Michigan Using Search Firm

Well this isn't good for Michigan. This means they're completely dedicating themselves to rebuilding again. They won't be competitive until 2014 at least.

I didn't take it as ego, I took it as "it's my fricking job and arse on the line, so let me do it."

You want everybody telling you how to do your job and then bitching all over the internet when you don't do what they think is best? They aren't the ones who could get fired if another shitty hire is made.

exactly.

Using Search Firm

totally retarded, in my humble opinion

generally speaking

Athletic directors at big-time colleges should have networks of coaches, agents, trusted advisors, they can turn to when it comes time to hire a coach. If an athletic director however is so clueless that he has to hire a frickin' job search headhunter to hire a coach, that program is screwed.

Re the rumors/reports about LSU going after Pelini, it gives me some comfort in Alleva and how he is handling the situation. Hear me out. I'm not necessarily saying you need to hire somebody immediately, but, with NSD around the corner, truth be told, the sooner the better. IF Miles leaves, and IF the reports about LSU contacting Pelini's agent are true, that indicates Alleva is doing his job, is being decisive, and making decisions. As fans, we have to let the folks that our school has hired as its decision-makers, make decisions. I would rather an AD who knows what he wants and goes after it, rather than a weak-arse guy who has to hire a bullshite search firm.
