Alabama will reportedly hire away one of the most highly regarded athletic directors in the nation with Arizona's Greg Byrne agreeing to replace Bill Battle in leading the Crimson Tide.

Battle has decided to retire from his post as Alabama AD immediately and move into a newly created "special assistant to the president" role, either until his contract ends in March or longer. Greg Hansen of the Arizona Daily Star reported late Sunday that Byrne will leave Arizona to take the Alabama job "as soon as Monday."

According to SportsBusiness Journal's Michael Smith, Alabama began interviews for the AD job in December, and Byrne met with Saban on Saturday with administration getting a "thumbs up" from the football coach.

Byrne was the AD at Miss State before moving to Arizona. He hired Dan Mullen to replace Sylvester Croom. He also hired Rick Rod at Arizona.

The first thing I thought of was his health. This makes me feel better.

He said his "health was not a factor in this decision" and that he is "in full remission" at this time.

Well MD on this one I have to say I think even I know the why part about CNS. We hired him to run the department not somebody to run him. So the get along part has to be the new guy fit CNS standard not the other way around. RTR!

Remember what happened when Stallings wanted them to hire Mal but they hired Bob Bockrath instead?  That sent us into the abyss until CNS arrived a decade later.

The AD is not his boss, University President is. You really think anyone will try to "run" Nick Saban?

I don't know what the pecking order is between CNS and the AD.  Mal was AD when he fired Shula and hired CNS so that tells me the AD is in charge.  But maybe something has been written into CNS contract that is pertinent to hiring a new AD.

In any case, if I were Byrne, I wouldn't accept the job without having a conversation with CNS.  I would want CNS to know that the relationship has to work and tell him how I envision that.  And I'd want to know mano-a-mano if CNS has any problem with anything I said.  Mutual respect and commitment to the same goals.

I'd probably want to talk with CAJ too.  Just smart to have these meetings.

I'm glad CBB is healthy and sad to see him leave.  He is a Bama guy and knows what matters.  We are in his debt for a lot but especially for hiring CAJ.

I look forward to the Ad first press conference and see what his goals are or where he would like to see us go. RTR!
