[QUOTE="3xWVUenginEER, post: 129747275, member: 1476506"] What I find most embarrassing is any athletic dept that would actually use a search firm to help hire a Head Coach. The search firm is typically being also paid by potential coaches they 'recommend' (explains why Skip Holtz keeps getting head coaching jobs). The search firms are really winning in this from a financial standpoint-getting paid by both sides.. It is even worse that Oregon is doing this for the Head Football Coach which is the most important coaching hire on that campus. It tells me Rob Mullins, WV Native or not, isn't much of an AD. I remember asking Oliver Luck once about hiring someone new if a coach left for another job. He said and I'll paraphrase, 'Any good AD should carry a list of at least 5 good names at all times for every head coaching position in the dept cause some will leave for another job and some you may have to fire.' The dude was a one of a kind, cause he had no filter. [/QUOTE]
