I guess if that's the criteria, whatever. Long has been a disaster here in several ways.

KU AD just isn't that great of a job.

I'm not sure it's a bottom-half job. 1/3 of it runs itself. 1/3 of it has an incredibly low bar. No one gives a shit about the other 1/3.

Right now the job security is completely tied to the 1/3rd that most fans don't give a shit about.

You basically get 2 hires to make 1 good one and the pool of candidates is as slim as it gets.

Maybe we're just not aligned on what a good job is, then. You get a ton of money for at least five cushy years, and a resume line that ensures you can be a small-school AD or Power 5 assistant AD afterwards.

Yeah I'm ranking relative to the other AD jobs that would seemingly be on par.

Just not a lot of comfort and security when you're tied to dead weight. Zenger is at the University of New Haven and the previous 2 never got back into athletics. It's just a risk that a sitting AD isn't likely going to take.

Slightly better than being an assistant LB coach for Free State.

To be fair, he was getting paid by KU the year he coached at LFS and his son was a senior on the team.

His pizza restaurant sales also took a hit around that time.

It's not in New Haven, it's in West Haven.

Long is viewed as really bad, right? I don’t follow closely. I know Judy thinks he the devil, but she never really goes into why, and I don’t search out news on it.
