I agree. Why pay the athletic department if they can’t handle hiring a coach?

That’s correct. We had a jump on this one since we fired Napier before you guys fired BK.

I assume it would be a conflict of interest.

Did they participate in the BK hiring?

They brought us Golden.

If they bring us drink I’d ask for my money back.

BK was all woody and his inner circle

Search firms in this day and age seem totally unnecessary

I honestly don’t know what they actually do for a school in this situation.

I keep seeing vetting but there must be more to it like communication between parties for plausible deniability and overall strategy.

wish I could find a job like that. Suggesting coaches that are already well known as good coaches to schools in need of a coach

The time I remember LSU hiring a search firm is when reporters showed up at practice and asked Mike Archer how he felt about a search firm doing work to conduct a search for his replacement. That was about an hour before his radio show. It was quite a memorable radio show that night.

They tried that and it didn't work. Maybe they didn't want to keep hiring and firing ADs. Guess he wasn't doing a bad job outside of this (in the eyes of the admin) and decided to use the search firm instead.

Question is why in the hell would you try to interview GMs? Why wouldn't Kiffin be allowed to bring who he wants?

Why are Florida fans pretending Drinkwitz wouldn’t be the best coach the school has had since Urban?

Based on what? The disdain for Drink comes from “he’s not Kiffin”. Be glad you’re not hiring from the G5.

Again.

Drink would do a great job at UF.


I don't think that is thr issue. The issue is paying some lame-arse "search firm" to "find" you a coach that you could have picked up the phone, called, and hired on day 1 of the process.
