Three apply for LA Tech AD Position

[domangue]

Exactly. The News-Star is pathetic. The headline should have read, "Tech hires search firm for AD." Schools and applicants go through search firms to prevent the applications from getting sunshined and made public by the media.

The visual cortex of the brain is case sensitive, and no LaTech fan has ever said "We are LA Tech."

[Woof!]

Yes, I was going to say that of these three, Stan comes closest to meeting the specified qualifications:


Louisiana Tech University is seeking candidates for Director of Athletics. Full-time, 12-month position. Required qualifications include:


- Bachelor’s degree and Division 1 experience as a successful Athletics Director or Associate Athletics Director.

- Candidate must have advanced computer skills; organization and time management skills; and proven experience in public relations.

- Candidate must also have sound written and verbal communication skills, a commitment to athletic and academic success, knowledge of NCAA rules and bylaws.


Review of applications will begin immediately and will continue until the position is filled. Submit cover letter, resume with three references, and unofficial transcript by email only to Search Committee, Louisiana Tech University lori@latech.edu

I added a few things that are pertinent.

Hopefully this is propaganda fueled by News Star via NLU...if true although they are Tech grads (which would not necessarily be part of my criteria) I would rather see about 20 guys from this board than the three that the article referenced. None of these excite me. At least it is early in the process and some can express their displeasure FWIW.

I don't know Bullock, but do know JPS Aviation, and its well run.

This article could actually do Stan Williamson a diservice, if he is indeed the most qualified from a group being vetted by the search group. If the public perception is that no one else wanted the job, his ability to market could be crippled before it gets started. I know the marketing of an athletics department is a foreign concept at Tech, but he does look like he has the background for it from his CV. He might actually try it if he got the job!!

I do hope someone gets the Times to write something more positive as the process widens, etc.

The public perception cannot possibly hurt us more than our own marketing dumbassery has.

What about attacks on the poster?

I sure hope Stan gets it! Been wanting him back here for a long time! He will do a fantastic job and has a vision much greater than any past A.D. we have had.

I found the article to have a typical News Star anti Tech tone. I am sorry the Times picked it up. Does anybody know why Stan's contract was not renewed as stated in the srticle?

That I can handle, unless your name is Hernandez. I have come back and read some of my previous posts and wondered how I could be such an Idiot -- sitting around talking Tech athletics allows you a chance to qualify, retract. Posting can haunt you awhile. Say something with a smile and folks know your are clowning around, posting seems to be taken a little too serious.

Don't know much about him. Can you elaborate? What would we be getting in Bullock?

Bullock is the Louisiana Tech Alumni Association President. He unsuccessfully ran for a state representative seat in 2011.

[Schoochmagoo]

Pretty underwhelming list and the only one with relevant experience didn't get his contract renewed at a small school. Hopefully there are many more to come.
