Blue Gold Sports says Oliver Luck

I originally thought they would wait til after we play WVU to announce, but if he's already formally agreed, I don't see how they'll wait a month to move forward.

 
I'll believe it when someone other than a WVU site reports it.

 
All indications right now, as we've been saying for weeks is Oliver Luck is your next AD. The announcement "could" come as early as this week.

 
In reality, he has done all he can here in getting the boosters and facilities on par.

Interesting to see the coaching search take shape.

 
Still "meh" about this hire. (But I want to be excited!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)

Love his business resume and progressiveness.

Not sold on his ability to evaluate coaches and hold them accountable. (And please stop saying that he was at WVU so you can 'only do so much there' because that's a built in excuse.)

 
I'm registered and still can't view any thread over there.

Won't be able to become official until November when the Board of Regents meets if this is true.

 
Actually it isn't an excuse. WVU isn't Texas and doesn't have the money or resources. You would be surprised the work he had to do when he got here.

Please give me something. (that's not a sarcastic please; that's a "I really am interesting in knowing more" please.)

I'm 50% excited about him. It's the other 50% that makes me "meh."

But anyone, really, is an upgrade over what we have now.

I think he is clearly an upgrade over what we have now, huge upgrade. He has a lot of positives but the couple of hires at WV havent been home runs so there are questions about his coach hiring abilities. Deloss, can make $ but can NOT run a program, at least not lately.

Good points again. But, how easy can it be to get top level coaches to come to West Virginia? It's not exactly a hot bed of success in any of the major sports.
