Ole Miss spent $137,000 on a search firm... to hire the guy they had.

I just don't want this tidbit to go unlaughed at.
I wonder who all turned Ole Miss down?
I guess it's important for everybody to have dreams even if unattainable. I'm not sure how keeping Luke gets you any closer. I assume everybody turned them down with the NCAA cloud hovering. Luke must have been the only guy willing.

Closing note – Ole Miss spent $137,000 with Turnkey Search firm on this one.

Ross Bjork aimed all along to hire a sitting Power 5 head coach. He traveled the country to find one, interviewing eight candidates for the Ole Miss job. Turns out, Bjork did hire a sitting Power 5 head coach. He happened to be sitting in a chair in the Ole Miss head coaches’ office.

There's nothing to laugh at here. This is how much lawyers and shite cost to do just about anything at this level. They also are required by bylaws to have outside people re-vet Matt Luke before a contract can be finalized.

Did all that work to get beat to the punch.

The same firm LSU used to hire the interim shrimp boat captain.
We were just smart enough not to saddle ourselves with a 12 million buyout.

Did a search firm find him the first time?

The Ole Miss athletic department operating revenue in 2016 was over $110 million dollars. With everything they are going through and with such a big decision with their program I just can’t fathom a 1 time 137k Opex consulting fee to help the decision makers gather all the options to make the best business decision for the university. I agree makes no sense.

No lsu fan should laugh at another teams coaching search for at least 10 years

I don’t even see how this is funny.
Tennessee literally is going to pay a guy who has never been to Knoxville, $20 million to never come to Knoxville in the future.

Someone's rent money....sorry, couldn't resist.

$137K is chicken scratch to these programs. That is absolutely nothing.
I'm sure the search firm contacted a bunch of candidates and they realized that the sanctions were turning too many people off.
I fricking wish Alleva had paid a search firm.

I don't believe so.
Alleva "was the search".

Some Joe Alleva level shite right there...

How much do we blow on Alleva every year? He was the search!

How much did LSU spend last year "searching"?
Posted on 11/29/17 at 11:04 am to PoppaD
Sounds like the search firm let them know that nobody was interested.

Yea, I really don't get why our fans feel they have a right to laugh.
Our AD didn't even conduct a search. You made about the same level of hire we did and we're a top 10 program.
