Oh. I thought for some reason I had read that to be the case. No worries. Best of luck to him.
One name and only one names needs to be mentioned as a replacement: KEITH MOREHOUSE!
GET IT DONE HAMMY.
GET IT DONE HAMMY.
He's an institution, he's done all those jobs for 30+ years locally. He's got a passion that nobody else has for Marshall as well as Huntington. He wont bolt for a better gig out of state in a few years. Not sure if he'd leave TV, but maybe he's looking for a new challenge at this stage of his career? Worth a shot if you ask me.
I'd like for us to hire a marketing guy with many years of experience. I think it would be worthwhile. Sometimes I feel the MU staff get in that fishbowl mentality of how they view things. Never hurts to have an outsider come in with new ideas.
I graduated with Aaron. He's a good man and true son of marshall. I am sure this was a difficult decision. Good luck Aaron! You will be missed!
Aaron has been on staff for 14 years. I don't know how the job is structured, and I don't know what it pays. Both will be key in who we are able to hire....
The AD is already stretched pretty thin. There’s basically no chance they’ll consolidate jobs.
As others have stated, Marshall needs to go out and find someone that will be proactive about their job. BTW, this is in no way a shot at Aaron or anyone else. He’s done great things for the university and will be sorely missed.
Terrific...
Except I want someone who won't stick to local stuff...go big and go beyond WV.
Not doubting anything you're saying but maybe MU should expand outside of Huntington and get someone to market MU to other areas of the country.
Everyone complains about how MU 'never expands' and 'is losing the war with wvu over the state.'
An opportunity to get someone from the outside from a successful career to put MU on the map and whats the first thing thats said?
'Lets get a local guy!'
