I think Mann on the surface is a great hire. Far more important is that he is able to surround himself with the right people to accomplish his agenda.

Well he has an extensive background in football and has overseen men’s basketball at multiple colleges so I have a feeling we will continue to see an emphasis on those sports.

Congrats and welcome to the Tribe family, Brian!!

I know that it is prudent to not get too carried away on a hire based on the initial press release and a couple of newspaper articles, but I am having a difficult time not being really excited about this hire. I truly hope that we hit a grand slam home run this time. This hire just feels like the perfect fit this time. And the fact that Jeremy Martin served an integral role in the selection process just makes me feel that much better.

Am very positive about Brian Mann...appears to be a perfect hire for our current athletic situation and the future.

It would appear that Jeremy Martin and the selection panel have done their job well.

RE: 5 W&M AD Interviewees Confirmed & Kim Record Info
Brian's resume clearly shows he will provide outstanding talent as our new AD! His fundraising skills are much needed along with the development of a strategic plan for our Athletic program.

He will need time to access the current strength and weakness of our situation while seeking input. To be successful there is a need to blend the desires of our divergent interests into a well communicated vison that achieves compromise while providing a path to success. To do this he will need to determine how to develop his supporting team.

I hope he works out and stays a while. Seems like he's consistently worked with high academic schools. That's pretty important IMO.

We all hope he works out great -- although, as Tribal said, we'll have to wait and see.

I can't resist pointing out that, as co-chair of the selection committee, I expected Jeremy Martin to select someone in his own image philosophically.....but I didn't expect him to select someone so much in his own image physically.....right down to the scruffy beards they each have in their official photos.

Just watched the press conference and we have hired an excellent communicator who projects an authenticity that is engaging.

I most like how he seems to understand and admire how distinct W&M is within the D1 world and his aspiration to guide us. I wish him well. I think he will immediately bring some needed excitement and unity among the fan base.
