Why would the TSSAA get any better with Mark?  Again, nothing changes as you are replacing one former educator with another former educator and expecting them to operate a multi million dollar business with absolutely “ZERO “ business background.  Just look at the Board of Control and they have zero business background.  Typical bureaucratic operation.  

So who would have been your choice?

I truly don’t know but it would not have been an educator.  As an entrepreneur I would search for someone that had several years of experience in sports business.  Another idea would be to see if there was an individual at one of the more successful state high school athletic associations around the country that was interested.  The idea of continuing to hire from within is the definition of insanity.

Someone more along the lines of that Ronnie Carter man.

I agree with your second option. Not so much the first. Dealing with student athletes and schools is not for everyone. The second option would have been a good idea. Get someone proven to lead high school athletics. Wonder why they didn't try?

POLITICS, GOOD OLD BOY SYSTEM, BUREAUCRACY 

Please remember that the people on the Board of Control that do the hiring are also educators

Georgia also named a new director last week. He too is a former educator, but he also did some coaching. In Tennessee, Ronnie Carter was the best.
