Looks like he found his dream job.

Good for him!

This surprises me, but good for him.

A lateral move at best.

;D ;D

Pretty surprised to see this today. Good for him, but really a blast fromt he (recent) past.

He tends to move around a lot--four years at Notre Dame, four years at Georgetown, three at Delaware. His record at Georgetown was mixed.

Stanford offers a great opportunity for build the kind of legacy that didn't happen at GU or Delaware.

I see you've been working on your backhand.

I haven't seen any chatter about this on any of the boards. I think it interesting that the vast majority of people on here absolutely slammed him when he left, but not a word when he lands what is quite possibly the absolute best Athletic Director job in the nation. I for one was sad to lose him, but am very happy for him and his family. In the short time he was on the Hilltop, I think Bernard did a fantastic job. I think this hiring shows that perhaps it wasn't the man who could't perform for the University...

All i will say is i HOPE that stanford knows what theyre getting into NUF SAID.. go hoyas

[Nevada Hoya]

Wow! Stanford regularly wins the Sears cup (or whatever it is called now). That is a lot of sports to keep track of. There has been some flux in their track program too.

I think Bernard at least explored making some positive changes though did not really get much done at the end of the day-he did not follow through on a couple of things that I had first hand knowledge. Saying that he did a fantastic job is a bit of an exaggeration. Getting the job at Stanford is a high achievement, though by itself, certainly does not indicate that it was all Gtwn's fault that he couldn't get things done.

It seems pretty clear that the current AD has a very limited decision making/policy role and appears to be more of a pure administrator(probably a conscious decision of Degioia.). WE'll probably have to wait for a new president to see any real change in the athletic front.

No backhand here. My point was that four years is too short to have a significant impact in that position. He arrived in July 05, out in April 09, or about the tenure of an undergraduate. Georgetown works on a longer pace.

An article from the Wilmington News Journal reviews his tenure there--a lot of parallels to his time at Georgetown.

Muir seemed to have big ideas that require a certain level of commitment -- one that exists at ND & Stanford.

Georgetown wants someone that will work within their mindset -- not try to change it for the better but accept the limitations and therefore accomplish much less but never rock the boat with reality.

Muir was never going to succeed here, and he's enough of a climber to know that he needed to leave quickly. That doesn't mean he won't be successful at Stanford -- a school with resources and a commitment level far exceeding GU's.
