Congratulations to Mark Coyle, mystery candidate. Yesterday afternoon it became clear from media reports that Minnesota's AD search was nearing it's end. Multiple sources listed Beth Goetz, Phil Esten, and Sean Frazier as potential picks, with Joe C also mentioning that his sources said a "undisclosed" candidate was under consideration as well. Undisclosed candidate indeed!
The super quick reactions seem to be positive:
I don't know Mark Coyle but a person I highly respect and trust who knows him called me just now and raved about him. Calls it a great hire
