Danny White hired at UCF

[Harry]

UCF: Buffalo athletic director Danny White has agreed to become the new athletic director at UCF, per Dan Wolken of USA Today and Brandon Helwig who covers UCF. Helwig adds that White’s introductory presser will be Thursday. You might recall that White went unconventional in his hiring of legendary D-III head coach Lance Leipold at Buffalo. Will be interesting to see who he plans to go with at UCF.

So they hired an AD and now will hire a coach? I thought that was impossible

It's what is done at legitimate FBS programs...

In all fairness.. O'Leary was the HC and AD... They had to hire the AD first.

I found it more interesting that this AD hired a D III coach at Buffalo.  Makes you wonder who he will hire at UCF.

I have "resume envy". Wonder what UCF is paying him?

Guess what... He's only 35 years old... That's way too young to run a program.....

[NT91]

No on the Cowboy Danny White.

WAY too young! Never mind that he has demonstrated his competence...just for not very many years yet. The term I used to hear when downplaying a potential young hire was "Not enough scar tissue".

No on the Cowboy Danny White.

That's what I thought until I looked him up. Different dude.

Here is another relatively young guy who seems to be doing a good job.

Sorry, I was trolling people who think 33-35 is too young to be the HC.  I'm all for hiring young. 

[oldguystudent]

I'll never forgive him for the 1981 NFC Championship Game.  He should've been playing defense and thrown Dwight Clark to the ground.

[greenjoe]

I always liked the fact that he was the punter as well as quarterback.  Dallas had a true option on 4th down.  Danny White also coached an arena league team in Arizona.  Good ole number 11.  I'm sure it was hard for him backing up Captain America but when he got his chance he did well. 

 

Good to hear he's still involved in football.

I guess UCF wanted some White supremacy.

I always like Danny.  He was never going to fill the Dodger's shoes but I thought he did a nice job.

[Travis]

Well I thought it was a good dad joke...

That Danny White was a great guy. When I was in high school at Allen (playing for the great Ken Purcell - speaking of AD's) a friend that went to church with Danny got him to let us take his custom van to our prom. That was in '84 when he was still playing for the Cowboys - so we thought we were pretty cool lol.

I never heard of "this" Danny White before...

I hear "that" Danny White on the radio every Sunday that I'm driving back home from Denton.  Sorry to say, he's no Troy Aikman, but he's OK.

He has been the color commentator for Cowboys games on Compass Media Networks' America's Team Radio Network since the 2011 season.
