Yes, I am.  Just going along with the DJ jokes that were posted this season. As for CCS, I have no idea if he would want a dual role.  He seems to be a coach to me.

College ADs are like deans and department heads...they come and go....I find it amazing that Judy has stayed as long as she has.

Judy, the Muma's and whoever else is involved in these type hirings better open up that bottom drawer with the short list on it - just in case.

I can't say anything "Great" that Harlan has done while here.  

Stan Heath was fired the same week he was hired. It is hard to say what input if any, Harlan had on that move.

He hired Steve Masiello without seeing if he had a degree. Then turned around and hired Orlando Antigua. Neither coach has had much success since then. I don't know all the ins and outs as to why the Antigua thing didn't work out but hiring anyone named Orlando for the USF job is bad juju.

He undercut Taggart in the whole Ybor/Gonzmart thing.

Not saying Harlan hasn't seen some success while he has been here (mostly Tennis, Golf and Soccer) but to me, it just seems like he has a nice cushy job, much like Doug Woolard before him.

I think this is a pretty decent summary of his tenure here, at least in the public view.  He seems like a nice guy, as I've met him twice and I'm sure he's a pretty good salesman, but he really hasn't done a whole lot here, other than the above, and doing a little cleanup on athletics communications, seemingly. 

I would think it shouldn't be hard to get a talented AD, or an up and coming one with some great fundraising ideas, in the event he goes to AZ or somewhere else.

They offered the job to DJ and he said it wasn't challenging enough
