Washington State’s next athletic director will be someone of integrity, who has experience running an athletic department and who’s a proven fundraiser.
Those were the qualities WSU President Kirk Schulz highlighted during a news conference held Tuesday to introduce John Johnson as WSU’s interim athletic director.
In fielding questions from the media, Schulz stressed that experience was of significant importance in WSU’s search for a new athletic director to replace Bill Moos, who was just hired at Nebraska.
“I don’t think this is the type of athletic director job where we need somebody who’s going to learn on the fly,” Schulz said.
