PiPress: Gophers AD job interests Jeff Diamond

[BleedGopher]

As for replacing Maturi as Gophers AD, Diamond said: "That would be interesting to hear more about, I would say. I'm enjoying the consulting and media work I'm doing now, but if there was a possibility to do something back in the sports management field, I would certainly look at it."

Go Gophers!!

"Diamond, 58, a business and sports consultant who also writes a pro football column for SI.com, has no experience as a collegiate administrator."

That quote makes me nervous. I don't mind thinking outside the box, but we can't afford to screw this up.

Perhaps he can recreate the success of the Vikings. Denny Green as a package deal!

But does he understand the stock market?

 

[BHgrappler]

Simple, no!

Jeff's claim to fame was giving max contracts to players Denny Green drafted and developed. Doesn't take much brilliance to do that.
