If that's the 4 names we're stuck with, how did this company help us out? Having Schiablo on this list really sucks! IMO

I remember when a lot of money was spent on a new logo for the Tennessee Valley Authority and after a lot of hoopla they came up with this: logo.png

About to do a story on Miami coaching search.

Watch at your own risk.
 
We honestly have no idea how, when, and who the search firm contacted for this job. We don't even know who has the job yet. Let alone all of the legal parameters involved with this kind of stuff. The university has made some dumb decisions. But come on, now.

The last time we hired a committee we hired a DC from our own failed coaching staff. I put nothing past this administration. I'm afraid we are about to hire Schiano and this program will be finished.

Nothing really. Just talked about who the analysts think is the best fit. Mark richt 1A butch Davis1B

Then one of them randomly threw mike leach out there.....

That's about right. It was spirited. If it wasn't for the camera, I think it would have been much more interesting! Worth a watch.
 
You need a third party search firm in order to contact coaches who are currently employed, or allow coaches who are employed to express interest in the job, without teams or coaches violating NCAA rules. Jim Laranaga got his job with Miami by initiating contact with them through a third party.

As expected, we a have a dolt running the search.

Richt is a pr stunt by Jimmy Sexton. He is not coaching this year.

Also looks like they have bought into this groundswell of interest for Schiano. Sexton surly leaked that Greg was finalist for USC and that UCF offered him the job. Both are likely completely false in order to make Schiano look like a more attractive candidate.

Blake James is a complete fool and is being played like a fiddle.

What firm or committee did VT use to get Fuente so fast?

It's simple. Some coaches, by contract, can't be contacted by the school. That's point one. Point two, it's a cover your a$$ situation.

This is absolutely not true. A school does not NEED a search firm for anything. Search firms may be able to initiate contact and gauge interest more discretely, but that is debatable. Schools like search firms because they handle various arrangements - locations and travel for interviews (frequently done away from campus to avoid the press) - in addition to contacting and gauging interest, performing background checks, etc. They do not do anything that the school cannot do without them.

Most coaches' contracts will state that the coach needs permission in order to discuss potential employment with anyone else. The school presently employing the coach will frequently insist that the school wanting to interview explicitly agree to pay the coach's buyout if hired (since the potential hiring school is not a party to the coach's employment agreement).

Before contracts became as detailed as they are today, it was considered common courtesy for AD's to ask for permission prior to discussing an opening with a presently employed coach.

In either case, hiring the coach without providing for the payment of his buyout is a nice way to run into a tortious interference with a contract claim. You can read up on Kent State, Bradley University, and Gene Ford if you're interested in that.
