It’s not often you get Carol Folt and Rick Caruso to make official statements together but both praised Mike Bohn today for being named NACDA athletic director of the year.
Bohn was actually one of four Football Bowl Subdivision athletic directors of the year and one of 28 overall as the list below shows. USC is omitting that, of course, and saying Bohn is “the” winner.
Now when you fire Clay Helton and hire Lincoln Riley, you should get an award. When you oversee a football program going 4-8 and having the worst attendance in decades, that’s a huge negative point.
Former UCLA athletic director Dan Guerrero won this award . . . three times! Twice at UCLA and once at UC Irvine.
“Mike is transforming the culture of USC Athletics in so many ways, and I want to congratulate him on this well-deserved recognition,” Folt said.
“Since Mike came aboard as Athletic Director, he has been a visionary leader and has ushered in a new era for USC Athletics,” Caruso said.

Lynn Swann should’ve won some Athletic Director of the year awards, he was good at his job, and he loved the reach around’s I use to give him on Monday mornings.

Wasn’t it Mike Bohn who made Donte Williams the interim head coach?
That move alone should get Bohn the “Idiot Of The Year” award.

I’m laughing at the schools he was up against for this unheard of award 😂. Check back when Lincoln Riley is in his third year, and the program resembles Clay Helton, and Steve Sarkisian’s USC’s teams.

How is he a visionary? It took him 2 years to fire Clay Helton and that only came after Stanford beat the brakes off of you. If Oklahoma doesn’t lose to Oklahoma St. who knows where you sad saps would be.

firing hellton is a huge plus, taking too long is a big minus,hiring a good replacement is a big plus,retaining bsktbl coach a big plus…wish the other sports were like the 50’s and 60’s with great coaches coaching ncaa championship teams…but times are different with ncaa mediocre as the standard for all private schools…so he gets an ‘attaboy’

Watch your step there, GT
It’s not everyday a man can be one of the top 28 in his field
(out of about 110 1-A football candidates)
By the way, Wiley should get a piece of that coveted award
along with Bon-Bon. And of course the cherry on top of the cake is getting an endorsement from none other than Without-a-Folt.
So take that George, this is quite a news day!

Responding to Mr. Tirebiter above, what did Putin do, take away Hillary’s Russian vodka privileges.
Or maybe he has withdrawn any endorsement of her making a 2024 presidential run.

By the way, returning to basketball news, if SC can get by the Miami pygmies, they matchup well with Auburn, who present a 7’1″ shot-blocker (but he is white so Mobley can take care of him), a 6’10” forward (who could spell trouble), but then they drop to 6’6″, 6′ and 5’11”.
Troy can take them, and if they do, then there is Kansas up next, and Troy killed them last year. So Elite-8 here we come!
