Northwestern AD Jim Phillips.
He was widely presumed to be Jim Delaney's heir apparent in the Big Ten before the conference surprised observers by going with Kevin Warren in a late development.
Previously worked at Notre Dame until 200 when he became AD at Northern Illinois. Boo Corrigan arrived at Notre Dame in 2004, so not sure if they overlapped. Became Northwestern AD in 2008. Saw a story where he worked with UNC AD Bubba Cunningham and worked for Duke AD Kevin White.
