Hartwell resigned from Utah State

[AUINSY 2,228]

Anyone notice that Hartwell resigned from Utah State? Looks like he wasn't the right guy for the Auburn job after all.

Quote

Utah State athletics director John Hartwell has resigned from his position, the university announced Tuesday afternoon. In a statement, Hartwell said his departure comes after 25 years in the athletics business, and it’s now time that he prioritizes his family.

“After 25 years in the business, my wife and I have agreed that our family, including Heather’s aging parents in Arkansas, need to be our number one priority,” Hartwell said. “We need to be there for them and for our beautiful daughters. This is the time.”

Hmmm, that may explain our sudden change in direction.

I don’t blame him for getting out of Logan, UT.  Absolutely beautiful place, but a long way from home in more ways than one.

Thanks @aubiefifty, I didn’t realize that. I do remember there being a bunch of drama as to why Roberts didn’t select Hartwell as AD. It seems like this is the answer.

Hopefully he volunteers to suit up for Auburn on a part time basis. Can’t have enough ADs

I think there's been so much news in the past 48-72 hours it's been hard for us all to keep up! I'll take that problem any day over the first miserable portion of this season

No doubt, after reading it, admittedly I believed it myself.
