With Bjork's potential departure, some names to watch as potential replacements are Arkansas AD Hunter Yurachek and Missouri AD Desiree Reed-Francois. Both have had fundraising success and broad success in the SEC. Yurachek in particular has built Arkansas into an AD that punches well above its weight in Football (this year notwithstanding), baseball, T&F, and basketball. I don't know many programs that do more with less.

Del Conte would also be a great get from Texas but doubt that is realistic. He was a clear homerun hire for them from TCU a few years back.

Bowtie!

Who does John Sharp want? Because that is who we will hire.

Crowdsource the AD duties to the zoo! Seriously, could we do any worse?

Watch it be the guy from Kansas who use to be at Arkansas. Can't remember his name.

We should see what Saban is up to.

Talk to Kirby Hocutt at TT. Has his fingers into a lot of responsibilities nationally that would maybe strengthen our position in a lot of areas.

At least explore the thought with him and if he is interested, go forward. Then again, tell John Sharp to stay out of the discussion.

What about Mac Rhoades at Baylor?

Greg Byrne

40DD wouldn't hurt. Jus' sayin

Hunter Biden

An unconventional pick, but it would elevate Sharp in some circles.

Louisville or TCU AD

What stands out as a success of his? Retaining Drew?

Feels like both have been largely mediocre outside of football. UL basketball is in the gutter - at least their baseball is solid

I withdraw my name from consideration.
Respect my decision.

Saban

I'm removing my name from consideration

Does jimmy sexton represent AD's ?

Reed-Francois is very intriguing. Then again, maybe not a good thing. The bulk of her background is the west coast which we as an institution have not had success with when hiring people from that area. West coast connections don't work at TAMU unless you are trying to replicate UCLA, Washington, UNLV, ZONA, etc. Maybe, but we aren't that. She would work in Austin but not here. Still, that would be intriguing.

Throw $$$ at the Bama AD. He's ready for a challenge..

Based on a number posts from the TexAgs experts, we could do a lot worse

I would not want Yurachek - most Hawg friends I have are furious that he did not fire Sam Pittman. They are all hoping a backroom transition plan is in place to fire Pittman and promote Petrino next season, but are furious it's not happening now and blame Yurachek.

Kolcutt would do very well here IMO.

As much as I would hate getting techs sloppy seconds. He would be a great hire.

Hocutt

Justin Moore

Deion?

Billy Liucci would have my vote

Lou Holtz

Whoever our new president wants. Often happens this way.

As long as he fires the DJ I'm happy

Why don't we make Jimbo do the job? we're paying him anyway

Saban fo AD

Friends with some heavy weight Mizzou donors who are impressed with Reed-Francois. Didn't expect it when she was hired. Still don't think it would be a fit with Ags but who knows. Happy to Bjork go personally.
