The active pool being considered to replace Athletic Director Skip Bertman shifted from six to eight candidates Friday afternoon.
Jack Weiss, Search Committee chairperson and Paul M. Hebert Law Center chancellor, announced just before the search committee’s meeting that Liberty University Athletic Director Jeff Barber and San Jose State Athletic Director Tom Bowen wished to remove their names from consideration for the position.
Moments into the meeting, committee member Collis Temple Jr. moved to have four new candidates – Florida Atlantic Athletic Director Craig Angelos, LSU Senior Associate Athletic Directors Mark Ewing and Herb Vincent, and former University of Central Florida Deputy Athletic Director William Weidner – be placed in the active pool of candidates.
The seven members present unanimously voted in favor of the motion.
