I think recruiting a new AD to Cal might be more difficult than a basketball coach. Being AD at Alabama, Texas A&M, Ohio St, etc must be a dream job. The leadership, administration, faculty, alumni and students are all 100% dialed in on the (over) importance of the athletics program. Coming to Cal, you know every day will be a battle, with only snippets of support here & there. Other schools know how tough the job is at Cal, Penn St hired Sandy Barbour after she was fired! Someone who's really good fails at Cal and is considered a wild success at an athletics-positive university. See the problem?
Sandy's crimes were less than Knowlton's and she actually presided over a ton of success (hired Monty and kept Tedford happy and well resourced) unlike Knowlton. She whiffed on Sonny (although he's making a case that "it's not me, it's you") and she got hit with poor luck/timing regarding the stadium project (I give her a pass). Even Knowlton's gold-flaked wraparound porch is starting to burn (McKeever).
They'll be fine when Durant gets back. I trust Milwaukee and Boston more obviously, but I trust the Nets more than the Sixers, for instance, regardless of the disparity in seeding.

Would Sean Marks come on board? All meetings would be at Henry's.
He might have taken our bait a couple of months back, but the Nets are back from the dead.
well about the Nets.......
Whoah, never mind! Just checked in at ESPN.
Who has Sean Marks on speed dial?
