I have no idea if RS would be a good AD, but your comment is absurd. I didn’t

say or imply RS should be considered for AD. Little chance RS is interested. DAinge may be interested and I think would be an excellent AD.

As I pointed out, AD leaves uniform choices primarily to the athletes.

Utah Hockey Club improvement from previous ownership in AZ to RS and team in Utah and Qualtrics success are indicators that RS has some of the needed skills, personality, etc.

DAinge has a history of success in managing sports organizations. I think DAinge would be a great AD.

Chad Lewis should be the next AD at BYU…He understands the Mission of the Church

He would be great, and other ADs would like working with him.

Would love to know your source…cause Chad doesn’t swear. Weird if so

They probably saw a big bald white guy and just assumed it was Chad Lewis

LOL. That actually doesn’t shock me that he was zooming in a no wake zone

Zero belief in this. I know Chad pretty well.

This kind of comment is embarrassing.

Yep don’t like this stuff. Seems like it does or should violate rules…

What could be greater than BYU AD?

I firmly and unequivocally disagree. It should be a successful, forward-thinking

LSUcougar92

Most importantly he needs to be a leader of young men and young women

coot20

Mar 30, 12:35pm

That’s what they can have coaches and assistant ADs for. And in this current era

LSUcougar92

Mar 30, 12:36pm

Also, a "successful, forward-thinking CEO type" and an LDS person who can work with the BOT are not mutually exclusive

ManicBlue

Mar 30, 12:52pm

Exactly

LSUcougar92

Mar 30, 12:53pm

I agree. Chad and Brian are great Assoc. ADs.

The last thing we need is BYU athletics becoming more corporate

It doesn’t have to be them, but something like that. But I think the primary

Being respected by that industry doesn’t get you far. The last 2 PAC

No one is saying someone who relies on relationships, but yes, being well

Respects gets you nothing in those meetings. They have shown time and time again

Mar 30, 1:26pm

Bad take. They have to respect you to be willing to work with you. Then you use

Mar 30, 2:22pm

You keep using the PAC and PAC schools as an example of what you think I want…

Scott didn’t have a thing to do with the Apple deal…not sure why you bring that

Mar 30, 2:49pm

He put them in the position they were in. Everything that happened afterwards

LSUcougar92

Mar 30, 3:40pm

I was barely alive in the 80s so I will have to take your word for it.

Mar 30, 5:46pm

I believe FL state and some ACC schools were talking to PE.

CoolB

Mar 30, 6:22pm

Looks like they started talking in 2022 and didn’t end up making the big deal

Mar 30, 6:34pm

AD is always more of a figurehead

novacoug1

Mar 30, 12:45pm

Um ... the conference makes decisions with the ADs not the Assoc. ADs.

ManicBlue

Mar 30, 12:48pm

Correct

So basically what Southwest Airlines is doing right now? No thanks to that.

Did you see the Jazz rebrand?! No thanks. Just take his money 😂

Frankfromtheballpark

Mar 30, 9:35pm

Yep, branding and uniform colors are at the top of AD responsibilities

If he can’t manage that, what makes you think they can manage an entire AD

Would Jimmer make a good AD at some point in the future?

No. I hate this kind of nepotism.

The BYU AD does not have the same power and authority as other ADs around

I would argue that because of that procedural nightmare that the AD is more

LSUcougar92

Mar 30, 2:21pm

True. See Fehlberg, Rondo

Unfortunately Rondo was stuck with Bateman. Rondo was a great AD

Regardless of what was said or not said on the lake …

Every candidate including Santiago will understand the mission of the church.

Read his book, Surrounded by Greatness, and you'll want Chad Lewis as our AD!!
