Sam Houston State University is moving forward with an expedited national search for its next director of athletics, with the search and screening committee beginning its work immediately. The university aims to announce its next athletics director before the December holiday break.
The nine-member committee, chaired by Vice President for Student Affairs Dannie Moore, will work with CSA Search & Consulting to recruit and screen candidates for the position.
The timeline also supports the university’s plans for the football program. Once selected, the incoming director of athletics will begin leading the search for Sam Houston’s next head football coach. Bobby Williams will remain in charge of the Department of Athletics until his retirement in the spring, at which time the incoming director will assume leadership of the department.
The committee includes representatives from university administration, faculty, athletics, the student-athlete community and the Texas State University System Board of Regents.
