GOL took the position of A.D. and moved current assistant H.C. into H.C. position?
I believe George has set up the culture of winning and academics with his program
he sold Hitt on more than anybody else. He could transition into position by end
of year.

Here's what was said about Stansbury in Oregon article:

During his three and a half years at UCF, Stansbury oversaw the Knights' transition from Conference USA to the American Athletic Conference. UCF football excelled during his tenure, going 31-9 over three seasons.

Stansbury helped the Knights expand their donor base by 47 percent and win 12 conference championships. With him at the helm, UCF also thrived in the classroom. It set a school record in 2012-13 for highest GPA (3.17). During his run in Orlando, the Knights boasted the highest graduation rate of any public Division I university in the country.

"Oregon State hired a winner in every sense of the word," UCF president John C. Hitt said. "Todd fostered a culture of academic and athletic success at UCF. He has done a marvelous job and the UCF family appreciates all he and Karen have done for the Knights. He will be missed."

In early April, Stansbury was named to the newly established Football Oversight Committee, which supervises licensing of postseason bowls and the selection process for the FCS championship.
 
I don't thinks so. A coach for one sport is a lot different than running a whole athletics operation and GOL most likely doesn't even want that headache. He'll retire a HC @ UCF
 
See the front page. Good idea? Football does run things in the new age, but how long till he thinks of retirement?
 
"Send Hitt his resume." LOL, good one. Haven't seen that joke since uh...2005...Are you sure you aren't a Marshall fan? LOL

Can you imagine O'leary as AD? Geezus, these non-revenue sports would need to get in line real quick!

O'leary has mentioned (in jest) in past interviews that when he retires he wants to experience tailgating. Can you imagine if Dr. Hitt gave him Admiral Harm's old job of tailgate director. Surely someone can come up with some funny things with O'leary as director of pre-game activities!

Not a good idea. Do you really want GOL as the face of the athletic program? Do you want him hiring coaches?

I agree with muck 1000%, GOL is a head football coach and that's it. They had to tell him how to behave and promote when we moved to the AAC. And after the Plancher thing, GOL changed. He had to.
 
Speaking of Marshall, do they have a decent AD right now??
