeks?

Didn’t Dave’s name come up for AD before Frazier or Jim D?

I would look for changes on football staff in a week or two at the most. Right now the football program’s priority is closure for Willis Wilson and his family.

Actually I think Norm Chow would be a better AD than either of these guys. Jay should fall on his sword, or broken back, and kick Chow upstairs, allowing for the hiring of someone like Babers or Norwood to coach the football team. Dave: so if Chow is going to make some changes to his staff, when would that take place? If he ain’t gonna change nothing, ain’t nobody going to by a ticket or order PPV.

I just can’t see Shoji wanting to be AD. At 67, he would, I think, be content to have a foot in the program, but have the luxury to take time off to spend with his wife and family.

don’t believe that shoji would want the job due to his age and does not need the headaches that come with the position. while he could do it, but he would be stupid if he did. however, does this implies that jay might bolt in the not too distant future; he might feel that this is not what he expected – an impossible job.

If it’s in “a few years” I don’t see him having a desire to be the top. Admin assistant kind of role, maybe. You would want someone long-term (5 years minimum) and they would be expected to work long hours. Travel to see the sons play professional and visit the daughter and grandkids, see the world, plus spend more time on the golf course, may not be convenient if he became AD.
