So if you've been around the Twitter-verse this morning, you've likely seen this nugget by Brett McMurphy from ESPN...
Well that was quick, eh? Of course if you've followed sports for any length of time, you know that rumors are part of the game. Obviously there's some questions here. Namely, do we REALLY want Miami's ex-AD as OUR next AD? Why him? Why now? Why don't they make another Superman movie? I'll attempt to answer a few of those questions for you, my dear blog reader.
QUESTION #1:Who the hell is this guy anyways?!
Well, first of all, here's his bio courtesy of the University of Miami: Mr. Shawn Eichorst
If you read the bio, you know that he worked under Barry Alvarez at Wisconsin. So you can bet that's how Eichorst's name entered into the conversation. I'd bet lots of dollars that Barry made a call to both Harvey and TO and said something to the effect of: "Hey guys. There's this FANTASTIC young, bright, go-getter down at the U of M and I really, really think you need to take a look at him!"
So those of you that may be initially uncomfortable with this (he's not hired yet, by the way) your fears may be assuaged somewhat because he has Barry Alvarez vouching for him. That's always a good man to have in your corner.
QUESTION #2:But, but Mister Mik
