ECU AD Jon Gilbert top candidate for Tennessee AD position

"Jon Gilbert (East Carolina athletic director)
Gilbert has been the AD at East Carolina since December 2018 in what’s been his second stop since his stint at Tennessee. He initially left the Vols to be the athletic director at Southern Miss before departing for Greenville a year later. In his time with the Pirates he’s hired a football coach (Mike Houston from FCS power James Madison) and led sweeping renovations to football facilities, including East Carolina’s stadium. At Tennessee, Gilbert was an associate athletic director and one of Dave Hart’s top aides for more than five years and was heavily involved in the Vols’ basketball program. He previously worked with Hart at Alabama and thus has plenty of administrative experience in the SEC."

I thought he made two good hires in Houston and Dooley. They have yet to pay full dividends.
