This is retarded. I don’t want educators involved in a football coaching decision. UGA ties is just more reason not to do this, he’s probably a booster and season ticket holder.

I bet you also think it's stupid to have career politicians and random corporate lizards involved in the college football playoff selection process.

Get with the times old man, everything ööööing sucks so we're burning it all down.

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

Well, if you offer Deion first, and he tells you no, then you can hire whoever the öööö you want after that.

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.

FFS. The top few candidates are obvious to anyone, and we have the luxury of time since CGC cant even help but be blown out in games in which the other teams try to give him a W forcing us to move in ööööing September.

Dropping a million dollars like this, when you don't have unlimited funds, before you even call Deion or Coastal Carolina, is 100% ööööing idiotic. Like you need a cobol programmer, and your neighbor is a highly regarded cobol programmer who just told you he was looking to leave his current job, so you call up a search firm and tell them to make sure to include your neighbor in the resumes they send over. Go to the damn search firm after you have put in at least a cursory effort.

That’s part of it. It allows Tech to hide its target lists, hides the people who inquire about the job, and keeps the messy process of hiring out of public view.

That is a decent reason, but its an awfully expensive way to do something that should be easy to do. You think the people sniffing around can't just call someone with connections to feel things out?

We got into this mess because TS went out on his own and got sold a monorail.

Yeah, but if AD X from university of Y and it gets leaked, it’s only a “sources say” rather than GTAA phone records prove. It gives people cover - especially if they are interested but don’t get the job.

Again, don't call the AD. call the AD's wife. Or some flunkee.

If this is a legit reason, me and you need to open a "search firm" and the AA can hire us for the cost of a seat upgrade and they can announce we are the firm and we can field interested party calls to avoid FOIA and save the AA a million bucks.
 
Parker's fees appear to be somewhere in the low 6 figure range according to several news articles about their work. They don't choose the new person. They just help develop the list and facilitate the interview process and keep everything hands off for the school that retained them.
 
From the Cabrera presser this seems to be just for the AD, which I think all of us are on board with that.

Having said that, is the AD at JSU on the short list? The AD at Coastal Carolina? :fingersx:
 
We've just spent two years talking about how everyone involved with GT Athletics is either incompetent (the AA itself) or not interested (the hill) and how that has resulted in two awful hires in the two revenue sports, one of which was historically bad.

Perhaps it's not a bad idea to have someone else at involved in finding the new AD and coach.

If it makes you feel any better, the guy running their sports dept. is from Tulane and both assistants are from UCF.
