With this search committee hired

Those that think the search committee is a bad thing don't understand how it works. They are basically the Madam at the brothel. They arrange a meeting place, screen the "talent" (in this case, coaches), make sure they meet a standard (resume, winning, experience, etc.), and don't have any diseases (NCAA violations, personal conduct issues, etc.). They help determine their market value for their Johns (Harbaugh $ vs. Folden $), then present them to the John (UM). Now, UM can come in and decide who they want to go to bed with. They don't pick the coach or decide who the U will hire. They also act like the go between so that both Talent and John can "speak" without ever speaking. This matters for Coaches who are currently under contract and a University that doesn't ever want to have to answer the question, "Did you reach out to this girl (coach 1) or that girl (coach 2)?" They can always say that someone else is responsible for making these arrangements.

This is good for the school and good for the coaches IF and only IF the John knows how to pick the right "Talent".

If you need a search committee to tell you to either hire Butch or Herman then you a a ******* ******.

If Herman won't take the job Butch already said he would so make up your ******* mind.

Anyone else is a ******* waste of time to talk to or a waste of time to hire.

Butch, Herman. That's it. End of story.
 
Whether or not Butch was going to be hired or not, his chances were not decreased by the hiring of this firm.
 
Korn Ferry is an executive search firm. They might be the firm that Flake uses personally, or is used by members of the BOT in their businesses. They don't appear on this list of sports agencies:

Agencies By Alphabetical Order | Sports Agent Blog

So, is the BOT serious, or is it amateur hour? Korn isn't even a sports agency; I believe they'll simply compile a list of names. You know them already. Then the secret AD, you know him too, will make the pick.

Bottom line? Shhh...

Butch Hiring Day is 10 away.

I think Butch and Mario's chances have significantly dimmed. I may very well be wrong but I just don't see them getting it any more.

My guess right now, Charlie Strong would be the most likely hire

Just my opinion though

Miami football have hired a search firm for every head coaching search they've done in the past decade.

Nice try though

Korn Ferry placed John Harbaugh at Michigan. They also placed Charlie Strong at Texas, and several NFL coaches, among others.

A school can't talk to an active coach during the season, so they hire a search committee to be the middle man. There are no restrictions on Korn Ferry talking to whomever, whenever. They're a paid go-between.

Korn Ferry placed John Harbsugh at Michigan in exactly that way. If the hiring of Kirm Fery might tell us anything, perhaps it's that the university is eying someone who is currently coaching - either in the NFL or in college

Not doubting you, but I didn't see anything regarding that type of work on their web site.

Later on, I can find you a list of some of the coaches they've placed. It's pretty impressive. Lot of NFL guys and top-tier college.
