Kevin White is a genius

He joined Duke well after Coach K had established himself as one of the best (if not the best) coach in the country.

The football team has gotten better under his watch, but David Cutcliffe was signed six months before Kevin White took that AD role, so he can't take any credit for that.

The women's basketball program has been strong during his tenure, but, again, Joanne McCallie was hired before he took the job and his been there since.

In other words, he's done absolutely nothing for the three revenue-producing sports at Duke. As for the rest of the programs, I'll use Duke's finishes in the Capital One Cup standings to tell the story:

2010-2011: Men #13 / Women #16
2011-2012: Men #30 / Women #5
2012-2013: Men #5 / Women #11
2013-2014: Men #8 / Women #13
2014-2015: Men #6 / Women #18
2015-2016: Men #99 / Women #13
2016-2017: Men #49 / Women #36

Hmmm, looks like things have gotten worse over the past 7 years, not better.

So...how the f@$% is he worth $1.45 million per year? And why does he deserve to be the third-highest AD in the country?
