Syracuse made a very intriguing new AD Hire – former ESPN executive John Wildhack.
Check out the guys at Syracuse Blog NunesMagician for their reaction to the hire.
As the ACC closes in on likely launching it’s own network, this certainly can’t hurt to have former ESPN executive on board.
The consensus is he was well-respected and liked. It’s seems like a good hire on the surface.
To hear the way McDonough, Tirico, Katz. etc. talk about John Wildhack is telling. Many others reached out privately. Highly-respected guy.

Syracuse announces ESPN’s John Wildhack as AD. I want to publicly thank John for all his support. He has been a tremendous leader at ESPN.

More reaction to come, but this is a terrific move on @SyracuseU part. John Wildhack is an alum and knows the world of college sports/media.
