Can someone point me to a thread where I can find information about the oc hire at.UT?

Yes! You will find that in the "Make your Own Rumor" Thread!?!?

So, my daughter is a senior, with all her college applications out right now. Obviously, it's a very anxious time for a teenager (and parents)...just watching the mail every day, waiting for the BIG envelope, as opposed to the small envelope or an email.

Fixed it for you. Good luck to her, hope she gets the one she really wants.

Most give you a January-ish date for deadlines on "early action" submissions, but they start rolling in in December without notice...so, it's really about 4-6 weeks of being anxious to hear good news, frequently checking school portals and the mailbox.

Kinda reminds me of this OC search....go to work, checking periodically during the day for news, to no avail. Get up the next day, and repeat. So, maybe UT should do this hiring like admissions, and just send out OC notification envelopes in the mail. Big envelope means "knocked it out of the park". Small envelope...not so good.

Best of luck to her.

Divided into two camps, Chicken Littles vs Let This Play Out. I'm in the "Let This Play Out" camp. Sure everyone wants to know what's really going on with the OC search, and know it yesterday or last week. A lot of posters feel like UT is getting left behind other schools and their recent hires, and the lack of any credible information can be frustrating. But the people who need to know, CJP & ADPF, do. We don't. I for one have been most impressed with the almost complete lack of information during this search, no one with inside info is leaking anything to anyone. That is almost impossible in this day and age!

Chicken Littles ( imo ) will think we've offered practically everyone the OC job only to be turned down each and every time. I believe CJP has his OC and has for some time, and they are just waiting til their current gig is up. A couple of wild guesses would be someone in the same circumstances as Kitchens or Long. If it turns out to be Friend, I'll eat this post.

Again, I've been impressed with CJP's stealthiness...

We've always been divided

You may be right but personally I don’t think CJP gives two craps what the fan base thinks on situations like this. At least I hope he doesn’t.

Wonder if he gives two craps about the fans at all?

Volnation divided against itself cannot stand.


EDIT: Never mind, it's been done already.

Ive read many, I mean MANY threads on this OC search and read alot of posts from people complaining about. Great another post about the “OC”. How about if you are tired of seeing them. How about don’t open them and then post a complaint about them. I personally like seeing what info if any is out there and frankly, other persons insights. Not complaints.

The longer this goes on the more I believe the delay is designed to help manage the fan bases' response to an underwhelming hire. They know we're nuts and hope to limit the mattress burnings.

I'm more than willing to be surprised on the upside.

The longer the search goes on, the more difficult it is to understand why it is still going on. Does that make us care less? Maybe.

I believe that CJP wanted Freeze and it got nixed by ADPF or BOT. I believe that they then thought they had a fish caught, probably Yurcich, but he slipped off the hook. Now it's a complete reset.

Times have changed. I remember getting academic scholarship offers in the mail from schools that I never applied to. Does that still happen?

Only an idiot would hire a staff member as OC knowing this fan base but sore after seeing Botch do the same.
