Keeping track of the careers of college administrators is a bit like watching one of those street-corner cup tricks: if you're not paying close attention, there's no telling where they might turn up.
This morning presented two examples of this principle as both a former chancellor and soon-to-be former president were mentioned as possible future leaders of other systems.
The first suggestion came from the Gov., Rick Perry, who mentioned John Montford in casual conversation over hamburgers at San Antonio's famous greasepit Chris Madrid's. Apparently Montford, Texas Tech's first chancellor -- and fundraising powerhouse -- might be the man who could tie on the shoes of UT System Chancellor Mark Yudof, who's scuttling the Longhorns in favor of a gig heading that university system out in California.
And Jon Whitmore, who's stepping down as Texas Tech's president, is himself apparently a candidate for a chancellor's job at Louisiana State University. Whitmore just removed himself as a candidate for president at Portland State University.
Dizzy Yet?
