Tomey (Former AZ Head Coach) joining USF as Associate AD

[SANJAY]

Former Arizona football coach **** Tomey, a longtime mentor of current USF athletic director Mark Harlan, is joining the Bulls program as an associate athletic director for sports administration.

A 76-year-old grandfather of eight, Tomey most recently had been special teams coach at Hawaii. When he begins on Feb. 20, he'll have administrative oversight of USF's football program, according to a school news release.

“Dick has a tireless passion for intercollegiate athletics and I am confident that his expertise will not only assist our football program, but our entire department," said Harlan, who grew up with Tomey's son in a southern California neighborhood and later worked for Tomey at UA.

"**** will partner with me, Coach (Willie) Taggart, our football staff and all of our administrators to help us move forward."

I take it the first name is short for Richard since the software is blocking it out.

Also his first name **** is banned, so I'll just note that its a derivation of Richard.

Very interesting. While Harlan is a basketball specialist with some football experience of his own, I get the impression he wants someone who can evaluate a coaching job on his own merits. Not to mention a guy like Tomey will be valuable with his contacts and ability to evaluate should USF need to make a new hire next year. That said, I get the impression this is probably a 1-2 year gig at most for that very reason. Tomey isn't returning to coaching, he's 76.

Yes. Bringing in someeone with real experience to be involved with the program. Clearly it's bowl or bust.

Clearly, Harlan feels that Taggart needs a 76 year old mentor and baby sitter.  How much is Taggart costing us now?

 

 

P.S. It's almost akin to providing a scholarship for a recruit's personal tutor because said recruit isn't capable of the college class work without him.

Wrong locamotive breath, as an alumnus and donor, he absolutely is costing the collective us.  Now run along and pick a fight with someone you think you can intimidate.
