So Randy Eaton, the Maryland athletic department’s senior associate athletics director and chief financial officer, has been named the interim athletic director. Here’s the part where I pretend like I know all about him….ohh, yeeaaaahh, Randy Eaton! Sure, Randy Eaton, of course, yes. Good man, good man. A steady hand on the old wheel Mr. Eaton will surely be. Plus his background in gobbledygook will really serve the department well when it comes to executing their woozah-wuzzle.
But seriously, his title and his two decades of experience seem to make him a fine choice to shepherd the department through this, the offseason of our discontent (or content, rather, if you didn’t like Debbie). A tip of the cap and best wishes to Mr. Eaton.
Meanwhile, the search committee for Debbie Yow’s permanent replacement has been announced. Notables include Gary Williams, Len Elmore, men’s soccer coach Sasho Cirovski, Under Armour CEO Kevin Plank, field hockey coach Missy Meharg, and Criminology and Criminal Justice Professor Charles Wellford. Would have been nice to see someone on there directly affiliated with the football team, but still, that’s a murderer’s row right thur, boy. You pitch around Missy Meharg, and there’s Charles Wellford staring you in the face. What can you do with that? Nothing. I think theyr’e gonna hit it out of the park. By the way, their timeframe for doing so, according to the Post, is three to four months.
