He survived the first round of phone interviews yesterday, and will travel to Ft. Myers for an on-campus interview next month.

The other five candidates include FGCU interim AD Jo-Ann Nester, Maine AD Blake James, Kent State senior AD Robert Heller, former Butler AD John Parry, now the deputy commissioner of Indiana Bureau of Motor Vehicles, and Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis AD Michael Moore.

Any idea why he is leaving BU?

[Da Coach]

Could be multiple reasons. More $, He is from the east coast originally, where many of his family still live, a challenge to build a new program, a school that sees itself eventually with a big-time football program, nice weather, etc?

Apparently FGCU has a very very nice campus, and is at a great location, so it's not like it would be a bad place to live! Their college program is relatively new, and has the opportunity to really grow in the future as it is in Florida. I don't think anyone can blame Ken for looking at this opportunity. Hopefully Bradley will be able to find a great person to replace him if he does get the job!

Well, I think KK has been doing a great job and he seems like a very nice guy... So would love to keep him around, but he also needs to do what he needs to do, so I wish him well whatever he decides.

Let's hope for Ken's sake he gets the job. Good luck to him.

[SFP]

I wish him luck but I hope we are not waiting around. Ken has done a great job with the athletic department and I wish him the best. Who are we lining up to be our new AD? I would think that if you are looking for another job there must be something else happening on the other end. I hope JL gets to help in this decision and it is not left to the academia types alone.
