CORAL GABLES, Fla. (AP) — Kirby Hocutt is resigning as Miami’s athletic director to take the same job at Texas Tech.
Miami President Donna Shalala announced the move Friday, saying she was “deeply disappointed.” Hocutt did not return a call or text message seeking comment.
The move comes less than three months after Hocutt fired Randy Shannon and hired Al Golden to coach the Hurricanes’ football team, and less than two weeks after Hocutt said basketball coach Frank Haith would remain at Miami at least one more year.
Hocutt spent 212 years at Miami. At Texas Tech, he’ll replace the retiring Gerald Myers.
