our "friends" at DonsCentral.com will not be amused if we are fortunate enough to pull this one off ...
Dan seems to have very legit credentials and I like the way he has handled himself in the press ... also seemed to have a "realistic" view of things and has made things Happen

(Counting Crows lead singer Adam) Duritz is more than just a locker room cheerleader. "He helps us in so many ways,'' executive associate athletic director Dan Coonan said. Duritz has donated to the Cal athletic department, and has a name plaque at Haas Pavilion.

"(Cal All-American) Craig (Morton who led both the Dallas Cowboys and the Denver Broncos to the Super Bowl during his 17-year NFL and was asked to rally a fund drive to renovate Memorial Stadium and update the football facilities) brings instant credibility to our development operation," said Cal associate athletic director Dan Coonan. "Who would be better to connect with our alumni and donors than a celebrity in the world of football? He has real star quality about him. But he also is unassuming and he has a nice way with people."

PROVO, Utah. -- Tom Holmoe will be in the stands tonight on the Utah campus in Salt Lake City. He'll be wearing blue, he'll be sitting among Cal people, and he'll be pulling for the school that fired him to win.
Holmoe's five seasons as Cal's football coach were a disaster --
Holmoe is far from a disaster as a man. He is an admirable human being with sterling character, which made it easy for Cal to invite him this evening. Dan Coonan, a Cal athletic department official, extended the invitation with a phone call.
"That's classy," said Holmoe, who accepted eagerly.

Bears will make money with Insight appearance
Posted on Sat, Dec. 27, 2003
PHOENIX - Cal not only won its first bowl game in 10 years Friday night, it also became the rarest of Pacific-10 Conference teams: one that does not lose money on a second-tier bowl game.
Dan Coonan, Cal's executive associate athletic director for revenue sports, estimated that the Bears would ``do a little bit better than break even, which is a real tribute to our fans.'' Coonan declined to give a specific figure -- or reveal how the money would be used -- because the bills have not been paid.
``We're waiting to see it first,'' he said.

I heard McGillis dropped out last week because the prices here to live were just too outrageous. I don't know how much that position pays but I am sure it is different then living out in Evansville, Illinois or whatever.

Cal administrator to become A.D. at SCU, source says
By Jon Wilner
Mercury News
Santa Clara is expected to name Cal athletic administrator Dan Coonan as its athletic director at a news conference this morning, according to a source close to Coonan.
For the past three years, Coonan has been the Bears' executive associate athletic director for revenue sports, meaning he oversees football and men's basketball. Before that, he was an assistant commissioner for the Pacific-10 Conference.
Coonan, who attended Notre Dame, replaces Cheryl Levick, who spent four years at Santa Clara before taking the same job at St. Louis University in July.
