For those who missed the interview, here is the link to ESPN760 audio vault for FAU.

ESPN West Palm - Audio Vault - FAU On Demand

Very confindent, has a great plan for the success for our teams, and the University. Wants to work with the community and beyond, hit up the alumni and boosters. I think we have a winner ladies and gentlemen.

Love the comments at the end of the video on 760ESPN.  First impressions are everything and he blew them away!  FAU is in good hands from here!  Great hire by MJS.

OWL NATION became much stronger today!

GO OWLS!

This appears to be his facilities resume and it's awesome, especially the Boathouse.

It's exciting that he could make this happen for them and the possibility of what he might do for us. We're obviously deficient in a number of places and I know Administration isn't happy the stadium doesn't have naming rights done yet, but if we got $10M today I'd rather it go to a new baseball stadium.

You never know with the right man in charge..there is PLENTY of money down here, it's a matter of finding what that money wants to see. Who says the Ivy League is the only place for collegiate sailing? I say we get in the mix!

And don't be so sure about the naming rights…could be with a hire like this, someone will recognize the potential quick ascent and jump in while the stock price is fairly low. I have heard they are dating someone now, so we'll see how this new hire shakes that up.

This guy is also making a huge commitment to FAU by moving his family down here.

ROLL OWLS

Great hire. The Ohio state brethren speak very highly of him.  I look forward to meeting him.

This is a great day for FAU IMO!!!

I expect on August 6th, he will be hitting the ground running looking to hit up the boosters, alumni, and start making contacts for possible naming rights. What ever the plan is, I have a feeling he will get it done. Until then, enjoy the time with your family Pat, and we look forward to seeing you around the campus.

I think he has already hit the ground running. 

Very true.
