General Coach Candidate News

Also think of this from the search firm’s perspective. Yes they are interviewing on behalf of a school but they’re also gathering research for their next client. Not saying they’re unethical but it’s good business for them to interview any coach with a pulse so tomorrow when BFE State needs a new coach they have a solid base. 
 

in short, Search firms talking to someone means squat.

So I'm currently 3 hours and 22 pages behind.  I haven't looked forward.  I'm willing to make a bet that in the next 10 pages there will be at least 12 post from AH1971 how he is right and it's a lateral move. What is the over/under? 

Already made my point. McDermott moving from Creighton to Indiana at this stage of his career would be, to put it bluntly, stupid.

KathyC is obviously a huge troll, but I wouldn't be at all surprised if she/he works in academia on some level. This isn't to offend anyone on BTB who does work at a university, but it is a strange place to work if you've only ever worked at a private for-profit kind of company. 

Her responses kind of show some of the issues that might indicate some of the reasons why IU has sucked over the past 25 years. How she focuses on minor, unrelated things (like grammar, etc...) or emphases "process" to a comical degree - that's true. I've seen it with my own eyes. 

I worked as a consultant for a couple of major universities and actually sat on a BoT for 2 smaller colleges at one time. I would almost laugh out loud at some of the issues that were brought up. It's that kind of stuff that totally goes on in college administrations that weighs down even easy decisions.

Don't get me wrong. Massive bureaucracy and groupthink and minor issues can sometimes be a huge problem at for-profit companies too (IBM in the 60s is a famous example that is taught in some biz schools), but it seems to be a regular part of life in unis today. 

I wonder what kinds of crazy conversations went on behind the scenes at IU led to the hiring of Woodson? And what kinds of stupid conversations are going on right now? 

Just a thought. There ARE lots of ACTUAL KathyCs in the admin of IU right now. Remember that. 

You’d probably be shocked by what people in academia / universities say about many consultants and some of the perspectives and attitudes they exhibit.

"there have been many conversations, with many people, the details of those, I cannot disclose, but rest assured, the search firm and IU are doing their due diligence because we know how important this hire is. And we aren't having direct convos with coaches, just there have been things discussed, again, can't go into details" 

What did Cashy really even say here?

Indiana is talking to many people, doing due diligence. Active coaches are in communication through agents or other reps.

Duh. This is every coaching hire everywhere in college basketball, college football, NBA, NFL, etc. Cashy has offered nothing here at Btown Banners but judgement of the fans and a big, wet blanket.

This Brownell drop may be just one last bit of smoke/misdirection to get this past selection Sunday.  To get it over the proverbial hump if you will…..If IU makes the tournament,, it may take a bit more but my guess is SD has his guy but just won’t share it until the Woodson era is over.

And she said in her follow up the search firm wasn’t talking to active coaches directly. Which is contrary to anyone interviewing smart.

Again, unless that means we've been talking to non-active coaches,  and perhaps have a verbal deal in place with one...
