FSU just fired AD Michael Alford. Do we see him as a possible candidate for AD position? He’s an Acadiana high school graduate and has time spent with Dallas Cowboys, Alabama, Oklahoma, Central Michigan, and FSU. Timing seems right.

What’s his ability to raise $$

The Dallas Cowboys, Bama, OU and FL St raise money by name. We don’t.

Did he sign Mike norvell to his current contract? If so, hell no. Jordan Travis saved that man’s career.

You mean after Norvell went undefeated and was screwed out of the CFP because of an injury?

Like I said Jordan Travis saved that man’s career. There’s no reason that guy should be getting paid almost $10 million a year. It was a ridiculous contract based on the success of the QB. 23-4 with him, 16-31 wirhout
