Any Athletic Directors available?

[BeaverPoke]

So the new UW-President is now in his 2nd day on the job.
If he does decide to make a change @ A.D., what athletic directors are available across the country?
Do we want a guy like CSU got where he makes football his #1 thing, that will lead to running off many other successful coaches?
Do we want another "Wyo boy", but this time hope that he is one of us? And by one of us, I mean a DIE-HARD brown&gold glasses wearing, determined to be successful at everything type guy?
Do we want someone who has worked his way up in other athletic departments/conferences, that is just using the job as a stepping stone similar to what coaches do at UW?

Thoughts?

I really hope we get someone who loves Wyo sports that truly believes he can turn us into a power.
I want 30K+ at every game @ the War. I want 10 wins a year. I want MWC titles. I want big time bowl games.
I want 12K+ at every game @ the AA. I want 25 wins a year. I want MWC titles. I want Sweet 16's.
I WANT BASEBALL!

Might be hard to put 30k in the war when the capacity is less than that at 29,181.

Okay, 28K+ every game.
Win a bunch of big games, get some big money into the program, upgrade the War to 45K and get 42K+ every game.

I would like to see the South End Zone get enclosed but it isn't feasible to expand when the only time it gets over 24k is when a big name comes in every other year or so. If we were selling out all the time then there would be justification. However there has been no justification for this. The 'if you build it, they will come" saying isn't applicable.

I think enclosing the South End Zone is the next step, but I wouldn't do it to add capacity. I would do it to add additional athletic facilities. Something along the lines of what Utah St. did (http://www.utahstateaggies.com/nezcomplex/ust-nezcomplex.html).

South doesn't need to be enclosed to increase capacity it should be closed to create a new and better look. With a big fat big screen on top.

Stop it. You are sharing too much "vision" for the current administration to comprehend.

I could dumb it down, A box with some folding metal chairs and a small tv for kids in the grass to see.

Probably.
Maybe he is just trying to say something nice.
Maybe it was a sincere statement, saying I am glad you didn't F*** it up.

Who knows though. Only time will tell.
