Instead of just guessing, it would be nice to have some facts. Who is the search firm and have they handled it before. If so, what coaches have they been responsible for getting hired?
That isn’t a good timeline. It should be a week. We hit the month long dead period in two weeks. We need a coach in place to firm up current commits and begin to complete our 2017 class. #Ban17ofBrothers
Search firm is Collegiate Sports Associates. A few of the hires involving their firm in the past are:
Akron - Terry Bowden 2012
Boston College - Steve Addazio 2013
East Carolina - Scottie Montgomery 2016
Colorado - John Embree 2010, Mike McIntyre 2012
Florida Atlantic - Charlie Partridge 2013
Kent State - Paul Haynes 2012
Miami (OH) - Chuck Martin 2014
Nevada - Brian Polian 2013
New Mexico - Bob Davie 2012
Buffalo - Lance Leipold 2015
Thing worth noting about the search firm: Every one of those schools is a bottom-feeder, and was before those coaches got there, with the possible exception of ECU. Every one of those hires replaced a coach that was fired. There’s reason to think that our scenario looks substantially different from that of their typical client, and the list of candidates should, too.
