Is Muir a personable man?  I mean, he's got to be to some extent as an AD in order to handle donor relations, but has anyone ever met him?

I was talking to someone who's known Muir for about 10 years -- this person is not connected to Stanford, but travels in NCAA circles -- and he could not have been more effusive in his praise. Muir clearly makes a good impression on people. But I'm not sure how relevant that is to the question of how he'll handle the Dawkins situation.
