Meh

Odd choice. Personally, I don't hire an existing AD that has never conducted a major coaching search. He has never hired a FB or BB coach. Not aware of any major facilities upgrades he oversaw and can't find anything saying he is a fundraising master.

From the press release in the original post...

Rhoades, 43, was the athletics director at the University of Akron since 2006, overseeing a period of unprecedented growth in the Zips athletics program that includes a new $54 million on-campus football stadium scheduled to open in the fall, an indoor football practice facility and student center, and plans for basketball arena improvements to begin in the spring.

fair enough. Still, never made a major hire.
