Chun, who is set to become the first Asian-American athletic director of a Power 5 school, is most known for his hiring of head football coach Lane Kiffin this past year. He also hired men’s basketball head coach Michael Curry and women’s basketball coach Jim Jabir during his tenure.

Kiffin’s team finished the year on a 10-game win streak and won more games this past season (11) than in the previous three combined (nine).

The school has not yet announced a replacement for Chun. The University Press reached out to athletics, but did not receive comment as of publication time.
