Mike Bohn’s three employers before USC – Cincinnati, Colorado and San Diego State – counted on Chuck Neinas’ advice to conduct searches that resulted in Bohn’s hiring. More on the man behind USC's recently departed athletic director:
, one day after The Times asked him and USC questions about internal criticism of his management of the department and conduct as the Trojans’ athletic director. The news came as a surprise to Neinas, who served as a guiding hand and steadfast supporter to Bohn throughout his career.
Across the industry, few have wielded more influence on which football coaches and athletic directors get their big break than Neinas, the former Big Eight Conference commissioner in the 1970s whose power only grew as the lead executive of the College Football Assn. in the 1980s and 1990s. Mike Bohn, far right, shakes hands with Chuck Neinas following his resignation as Colorado athletic director in 2013.
Neinas laughed at the assertion that Bohn got jobs because of their relationship. He noted he was not involved with the USC search. Turnkey Search — not Neinas, who is 91 years old — guided the search that led USC to hire Bohn in November 2019. On April 19, 2004, the Union-Tribune reported that Bohn sent a letter to San Diego State president Stephen Weber that requested a department-wide evaluation and recommended Neinas Sports Services.USC President Carol Folt praised athletic director Mike Bohn’s integrity. Bill Plaschke writes amid a scandal, Folt must explain why Bohn was hired.
Two months after San Diego State made Neinas’ evaluation public, Colorado hired Neinas to lead its search for an athletic director. The winning candidate would be charged with cleaning up a department reeling from sexual misconduct allegations against football players. In May 2013, after eight years at Colorado, Bohn led an emotional news conference during which he defended his record and insisted he was forced to resign.Suspended L.A.
