Skip is my best guess.

Skip would not be allowed to hire his own replacement. That would have been done by the Chancellor and the Board (as it has been done in previous years). It's a good thing too as we may have gotten someone even worse than JA. Remember, Skip was not a very good AD.....he ran off our track coach and our women's BB coach; both who were world class. Truth be known, Skip was very jealous of other coaches' success while he was baseball coach (especially Pat Henry).
