Jurich

Three things:

1. What @OriginalCanesCanesCanes said is 100% correct. Search Firms are supposed to be a CYA policy, meaning they are supposed to do a thorough background search, & based upon their search, present to you the best candidates. However, b/c they are commissioned, there is a vested interest in hiring from their pool.

Which leads me to

2. I’ve mentioned several times that Jurich was never exonerated; he settled, and the reason he settled was the language found in his contract signing from 2011. So maybe after their own research, they felt he wasn’t a viable candidate.

However, w/ that being said

3. If The University was proactive vs reactive, the school would’ve had a plan in place w/ a big board of viable candidates to replace Blake before he was even fired. Those candidates could’ve been vetted behind scenes to gage interest, and then those names could’ve been added to the search pool if u’re going to go that route.

What this info lets me know is there is literally zero alignment or cohesion.

And, let us not forget that one of these expensive firms had us hire Al Golden as a “can’t miss hire!!!”
 
Why not just say, "Interview whomever you wish, but you're still paying us for doing a job"????

I remember the time we hired a search firm and they brought us Randy Shannon. I wonder why I have little faith in them now?
 
This is what happens when you rock the boat. You have guys who traditionally called the shots and have absolutely zero desire to see the athletic program (football program) succeed bc the benefits they are receiving outside of the University. It is so much like politics where they take money from lobbyists to do their bidding. It’s quite shameful.
 
Obviously D$ is insider goat status.. but I just find the tweet and putting this out interesting..

Bet the "search firm" has determined our current acting AD is the best person for the job, and don't want to be told otherwise.

This sounds incredibly political all around. Typical for a school that makes political hires, and refuses to hire people based on politics alone.

This is fundamentally different from a search firm situation. Audit firms SIGN OFF on audited financials, they actually did the work to audit the numbers, and there are rules of professional conduct which regulate these types of things.

As for search firms, you can get any "service level" you want. Just names? Fine. Names and reference-checking? Fine. Names, reference-checking, and background-checking? Fine.

And for the record, recruiters/head-hunters get bypassed ALL THE TIME. Hey, we hired you as our recruiter/search firm, but we decided to promote someone from within? BYYYYEEEE. We got a candidate that was referred by an existing employee? Thanks, but no thanks, no soup for you.

In my entire professional life, I have never heard of a search firm "threatening to resign" simply because you give an interview to someone that they think has background-check issues. If that was even an issue, it is easily disposed of with a conclusion of "well, you assume all the risk, we disagree, but you are the boss."

This is why this must be a smokescreen of some kind. Some BOT members are kicking and screaming against the prospect of Jurich being the guy so the pro-Jurich crowd wanted to put this out there to do a temperature check and prove to the incompetents what the fanbase really wants.

I could be wrong, but logic tells me there’s no way a search firm with any shred of professionalism pulls this kind of crap.

It's got to be over money. No search firm I have ever heard of would withdraw a candidate that their employer had interest in. His relationship with Miami must have predated the search and there's probably a clause in the contract where they get less when that happens.

this is exactly what i was going to say. jurich must have been carved out of the contract with the search firm
