Rick Hart interviewing somewhere else?

Postby AfricanMustang » Tue Apr 20, 2021 9:11 am

One day after it was learned that Washington State’s Pat Chun had interviewed for Northwestern’s vacant athletic director position, it appears the Wildcats are planning to go in a different direction.

Jon Wilner of the San Jose Mercury-News reported Monday morning Chun is not expected to be a candidate for the Northwestern job. Less than 24 hours earlier, a separate report from Wilner linked Chun to the vacancy in Evanston, Illinois, and indicated he was one of two sitting athletic directors in the Pac-12 to interview for the position, along with Cal’s Jim Knowlton.

Other candidates for the Northwestern job include UNLV’s Desiree Reed-Francis, SMU’s Rick Hart and Rice’s Joe Karlgaard, ESPN’s Adam Rittenberg reported Sunday.

As of 2017-18, previous Northwestern AD Jim Phillips was the second highest-paid AD in the country, earning an annual salary of $1.75 million. It’s unclear if Northwestern would’ve been able to match that salary for their new AD, but Chun, who currently makes $650,000 annually at WSU, would’ve been in line for a substantial raise nonetheless.

They don't want Rick Hart. Just a formality.

I doubt he is going anywhere. He just took the time to send me a nice video letting me know how important my Mustang Club donation is.

The Cal and WSU ADs are out of the running. https://twitter.com/wilnerhotline/statu ... 2624646149 & https://twitter.com/wilnerhotline/statu ... 1718780933

That's got to be a fake list as I can't see Northwestern hiring an AD from SMU, Rice or UNLV. Heck they should be able to pluck someone from most of the ACC or Big 12 schools!

If he can better his life, I'm good with him moving on.

Why not? North Carolina hired its AD from Tulsa.

Wasn't the UNC athletic dept. in turmoil those days? Their options may have been limited a bit.

I would think one question about Travis Mays would take Rick Hart out of consideration for any serious opportunity.

Can the Big Ten (11) get any more bad press?

I'd take a hard pass on going to that particular minefield....but some folks are driven to the crazy.

Hmmm...Hart DID come to SMU, so...
