I think Bowen was a top candidate before we hired TS. Wonder if he would consider leaving Memphis? IMO, It's time to move on from GOL as an AD.. and hire a real one.
In the Group of 5, a good athletic director is just like a good coach. You always want someone who is capable and can take your school to the next level, but run the risk of them making that jump to the Power 5 on their own. With that in mind, we combed the entire G5 to find the best AD in each conference, and even tried to identify who from the P5 might be looking to poach them. After all, like a good coach, a good athletic director is always in demand.
