Parker Executive Search

Relax. This is not an uncommon thing to do and is nothing to manufacture drama over. PES is used by a lot of colleges for a variety of positions. They don't make the hire. They facilitate it in a more private process. They can help determine who is interested and who isn't, run background checks, etc.

Ha! I can see how that looks. Didn’t realize I’ve never posted on StingTalk. Lurked for a long time. Just happen to be familiar with them and others from watching other coaching searches. One of the perks of being military for so long is you have a lot of friends whose coaches get fired.

I mean, all they have to do is tell us all our top targets weren't interested. Are we going to go around the search firms back to confirm what they tell us? If we end up with a mediocre coach who does a bad job, is anyone gonna really reflect that on the search firm?

Agreed. Who the öööö thinks outsourcing a HC search to a bunch of MBA nerds is a good idea?

The AD might be a different story. At least get someone to pre-screen them. But damn, take the ridiculous fee you waste on the search firm and offer the coach all those extra sawbucks.
 
Retaining a search firm provides legal cover for a multitude of issues. This is pretty important in today’s world where half the population thinks that hires should be made on criteria other than who is the most qualified candidate for a given position

You guys are idiots. GT still will have its say in the search. This firm cannot hire anybody. GT drives the search and this firm is there to handle all the un-seen business and come up with more candidates.

Not just that, but given the track record of “GT men” running a football program and what uga has done with their program, we might do well to listen to their suggestions. Todd proved to be a disaster.
 
I'm half joking. That said, don't like hiring UGA people for anything.

I think the big one is that it protects from freedom of information requests. So people can theoretically sniff around the job without being linked to it later by the AJC.

Yea, we let Dodd make a unilateral decision that has done more damage to GT football over 60 years than any search committee
