alexava 6,973 Posted January 18, 2018 Share Posted January 18, 2018 Don’t know this guy or have a clue at how he will perform. I am stoked at the prospect of not hearing people constantly piss and moan about JJ anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like others have mentioned, at least he's an outsider that shouldn't be appeasing the good ole boys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GwillMac6 20,607 Posted January 18, 2018 Share Posted January 18, 2018 Auburn has tabbed Buffalo's Allen Greene as its new athletic director, a person with knowledge of the situation told USA TODAY Sports. The person spoke on the condition of anonymity because the school had not formalized the hire and it needs to be approved by the school's board of trustees. Auburn's Rivals.com affiliate first reported that Green had emerged as the favorite for the job. Greene, 41, is a bold hire for Auburn. He does not have a long list of accomplishments as an athletic director, having gotten the job at Buffalo a little more than two years ago when his predecessor Danny White left for Central Florida. But Greene, a former baseball player at Notre Dame who went on to play in the New York Yankees' minor-league system, is considered one of the top up-and-coming administrators in college athletics. He will be the third African-American athletic director in SEC history, following Damon Evans, formerly of Georgia, and David Williams at Vanderbilt. He'll be the first hired from outside the institution, as both Evans and Williams were already working at their respective schools before being elevated to athletic director. Greene will replace Jay Jacobs, a former Auburn football player who held the post for nearly 13 years but stepped down under pressure in November.

CameronCrazy 1,058 Posted January 18, 2018 Share Posted January 18, 2018 This hire gives me hope. Auburn finally decided to take a different path than the same old path they’ve always taken. I’m underwhelmed that he only had 2 years of experience and it came from a small school like Buffalo. I agree with WDE’s comments that Auburn should never be a place for on-the-job-training. He’s young and well-spoken of, so here’s to hoping that he’s ready for this opportunity. I hope he crushes it at Auburn! War Eagle, Allen Greene!

I am glad he understands how important a good athletic department is for the betterment of the University and only helps. He saw that first hand with Iowa St basketball. Gogue just was not interested at all and wanted nothing to do with our sports programs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
