The tweet is embedded below and also attached as the second photo in this story:

The social media-savvy Byrne was introduced last week as the new athletic director at Alabama. He'll start his new job March 1. Between now and then, Byrne tweeted Friday, he'll be laying low with his wife, Regina. Byrne's two sons, Davis and Nick, are expected to stay in Tucson. Both are UA students.
