Call it the first hire of the rest of his career.

No matter, here’s betting University of Toledo president Gregory Postel nailed it with the appointment of Bryan Blair as the school’s new athletic director.
Count us impressed.
Like any university leader, Postel knows there are no guarantees.
In his previous post at Louisville — where he served as interim president in 2017 and 2018 — he made two high-profile athletics hires, both of whom he introduced in platitude and pomp-filled ceremonies very much like the one on Thursday at Savage Arena to welcome Blair.
