After a highly competitive national search, the University of Wisconsin-Oshkosh has chosen Darryl Sims as its new athletics director.
Sims, who has served as the assistant director of athletics at UW-Oshkosh since 2007, succeeds Allen Ackerman, who recently announced his retirement from the athletics director position after 19 years. The selection concludes a two-month search that involved more than 60 applicants from across the country.
I have gotten to know Darryl during his time at UW-Oshkosh and I've been extremely impressed. He has treated both me, and my broadcasting partner, Gary Douglas, well on our trips to UW-O.
Being a "football guy," having played major college football at the highest level at UW, it is my hope that Simms can "light the fire" for the football program. The Titan football team won't have to wait long to take "a shot across the bow" of Division III football when the Titans open the 2010 football season at Titan Stadium vs. Mount Union!
