Beth Goetz did fabulous job as Gophers' interim AD

Couldn't resist... Interim AD Beth Goetz arrived from Butler two years ago

>>So just who is Goetz? “A rock star,’’ said Brad Stevens, the Boston Celtics coach who praised Goetz’s leadership skills from their years together at Butler when he was the men’s basketball coach there.<<

Oh no! Not another rock star! Maybe they will put her in charge of monitoring.

In reality, we now have three people who have been athletic directors, all three with B1G ties, all three highly respected by the places they came from. This is a very, very good thing.

There's no plan from what I can see.

That's the point everyone, except Mr. Muntz, is trying to make. Fans and Twitterites not being privvy to the details of a plan does not mean there isn't one. Often times, it is just the opposite.

It's not meant for your eyes.

Today's announcement was huge for the UConn Family! Beth Goetz is amazing! #BleedBlue @UConnHuskies#UConnNation Can't wait for her to start

She sounds like an excellent addition. I just wish Stephens had t called her a rock star after the Warde "the Monitor" Manuel.

Is this a new position ? If not, did some one get bounced ? Hope D.B. knows that this is not Auburn with it's budget I think of 135 M per year.

Is this a new position ? If not, did some one get bounced ?

From the Courant article above: "Goetz, 41, replaces Deborah Corum, who left in April for a similar position at Southern Utah."

I've had the pleasure meeting and socializing with Brad Stevens several times. I'm going to trust that this is a very good hire for UCONN.

I love the emphasis that the AD is putting on football

I have been thinking about this since Benedict was hired...maybe it's time the UConn fanbase starts a petition to send to Benedict and IMG to either lessen Joe D's role to one sport...or even replace him all together as the voice of UConn sports. It is kind of ironic he is pair with Gresh on that show...they both have HUGE Ego's, are EXTREMELY pompous and arrogant as hell.
