This man should be AD

I'd say president. It's a big business and there wouldn't be much he couldn't handle including the BOT

He may be more valuable on the outside where he can say what he thinks and call BS if the BOT restarts their nonsense

The only thing I disagree with him on is the Tuesday/Thursday night thing.

An occasional Tuesday or Thursday night game is OK, but the way they wrote it up made it sound like he's advocating most games be during the week.

He means occasional. No way we would or even could play every week day.

I'm on board with everything as long as there is enough space for setting up tailgates and no more than 1 or 2 weeknight games a season.

Once a season for Tuesday or Thurs game would be all that I could stomach without getting indigestion.

I was thrown off by this...

Why would he ever take that pay cut though?

Oh I agree. It would have to be a labor of love. I have family that works for him. Great company and great CEO. I was not serious about him really being our AD but if he wanted the job he would be a good one.

I guess I should have used blue font but it's hard to do it on the phone while you are working.

The same reason the CEO of Disney became chairman on the Chargers/Raiders Stadium project in LA for $1 per year...because it is something he believes in and likely doesn't need the money.

True.

Or you could not be so defensive. I wasn't being serious and I didn't think you were being serious about him being AD either.
