I'd say this is a pretty good hire for us. Troy is speculating that a press conference may come tomorrow.

Everyone kn ows he was in Greenville the last few days....are they reporting that OR he IS SIGNED.

I missed the beginning of the show, but it sounds like at the start of the program, they were speculating that he was the new AD. By the end of the show (the part I heard), they said that according to reports, Holland had already signed a five year contract.

Let's see if we get any official word tomorrow.

They reitterated the same about 20mins ago (NOW ITS 7pm),

It ended a search that began after Mike Hamrick took the athletics director's job at the University of Nevada-Las Vegas in August 2003. ECU signed Holland, 62, to a five-year contract that starts at $276,000 a year, with annual raises of $6,000.
