It’s official, Arizona’s Greg Byrne will be Alabama’s new athletic director.
Byrne was heavily recruited by Florida when they were looking for an athletic director, but chose to stay at Arizona.
Bryne released a short statement through RollTide.com:
“I have incredible respect and admiration for both Coach Battle and Coach Moore, as well as all of the talented coaches and staff in place. We look forward to returning to the SEC and being a part of Alabama’s outstanding tradition.”
This won’t be Byrne’s first round in the SEC, before serving at Arizona he was Mississippi State’s Athletic Director.
