Day 78 in the Search for an Athletic Director at the University of Oregon

Bill Moos only has about a month and a half till his contract runs out on March 31, 2007 as Athletic Director under the almost 2 million dollar buyout paid for by Oregon Fans. There is an option to continue his active service after that date if necessary.

Greg Byrne one of the possible candidates to replace Bill Moos is also being looked at to replace the Athletic Director at Mississippi State who received a one year extension of his contract so that the school could look for a replacement. Greg is now head of the fundraising effort for the Mississippi State Athletic Department. Over on the Mississippi State fan forum Dawgs'Bite.com Greg is discussed as a possible replacement. Some Mississippi State fans see the same qualities in him I observed when he worked for the Ducks here in Oregon.I hope the Ducks get him first. For the record, I have NO information that Greg is interested in either job but as I said before in my post below the Ducks should be interested in him.
