On Swains WVLZ morning show from Thursday:
- likes hearing that Currie speaks to CBJ every day.
- likes hearing that Currie speaks to present players every day. Trying to keep discontented players from leaving.
- likes hearing that Currie speaks to current commitments to assure them that he will do whatever it takes to get them winning at a high level. Says its a tough balancing act not to promise that Butch will stay or go until that decision can be made public.
- Swain says this coaching search will be different than what Hart did because Currie is smarter and more meticulous.
- Says Currie has done a great job trying to forge consensus amongst all of the usual decision makers like big donors, administration, former players, etc.
- says he has heard that Currie may have already given some names to a search committee to vet. Stressing that this search committee will not bring names to Currie but that Currie will bring names to them. The committee job is to then go to agents, friends, etc. of those candidates to gauge any POSSIBLE interest. This is all behind the scenes and confidential. Swain thinks Currie will keep it all to himself to avoid leaks.
- Says that Currie prob has three tiers that he has ranked of names that he will have vetted. That we are prob only on the Top Tier of maybe five big names for the committee to gauge interest on now.
