Rob Konrad makes his pitch to be the next AD

[tep624]

Good lord. Is he OK? And the jock-sniffers who keep encouraging him...will he order them to storm the Dome so the BoT can't certify the election of the new AD?

He’s not ok. He sent me vulgar dm’s on Twitter a few years back because I commented on a 44 post saying had it been retired after Floyd that RK wouldn’t even have been able to wear the number (because he’s a proponent of keeping it retired for self serving purposes).

I mean why would you even care what some random Syracuse fan thinks about anything let alone something as benign as that and then send vulgar DM’s at 3am on a Wednesday night? Guy is a mess.

 

[tep624]

Since he's an alumni he's probably on the shortlist

Shortbus maybe.

 

[tep624]

What I would love to know is does he think he has a chance?

If he legitimately has a chance then….

 

[CA Monk]

My non-sequitur take:
Could it be RK is infatuated with Dionne Warwick. BDS...Bacharach Derangement Syndrome.

Konrad vs Weitsman in a steel cage match...winner gets AD

I cant think of a better AD. Checks every box

I’m rather disgusted anyone would give Rob a platform for his nonsense

He literally thinks 44 was retired in part because of him. No joke.

If anyone wears 44 again, he loses his nitch of being the last to wear 44. He becomes lumped with Terry Richardson, Michael Owens and Glenn Moore

Yeah my thoughts are we bring it back. Should never have been retired in the first place.

 

[A Clockwork Orange]

Ah Yes, the guy who showed up to preseason camp freshman year with a literal Igloo cooler filled with weed. He should definitely be the next AD.

Our swim team will be top notch

1/1,000,000.

Well see now you're making me reconsider.

He's got less than 4000 followers on Twitter.
I don't think this is going to move the needle outside of 'No Way in Hell' territory.

He's also been on the board of one of SU's schools. People have seen him in action.

(No further comment, your honor.)

Dan's a nice guy... but I wouldn't consider him having a platform more than anyone else with a twitter.

That is incredibly specific.

I have nothing against Rob Konrad and actually respect him as our former RB and #44. If he wishes to be our next AD then where his his experience in working in college athletics?

This thread is taking up valuable cyberspace better used for cat videos.

I don’t see where Konrad wants to be the next AD. He simply wants SU to make a wise decision and he’s not sure the selection committee has the background to pull it off. I watched the hour-long interview with DT. Konrad is a bright guy regardless of what some think of him. He has a deep passion.for the university. He’s hopeful Nick Carparelli gets a long look from the committee. He’s also high on Reggie Terry, although he doesn’t think he has the business background. He also brought up the Boise St. AD. But the key here, as he emphasized, is to select an AD whose forward thinking with s strategic business resume. Failure to do so will hurt Syracuse and likely lead to the athletic program being left out of the upper tier of college athletics when restructuring occurs in five years or so. We need a 5 star hire.

From his tweet in the OP:

If they want someone to top grade executive leadership and maximize the resources of the University, someone who will responsibly develop an execute a strategic plan with passion and enthusiasm. Yeah you could sign me up. My company could wait for a couple years!
