Well, it's not funny. Just found out form a perfect source that he's a legitimate candidate who is interested and is being considered.

Perhaps I shouldn't have used the words "legitimate candidate" and "being considered" because frankly I am not Girod nor am I on the committee so that part is/was hearsay.
What's 100% NOT hearsay is that Danny is interested. I'm a bit surprised too.

Fine, make him Associate AD.

What role can Nick Reid play? Gabe Toomey?

I love D-Man as much as the next person but him as an AD is TERRIFYING.

If it's about raising money, how can you not hire the guy named Banks?

You want money? Gabe Toomey will scare the shit out of you enough to get you to pay whatever he wants. Dude was a psycho.

Side note. In all honestly, I love that Wayne Simien is a part of the board to hire the AD.
