It's hard to believe that the state's higher education system is going to be under someone who has no experience in higher education and no experience outside of Mississippi, regardless of his personal talents. One can't help but wonder if this suggests that truly qualified candidates were unwilling to apply.

Curmudgeon, I agree.

According to the clarion ledger blog, Jim Cofer, the University of Louisiana - Monroe president, interviewed for the job.  I don't know him, but his resume seems more in line with what I would expect for this job.
