I don't have any insider insights, but it's my impression that Mike brought elements of both energy and structure to our recruiting, especially in the Harbaugh/early Shaw years.  I remember that when he made the move from TOS I thought it was a dream job for any fan who was as heavily invested as he was.

I re-read his AD bio and this line stuck out:

"Since December 2020, he has been a member of the Stanford Athletics NIL working group."

I wonder if it somehow played a role in the move.

All the best to Mike, who gave a lot to Stanford.
