AD Steve Gladstone Resigns

CalBears.com is reporting that Cal Athletic Director Steve Gladstone is resigning, presumably to concentrate on coaching men's crew, though probably not at Berkeley.

AD Gladstone is responsible for hiring several new coaches, three of which won Pac-10 Coach of the Year awards in their respective sports. In addition, many Cal sports have returned to national prominence under Gladstone's term, including men's track and football, teams that both received new coaches hired by Gladstone.

Hopefully, the search for a new athletic director isn't overshadowed and overlooked too much because of the debacle that has become of the chancelor-hiring process. It would be ridiculous to regress after all the progress that Cal Athletics has made.Email This Post!
