According to Jerry Carino (and tweeted by Paul Tyahla), Joe Quinlan is about to no longer be Seton Hall's AD.  This appears to be the end of a tenure which the men's basketball team has only made the NCAA's once; his first season.  This was also a tenure which the entire athletic program was particularly weak, as women's basketball, baseball and soccer weren't successful.  Carino writes:

Four sources with knowledge of the situation confirmed that Quinlan’s contract was not renewed when it expired in September, and that he has been working on an "at-will" basis this year, which is unusual for someone in his position. A potential landing pad is Loyola (Md.), where he began his career as sports information director from 1984-86. Loyola’s longtime AD, Joseph Boylan, is retiring in July. A search is underway.

To be honest, this is a good day for Seton Hall, because the tenure of Quinlan was not a successful one at the very least.  There's a Facebook group calling for his ouster, created while I was still an undergrad.  It also ends a battle of wills between Quinlan and Bobby Gonzalez, which turned into Gonzo's favor after signing a contract extension before the season. 

However, now is a huge dilemma for the Pirates as they not only have to bring in an athletic director who will allow Gonzalez to continue to build the program into a real program, but needs one who can help the other sports to experience some success.  Remember, Seton Hall used to have a baseball program that developed players such as Matt Morris, Mo Vaughn and Craig Biggio.  Why can't Seton Hall have a baseball program like that again?  Those in charge at Seton Hall can't take this search for a new AD lightly or the ramifications that will result will lead to a worse era of Seton Hall athletics.  Perhaps a Rutgers-like NCAA drought would result on the wrong person.  The right person, however, can help bring this program back to late-80s, early 90s levels of success.
