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?

Yeah I think Skip mentioned in his interview with Ott and Hanny that they used a search firm to assist when they were hiring Les. I don't think this is out of the ordinary and doesn't make Joe doesn't have the final say.

pretty much. people freak out though and think the ad is outsourcing all of the search to them for some reason.

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.

It's also to create,a degree of separation between the school and the coach/agent.
