Pitt is hiring Allen Greene as its next athletic director.

“Pitt Athletics is the front porch of the University of Pittsburgh, serving as a crucial access point for so many across our campus, our region, our nation and the world,” chancellor Joan Gabel said in a statement Friday.

“In Allen Greene, we have a proven national leader who exemplifies the Pitt way, and who has all of the experience and intangibles to elevate our athletics program in competition and in the classroom. In my conversations with Allen and with many others who know him well, it is clear that he will lead us successfully into the new world of intercollegiate athletics.”

Greene worked as a senior deputy athletic director and the chief operating officer at Tennessee since December 2023. He previously served as athletic director at Auburn (2018-22) and Buffalo (2015-18) and also filled a deputy AD role at Ole Miss in 2023.

The Seattle-area native graduated from Notre Dame, where he was an outfielder for the Fighting Irish. The New York Yankees selected him in the ninth round of the 1998 MLB Draft and he played four years in the minor leagues before beginning his career in sports administration.

Greene, 47, replaces Heather Lyke, who was dismissed on Sept. 6.
