I think Dean Gillis is great, I just wanted to point out that, given what's in the Blue & Gray article, it seems like Dr. Porterfield's stint as Interim AD will probably way briefer than the interim appointments we've seen recently. No disrespect intended. Sorry if it came off that way, not my intention whatsoever.

I don't think it was out of laziness, but rather because he emerged as the most qualified candidate. Let's not disparage the man because he was willing to take on a temporary appointment that required an awful lot of (sometimes thankless) work. And by assuming that he was hired the way you assert it, you do disparage him.
