USC hires Mike Bohn to replace Lynn Swann as AD

Looks like he's busy - https://www.latimes.com/sports/usc/story/2020-01-14/usc-athletic-officials-fired

"
When Mike Bohn was hired as the first outsider to lead USC athletics in decades, sweeping changes were expected inside a historically insular department recently racked by scandal.

Those changes at Heritage Hall have begun, according to multiple people familiar with the situation who were not authorized to speak publicly. Three of USC’s most senior officials in the athletic department are out, including Steve Lopes, the CFO and COO, who’d long been considered second in command.

Their removals stem in part from concerns over recent turmoil, including the “Varsity Blues” admissions scandal, The Times has learned. One department official, Donna Heinel, was indicted on federal bribery charges last year.

Ron Orr, a senior associate athletic director who led the Trojan Athletic Fund, is also out, along with associate athletic director Scott Jacobson, who also worked in development and fundraising.

Hope USC is ready for their “CU 2005-18” era. I certainly am
 
Helton has a better record and a conference championship as well. Just sayin.
I see your conference championship and call your bet - Barnett had one as well (remember 62-36 followed by 39-37 over UT in Dallas).
And while Helton may have the better record, Barnett has a couple more division titles to his credit than Helton. Granted vs. a down B12 North, but still titles.

Hence why I said “as well”. You think I’m not aware of Barnett’s conference championship?

I think the gist of Miami’s argument is that Bohn will fire a moderately successful coach who is on a downhill trajectory, and send the trajectory off a cliff.

It's like in your guys' memory GB never coached at another school in a P5 conference.

He's one of only about 5 or 6 coaches to have won conference championships in two different P5 conferences.

He might be the only CU head coach with head coaching experience in the Rose Bowl. (There's an assignment for Plati)

He is in bad health?
 
"Concerns were raised about Bohn’s conduct at Cincinnati, where he worked before he was hired by USC.

Former Cincinnati head athletic trainer Robb Williams told The Times that he saw Bohn make unwanted physical contact with women on several occasions, including touching their shoulders or backs in a way that made them visibly uncomfortable.

Bohn did not respond to questions about Williams.

Kim McGraw, who served as director of business affairs within Cincinnati athletics from 2009 to 2019, said she saw Bohn make unwanted physical contact with women, including squeezing their shoulders and putting his arm around them. She said the interactions she witnessed made “her skin crawl” and made the women visibly uncomfortable.

Bohn did not immediately respond to questions about McGraw.
Mike Bohn speaks at a news conference after being introduced as Cincinnati's athletic director in February 2014.

Two Cincinnati athletic department employees said they heard Bohn regularly comment on a lesbian colleague’s sexual orientation.

Often, McGraw said, Bohn wasn’t present in the department at all. She said she communicated that concern to Cincinnati’s Office of the Controller months before Bohn’s departure.

By that point, she’d already shared her account of what she believed to be inequitable treatment from Bohn with a Title IX officer. Among the issues she shared was her belief Bohn treated her inequitably in offering larger percentage pay raises to two men she worked with, when the three had split a departing supervisor’s responsibilities equally among them.

McGraw said she confronted Bohn in February 2017 and later shared her account with a Title IX officer, but said she opted not to file a formal complaint. She said she retired from the department in 2019, two years earlier than she’d originally planned.

She was one of five women who interacted with Bohn at Cincinnati who told The Times he created a workplace that was hostile, anxious and toxic for women.

At Cincinnati, staffers were stunned he managed to make his way west.

“We all felt as a staff he’d eventually be gone,” Williams said. “We had no idea he’d end up at USC.”

It's a rule of evolution, that young women almost always find older men unattractive, even repugnant. We need the fittest offspring possible.
The love of money/power sometimes overcomes the distaste, at least temporarily.
Many men have trouble realizing this, and think that because they were 'hunks' at 20, they still are at 40, 50, 60. For powerful republicans (trump, guliani, et. al.) they believe they are studs until they die

Good luck Mike.

Especially if they are in their 50s and look it. ****, even handsome guys fall off. Unless I am back in good shape and well groomed, I look really rough.
