1. Who hires the AD?
2. Why are people saying we can't hire an OC until an AD is in place?
3. For some reason, I assumed you can have an Interim AD. Do we have one in place??

Yes, the trigger can be pulled to hire a coordinator. The problem is job security (which has some merit to it). If the new AD isn't a fan of the head coach and gets rid of the coach then the staff is most likely, not always, going to be replaced as the new coach will want to bring his guys in.

1 - not sure...I would assume a board that has the new chancellor on it
2 - not really heard that
3 - Dave Hart is our AD and will be until the end of the fiscal year

#2 is about who can finalize million dollar contract terms. AD finalizes salaries.

#3 issue isn't a solve because final contracts take months to finalize. So one AD agrees while one signs. Not ideal.

That said we are talking about a minor amount of money in the scheme of things. Shouldn't be an issue.

In fact I think it's an excuse that's not even valid. The real issue might be attracting a coordinator given future AD and CBj uncertainty

Is it possible that the current administration wants to keep CBJ for some years regardless of outcome? And they need to hire an AD that will promise that? I'm baffled in the reason why it's taking so long. Dave Hart announced resignation over a year ago

I really think if they wanted to keep Butch, they would have just let Hart hang around.

No.

Has more to do with Chancellor hiring and BOT approval. Now she's being onboarded and probably wants to do her due diligence on candidates without one being shoved down her throat.

I know I would if I was in that position.

They all are from non-winning programs. I would prefer a proven winner.[/QUOTE]

I Don't have a good feeling about this. Knowing we needed to replace Hart since summer and we are just now hiring a "firm" to do the search.

At least Gilbert's name isn't on that list. That would be so Tennessee to go through all of this and then hire him:( I am hoping this search firm was done to maybe avoid some perceived conflict of interest (who knows) when they ultimately hire Blackburn.

Maybe he fits into "but are not limited to"

Tennessee hired a research firm when all they had to do was pick up the damn phone and call Blackburn. :roll eyes: :crazy:

If it is cincy's AD, we may as well be cincy south. I cannot believe that we would make that hire. Blackburn is clearly the best fit for this job, nobody on that list is better suited than him IMHO. GBO!

We can hire one, the question is can we get someone that is comfortable coming in without a AD in place. I think people are confusing the two. Some say it doesn't have a impact, I hope they are right. I just hope Blackburn gets a fair shake. GBO!!!!

Just trying to figure out the hold up on all these hires.

It sounds like too many people are trying to make power decisions and none are on the same page.

Things I heard a couple of weeks ago suggested everything was lined up and they were just waiting until mid-Feb as a courtesy to the new chancellor so she could officially endorse the hire before it happens. The recent news has really got me wondering if the eggheads outflanked the good ole boys.

That's just cryptic enough to generate about 5 more pages of redneck frenzy.

Apparently at Tennessee a second search firm hires the AD.

How screwed up is it when UT's BOT and Big $$$ Donors are so inept that the new Chancy who hasn't started working for UT full time wants to hire a second search firm to assist in the hiring of the AD? There is already a search firm that is under contract with UT for these very searches.

This is just plain malfeasance. One could even argue that if in fact a second search firm is retained that this is a breach of the BOT's fiduciary duties. If nothing else it is wasteful and horrible stewardship.

It seems to me that the big money guys - the guys that donate the money that pays for the new buildings on campus - need to find their collective spines - get this done!

Some on here amaze me. There was never any way that an AD was going to be hired without input from the Chancellor. She will be the AD's boss. She should absolutely take part in this process. That is after all part of her job.
