Modern athletic directors are often in a coaching misconduct being proven, often the athletic director will be terminated along with the offending coach.
Formerly, especially at major football-playing institutions, particularly in the South, the head football coach was also the "AD". This was usually done in a nominal sense, giving the coach additional prestige, additional pay, and the knowledge that the only supervision that he was under was that of the college president or chancellor and perhaps an athletics committee, and such supervision was often token. An associate athletics director actually performed the functions of athletic director on a daily basis in the name of the coach. At a few institutions where basketball was the predominant sport the head men's basketball coach was treated similarly.
