He seems qualified and hungry to prove himself on the national stage. He's young, charismatic and shows more passion for the job than our previous ADs. I think it's a good fit.
He hired Leipold, Frost, & Heupel. Great track record for a younger AD.
The fact the coaching search landed on Heupel and seemed to consider Leipold isnt really surprising. I think both are acceptable coaches given our current situation. Makes sense he goes with the younger guy. Personally think it would have been fun to see Leipold in the SEC, though I think he would have probably wanted to retain most of his previous staff -- something that would not bode well for recruiting in the SEC.
Good thing for him is that our previous ADs have been so tremendously incompetent that he probably won't receive any criticism until at least Y3. After that, gloves come off. There are some clauses in the contract that show White looking out for his buddy Heupel. That could come to bite him in the butt if Heupel ends up falling on his face in conference and Vol fans force him out Y3.
