Missed This One

Must have been sleeping last July when former Dartmouth and Stanford Athletic Director Ted Leland began his second stint as AD at University of the Pacific. He's doing a two-year stint helping reorganize the department in a role officially entitled Vice President of External Relations & Athletics. Find his bio here. Leland was the Dartmouth AD from 1983-89.

Leland has the distinction of twice hiring Buddy Teevens as his football coach – once at Dartmouth and once at Stanford. Leland will be hiring a new basketball coach at Pacific next year and his predilection for hiring coaches he knows, such as Teevens, is noted in this story about the search for someone to head up the Tiger hoops program.
