Why would they fire the AD with all the success they're having?

Hopefully because of an ongoing NCAA investigation that's been kept quiet. We can only hope.

Didn't Byrne used to be the AD for A&M?

After looking, nope. He is the son of the former A&M AD

Saban doesn't like Battle. That's why he nearly went to Texas 3 years ago

Byrne is a great AD. I was hoping USC would hire him when Haden got pushed out

Really liked him at state. He got rid of the good ole boy crap inside our athletic department that had riddled us for decades.

Almost positive he is resigning. Health issues.

How is the guy that hired Rich Rod, who is currently running their football program into the ground, a "home run" hire?
