Actually they have an Interim Coach.

temporary, provisional, or intervening


So yes, the HC job is open and we should be actively searching.

A national search firm is standard in a coaching search. The AD does not conduct the background checks and other run of the mill type due diligence on every candidate. That's why a firm is hired.

This is standard operating procedure in any significant hiring.

As feared - already turning into a self induced cluster orgy. They should have settled on a hire by now. The Aleva/King Team now stand a good chance of having to settle for a second tier or lower choice due to dragging their feet.

Isnt the main points of hiring a search firm for a) vetting purposes and b) to make contact above just a general inquiry to an agent?


and also, like hiring a consultant, it gives the hiring party something to hide behind if necessary. it is clear to me that no matter who we hire there are going to be some upset fans. the coaching search firm solidifies the case of the hired party and helps to calm down the upset fans.

Not sure if that was directed at me, but to be honest i have no clue. I think DALSU got banned because he started saying admins were begging him for info, when apparently that was not true. I don't know for sure, but that's what i gathered based on his last convo with Fred.

I wouldn't freak out just yet. This could be a smoke screen to make it appear they checked all the boxes or the OP could be full of shite. Is there any link confirming OPs statements?

You're probably right, but Alleva and King don't exactly have a positive, non-dumpster fire reputation.

Given how the Miles situation was handles last November, this is good news. They need to get feedback from all the candidates and stay off the radar until December.

What's strange to me is people freaking out about this one way or another...I fail to see how any of this is even news.

Alleva wants O to win and be successful... Shocking, of course he does. We all do.

LSU hiring a search firm.., well, duh, don't all schools?

LSU is in a win-win

Ed Orgeron wins out and he leaves Alleva in a tight spot

Yet

The higher ups have time and basically an open schedule to pull the moves behind the scene and let it public when need be
