USC athletic director search: Potential candidate has 'no interest'
Former USC athletic director Mike Bohn unexpectedly resigned last month after a "thorough review of the athletics department."
The review uncovered "concerns" about Bohn, per the Los Angeles Times, which prompted his resignation. Those concerns included Bohn "making inappropriate comments about the physical appearance of female colleagues, including remarks about their dress, hair and weight, that staff members said made them feel uncomfortable."
One name who has come out as a potential candidate to replace Bohn is University of Texas athletic director Chris Del Conte. But according to a tweet from Austin American-Statesman sports columnist Kirk Bohls, Del Conte isn't interested in taking a new job:
"Texas AD Chris Del Conte's name has come up as a potential candidate for the USC job, but he says, "I have no interest in any other job. Who you work for matters. I work for an incredible president who is taking Texas to new heights. I'm blessed to be here."
USC can cross Del Conte's name off the list.
Here are nine other candidates who the Trojans administration could pursue:
- Ross Bjork - Texas A&M Athletic Director
- Pat Chun - Washington State Athletic Director
- Jen Cohen - University of Washington Athletic Director
- Rick George - Colorado Athletic Director
- Mark Jackson - Villanova Athletic Director
- Heather Lyke - Pittsburgh Athletic Director
- Mack Rhoades - Baylor Athletic Director
- Brandon Sosna - Senior Director of Football Administration for the Detroit Lions
- Ed Stewart - USC Executive Senior Associate Athletic Director
