At this point won't have a thing to do with EE staying or going. But hopefully is a sign that things here will start to stabilize finally.
He seems like a good hire, very well respected, was the AD at Washington State for 10 years, then left in 2010 in an interesting move to San Diego State U.,where he has been for the last 6 years. 21 total years experience as an AD. Don't see moving from a Power 5 conference to a school outside that group very often. Now he's back in.
Why Mizzou? I have no idea, but being the AD at an SEC school is hopefully his final destination and not a stopping point for anyplace else. He has no ties whatsoever to Mizzou, although when he left Wazzou 5 years ago he was rumored to not have a very good relationship with the late Elson Floyd, who was president at WSU at that time, and was a former president here at Mizzou.
Money wise Sterk just got a huge increase. He was earning 315k at SDSU, and Mack was earning 600k here, I believe, when he slunk out of town to preside atop the cesspool that is Baylor athletics. So he has at least doubled his salary probably.
