Looks like Cobb has been looking for another job for several years now.

RE: AJC: Georgia State’s new AD could be named by next week
This is a great job from Cobb's perspective. Actually similar to the App job when he took over.

A job in which his predecessor was incompetent and can make easy chances that will make the alumni like him.

He will come in and improve communication to alumni and improve the tailgating environment. Use his connections to get a good OOC schedule, NCSU to ATL by 2017. Then he will focus on facilities as they need work.

Perfect job for any AD really.

If he gets it I will request box seats from him when App visits.

I think App has seen it and I know Ga. Southern has certainly seen it--- the right AD can do wonders for the school and the wrong AD can set a school back many years.

We can attest to the wrong AD.

RE: AJC: Georgia State’s new AD could be named by next week
I agree with a lot that had been said regarding Cobb. He took a lot of flack for the Jerry Moore situation, but he was in the right. He put his foot down and made that decision. He also has managed 20 varsity sports without cutting a single one, although wrestling reportedly was close a few years ago, but not anymore.

The Buzz fiasco and hiring of Capel are his two big black marks. However he has made many more quality hires than bad ones. Satterfield is TBD.

Another bad thing is that Cobb isn't the most personable guy. He's not cold, but not as warm as many AD's tend to be.

Anyone who thinks Cobb is a bad AD needs to look at App State in 2004 compared to now. Some could say any competent AD could have done what he did, but he did it and no one can take that away from him.

Southern Miss wanted to hire Cobb to slash their budget as they mismanaged their finances for years. The guy they hired slashed the budget for a year and was fired as the fall guy.

And yes, Cobb has been window shopping for about 5-6 years now.

We had the male version of Levick.

We have had a succession of them. Levick was just the cherry on a crap cake.

I do wonder if Cobb is wanting to get out of Dodge because he doesn't see eye-to-eye with App's new chancellor? Does the State job really pay so much more than the App job that it would be worth moving from Boone to Atlanta?

You cannot underestimate the importance of a president/chancellor who is supportive of athletics. A good AD isn't much use if your president doesn't back you up.

Becker WANTS Turner Field. He wants that to be his mark on the university. So the new AD would have an eager president for that expansion.

The wild card is the SEC guy. I don't see an assistant AD leaving an SEC school for job that isn't an SEC AD spot, unless it is a lower tier program. But if it is... a Kentucky or Mississippi State assistant AD wouldn't be of interest. This one kind of throws me for a loop.

17 years of telling the GS faithful of what we cant do for the most part. His mantra was always "give blindly" but could never formulate a plan or vision like we have seen lately. Definitely an aim low type guy when setting goals and building facilities. He had the keys to a hot rod program that was ready to take off and refused to shift out of first gear in a state completely and utterly underserved of Div I-A football. He maintained at best what the previous leaders built with minimal growth compared to peer institutions and especially when you compare what was happening at the school, surrounding region and state in general. A luxury the previous AD did not have yet still built a I-AA powerhouse. Without Erk getting PJ hired over Kevin Steele I doubt he would have the little support he still has (cue GS95 or whatever his screen name is today). Oh what could have been with a TK and Keel over Baker and Grube.

Likely pays more and have heard Cobb is more of a city guy. But also everyone involved right now with city, GSU and Turner Field is thinking legacy. It definitely is legacy building for President Becker and Mayor Reed. For the next AD it could be their last job where they ride off into the sunset Terry Holland-like or it could be the launching pad to a P5 job. It is not going to be the typical G5, manage the factory daily, Athletic Director job at least for the next 5 to 6 years. Whoever gets the job is going to be in front of city, county and state officials, neighborhood representatives and some of the largest development companies and architectural firms in the country on a daily basis. They are going to have fire in the belly to take on a huge challenge.

I honestly believe that if the stars had not aligned, so to speak, with the Braves leaving, the Falcons building a new stadium and Master Plan to knock down Kell Hall to open up the campus that Levick would still be at 125 Decatur Street feasting on student fees. But it all came together at the correct time thankfully.

Sounds like Baker and Levick should get together and go bowling.

Definitely would have to be planned for them. Knowing Levick she would have them rent out the largest venue in the state and invite 4 people to make it exclusive.

Sounds like State has a good group of guys on tap. Anyone should be better than the warm body that was running that department previously. If the new AD can seal the turner field job yall will be a lot better off than you have been the past 5 years.

You cannot underestimate the importance of a president/chancellor who is supportive of athletics. A good AD isn't much use if your president doesn't back you up.

The new chancellor has only been on the job a little over 30 days. Is that long enough to not see eye to eye with Dr Everts? Who knows. Cobb has 2 years left on his contract and App doesn't have the $'s to buy him out, so he's secure for the time being. IMO, Charlie thought he'd come to Boone, make a big splash and move up the ladder. The first four years went exactly according to script, but a few things happened to slow the process down. Some people attribute the success at App more to Coach Moore, but they don't realize the behind the scenes changes Charlie made that enabled Jerry to be successful. To say Cobb had nothing to do with our success is not being truthful.
