Delaware AD gone
UD just announced AD is "resigning" effective 12/31. Gotta be a lotta happy chickens over in the Hen House. That job is going to be a tough one in the current climate as it sure seems like Delaware's admin and legislature are ready to completely punt on Athletics from everything that's happened (or really, hasn't happened) the last few years.

He hand picked the football coach. Old buddies. Can you believe they canned K.C. for that guy?

Keeler got canned for being an "a**hole" as my UD relatives have told me. The new guy is a "nice guy, too bad he can't coach".
I think the general story goes, AD to Keeler, "hey, your job is safe, just don't fire anyone right away until I get things in order". Keeler proceeds to fire a coordinator and laughs about it.

Not many great coaches can also be called nice guys at least by their players.

We are screwed. Bourne will never leave JMU, no accountability, no ambition, no communication, a perfect JMU/Bourne fit...
My DC rep is hearing this message, "no communication, no money, in fact, please explain JMU's huge athletic budget."
Bourne's JMU/CAA legacy...the least from the most annual award.

He would then proceed to use his "connections" to keep JMU there forever ... Argh!
