Working in conference administration is different than being in a school's athletic department.  Not the same [although this is more relevant vis a vis our vacancy than his later work for UA, IMO].

Interfacing with college athletic departments is not the same as coordinating the operations of an athletic department.

The duties he had jurisdictional responsibility for as an assistant director of football operations--grades, study hall, travel arrangements, sports camps, practice schedules, interaction between players and coaches--have very little overlap with what an athletic department does, other than at the governance level.

I'm really not sure what part of this you don't understand.  His job responsibilities and roles, to date, have not included--you know--actually working in a collegiate athletic department, let alone at a P5 level institution.

That doesn't mean that he couldn't learn this stuff.  But today, based upon his experience, he probably isn't the most qualified candidate because his experience doesn't actually involve working in an athletic department at the college level.  This isn't an entry level job where somebody has the capacity to learn on-the-job.
