Kennedy’s Bold Vision for UAB Athletics | Huntsville News

UAB’s search for a new athletic director is heating up, with a clear need for someone who understands Birmingham deeply and can bring bold, innovative leadership—much like the legendary Gene Bartow did decades ago. Current interim AD and men’s basketball coach Andy Kennedy, who stepped in just two weeks ago, is uniquely positioned to lead. With deep roots at UAB—having played under Bartow and coached under his son—he’s built a winning basketball program, developed NBA talent, and shown he can recruit and compete at the highest level. While not yet saying he wants the permanent job, Kennedy’s commitment to UAB’s future and his ability to unite the university and community make him the ideal candidate to carry on the legacy of vision and grit that defines UAB athletics.
