Now let me start off by saying I know almost nothing about him. Nor am I saying I am wanting him to be AD. But would he be a good fit for the position since he is a former coach and apparently most people want someone from the south. So would he be a good fit and is he qualified for the position?

He's never run an athletic department even at the high school level. This is equal to Kevin Kelley as head coach.

Good man but not AD material .
If the South should lose, it means that the history of the heroic struggle will be written by the enemy, that our youth will be trained by Northern school teachers, will be impressed by all of the influences of history and education to regard our gallant dead as traitors and our maimed veterans as fit subjects for derision.

I don't know his financial situation, but if he is comfy, he may want to watch his son's basketball tenure in a few years.

I believe Fitz is a good guy however it seems to me he pushes an agenda when it comes to in-state kids and also pushes "athletes" over position players. I've never believed the athlete myth. If you can play linebacker, you can play linebacker. Same with QB, DE, etc. Fitz is in the HDN school of recruiting "athletes" and choosing a position for them because they are "athletes" rather than good at an actual football position.
"DO NOT POST IN THE GAME THREAD ANYMORE TODAY OR YOU WILL RECIEVE A 30 BAN!"--

Multiple play-by-play posters followed by "Good job, D" and "Way to go, Offense" is so interesting to read over and over as the team gets blown out and the coaches flounder. I can't figure out why game threads don't have 60 to 80 pages now.

Am I the only one that misses the old, interesting game threads?

Has many agendas.

Wasn't he the president/athletic director of Arkansas Baptist College?

I'm not in favor of Fitz, but he was a D1 head coach

"Kevin Kelley"?

I would be okay with Fitz. He's not going to be coaching or recruiting. He's a good man and knows the state and the University as well as anyone. He did hold an administrative role at a JUCO or D2 (forget which) and could possibly use some help. But I think he'd be as good as Jeff Long in some aspects. Not as good in others. Tom Jurich is the best guy we could possibly hire.

I don't believe that Fitz has the experience as an administrator to take on a job of this magnitude. I would enjoy it though, simply because it would drive all the casual racists insane.
If Auburn is dirty so is Gus. You can't have it both ways. Deal with it.

Yes. And he ran it into the ground. A real embarrassment and failure.

Not a troll. Jurich was a really good AD. Petrino part was a joke. But Jurich did a fantastic job at UL. Pitino was dirty and Jurich was at fault for giving him too much of a leash. If I'm a troll for wishing the UA to get the best possible AD then yeah I guess so.........

When DR Hill took over as President of ABC it's enrollment was around 200 students and was  in danger of losing it's accreditation. By the time he stepped down the school had grown to over 1000 students, greatly increased it's revenue, and kept its accreditation.

That doesn't make him qualified to run the Athletic Department at a SEC school.

He is a former College football coach.

He is a former college administrator.

He has a Doctorate in school administration.

He's more than qualified.

People want Tommy T as our AD.

Fitz is exponentially more qualified than Tubberville.

If you seen Arkansas Baptist College prior to Fitz Hill the school looked more like a housing project than a place of higher learning. The college made tremendous strides under the leadership of Dr. Hill. The college internally and structurally is in a better place because of Dr. Hill.

Not to mention  a 1st Lt in the Army Reserves. Served in Desert Storm and won a Bronze Star and an Army Commendation Medal. Was a helluva good recruiter and wr coach. Was also a head coach, although not all that successful, at San Jose State.
