This conversation is absolutely loaded with strategic advice for current and aspiring ADs. Chance Miller brought new ideas to Coastal Carolina, including wild halftime shows and free concessions at football games. Chance explains where the ideas come from and how they've worked so far at Coastal. Despite being hired in 2024, Chance is already working with a new president (and served on the presidential search committee) and explains how that transition has worked up to this point. Miller goes in-depth on what he was evaluating last fall before making the decision to hire a new football head coach, and shares what he was looking for in the search. He also discusses the strategy Coastal Carolina is taking with uniform patch sponsorships across the athletic department.

BuffStampede.com publisher Adam Munsterteiger had an opportunity to chat with Fernando Lovo, who was introduced as Colorado's seventh all-time athletic director on Jan. 5.

I spent about 12 hours researching this situation and looking at the potential candidates for this position and I kept coming back to why it will likely be Ryan Berryman. I have never met or spoken to Ryan Berryman nor have I talked to any sources about this position since I use my own filtered analysis, not sources, to look at these searches. Berryman is the perfect institutional fit and he will give them long-term stability in the AD chair. Despite only being 32 years old, Berryman has an incredibly impressive background to lead the Lobos. I also explain why I think UNM is doing this search before finishing the president search. To have some fun, I muted out the other names I came up with on my shortlist for the job if it's not Berryman, and will post the unedited version in a reaction video if it doesn't end up being Berryman.

EP 137: Reborn at 51: Jamie Mahaffey's Second Chance at Life   Episode Summary What does it mean to be reborn at 51?  In this powerful episode of This Thing Called Life, heart transplant recipient Jamie Mahaffey shares his extraordinary journey of survival, resilience, and purpose. After undergoing a heart transplant, the former athlete, coach, and Athletic Director at North College Hill City Schools discovered a renewed calling to lead with greater intention. Becoming a John Maxwell Coach inspired him to launch his own company focused on helping others achieve their goals and elevate their lives. Jamie's story is a masterclass in perseverance, perspective, and personal leadership—proof that you don't match the energy around you… You set the standard.      Episode Highlights Host Andi Johnson welcomes Jamie Mahaffey and invites him to share the health crisis that changed everything. On November 11, Jamie became lightheaded at work and was rushed to UC Hospital, where doctors discovered a serious infection in his LVAD (Left Ventricular Assist Device). Facing two life-altering options—replace the LVAD or undergo a heart transplant at Vanderbilt University—Jamie chose the transplant after prayer, reflection, and encouragement from trusted advisors. While driving to Vanderbilt on January 17, Jamie was shocked by his defibrillator 42 times, a harrowing moment that underscored the urgency of his condition. Within days of being upgraded to Status Level One on the transplant list, a donor heart became available. Surgery was scheduled for January 21. Jamie remained in a coma until January 24. When he awoke, he was reunited with his wife Robin and their children in an emotional and life-defining moment. Robin's meticulous advocacy and unwavering presence became a critical part of Jamie's survival and recovery. Jamie reflects on the deep gratitude he feels for his donor—and the profound awareness that his second chance came through another family's loss. A letter from the donor's mother became a pivotal moment, inspiring Jamie to move forward boldly in launching his leadership company. Post-transplant recovery included the unexpected amputation of his leg—an emotional and physical challenge Jamie describes as even harder than the transplant itself. Through faith, family support, and resilience, Jamie developed a renewed vision for his life centered on impact and purpose. He shares his journey to becoming a certified John Maxwell Coach and his vision of speaking, writing, and helping others live beyond their potential. Jamie emphasizes living with integrity, leading intentionally, and choosing purpose over comfort. Key Takeaways Adversity Clarifies Purpose Life-threatening challenges often strip away distractions and reveal what truly matters. Jamie's second chance forced him to reevaluate his priorities and commit fully to purposeful leadership. Leadership Starts With Personal Responsibility You don't match the energy around you—you set the standard. Jamie's story demonstrates that leadership is not about position, but about the example you choose to live daily. Gratitude Changes Everything Understanding that his new heart came at a great cost reshaped Jamie's perspective. Gratitude became fuel for impact, reminding him to live in a way that honors both the gift and the giver. Tweetable Quotes “So I had two weeks of tests. Everything you can imagine. You know dentists, too. That's another thing, if you don't take care of your teeth, that's an affection of your heart. So those appointments are important, something that I didn't do regularly.” Jamie Mahaffey  “My defibrillator shocked me 42 times. And so the cardiologist came down, and he was like, Okay, we have to admit him. And so that's when I stayed there. And on January 18, the doctor came in that morning, and he said, You go from level three to level one a. Level one is where you need a transplant. “ Jamie Mahaffey  “I was in a coma for five days because my heart wasn't initiating with my body.” Jamie Mahaffey  “God was giving me another opportunity to listen to him. It was a time. I mean, I was just always busy. I was a head coach and won state titles and played college ball and played overseas, and I was always moving, but I was always looking after other people as a man. We are fathers, and we take care of our house, and I was an ad, and I was a coach, I was a mentor, so I'm looking after everybody else but myself. And it was a time he was saying, it's your turn.” Jamie Mahaffey  “I know there's a purpose for me to just keep having people to not live off their potential, but pursue their destiny. And so that's why I teach a lot of kids. A lot of people are still in life, living off potential but not pursuing their destiny. “ Jamie Mahaffey  “Maxwell certification was a stepping stone to a vision. I always heard about myself, about being a motivational speaker, about writing books, about having normal eyesight in life.” Jamie Mahaffey  Resources: Donatelifeky.org https://getoffthelist.org/ https://www.networkforhope.org/ https://www.networkforhope.org/about-us/ https://www.networkforhope.org/stories-of-hope/ https://www.facebook.com/NetworkForHopeOPO https://www.youtube.com/@NetworkforHope. https://aopo.org/ RegisterMe.org/NetworkforHope

If the AD search breakdowns and interviews have been helpful, please consider financially supporting HEA with a tip. CollegeAD reported this week that there are 5 finalists for the Charlotte AD job, including 2 sitting ADs and 3 P4 Deputies. I do not think they will hire a sitting athletic director.

Come for the insights, stay for the Landman behind-the-scenes NIL story. Ryan Peck has learned from some incredible athletic directors, most recently Wren Baker, Jeremiah Donati, and now Mike Buddie. In this conversation, Peck definitely shares what he's learned from the deputy positions, but I wanted to see how an up-and-coming senior administrator is carving out his own experiences in the job, too. Peck was on the steering committee for the university's strategic plan and was able to learn and share insights with other university stakeholders across campus in what will certainly prepare him for the president's cabinet role one day as an AD. Peck also talks about the impact of TCU being heavily featured in the latest season of Landman and how they were able to create NIL deals for their athletes to be extras on the show. I asked Ryan how he considers and prepares for certain opportunities that have or will come his way. To round out the conversation I ask Peck his thoughts on schools potentially looking at more outsiders for AD openings and what his approach is and will continue to be for his career. I hope you like these new installments of interviewing the next generation of athletic directors as college athletics continues to evolve.HEA is presented by PILYTIX, an AI tech company for higher education institutions and sports organizations.
