We are getting like $2M+ (buy out)....hopefully we hire a professional search firm.
- Thread starter ttowncoug
- Start date
A qualified person doesn’t need a search firm. We also don’t have much time if they hope to retain or find talent this cycle.
I have little faith we have qualified people at WSU who will make the right decision. Judgement will be clouded by money and budget constraints.
A quality athletic director knows how to identify and hire good coaches. I wouldn’t expect them to be an expert on every sport. But football is what drives the bus. Don’t fck it up like Pat Chunk did.
Can't wait to see what budget hire the BoR approves.
There's plenty of good coaches out there, but WSU will find a way to trip over the bar and face plant.
Will this be a Schulz/McCoy maneuver or will they hand it off to the big-money boosters?
The latter is what happened at Texas A&M last season where the administration offered the job to Stoops at Kentucky, but the oil money said no and made the moves to bring in Elko from Duke
I have zero confidence Schulz and McCoy will look through the lens of getting someone who has the "chops" (pun intened Pete).
I think we need to lean on a search firm who can come up with a list of great candidates.
At least he'd hang around awhile and see if he can give 'em all a nice big sh*tburger to eat!
So it seems the Bloom is off the Rose with regards to our previously gushed upon AD? I do recall one poster who has been raising the alarm since day 1. Who was that masked Coug?
And Pete, you are so cute (quote below). I mean that slur-ryesly - uh I mean seriously!

Who's the top three candidates WSU should hire? Who are the likely candidates WSU will hire?
It feels very believable that WSU admin will ignore the first question, all in the favor of the might dollar.
WSU doesn’t have businessmen or salesmen making decisions and pursuing a new coach. They have nerds and pencil pushers.
Too bad Jason Eck (New Mexico) and Bronco Mendenhall, (Utah St.) just signed onto their new gigs.
I would have been happy with either. Not sure Bronco would have been come to Pullman, based on his LDS affiliation.

McCoy did a nice job with the David Riley hire (so far). Didn't break the bank but also didn't go uber cheap. It helped that he brought almost a full compliment of players with him (before injuries).
One thing we need to keep our fingers crossed on, that Dickert has at least a little integrity and doesn't try to gut the remaining roster.

What?
I watched his presser yesterday from Albuquerque. He stood up there and it was formal. His wife and 3 kids on the front row. Accepted his Lobos jersey and the whole shebang.
Are you certain?
Business is business. Dickert flew his family out of town on a private fvucking jet for a $25,000,000 + million guaranteed contract and a shot to be the Mark Few of a Gonzaga football wannabe.
I would be disappointed if he didn’t strip this roster of any value it has. Recruits, too.
It would be bad business not to.

As this is just the term sheet, a formal contract still needs to be signed: "While these terms are contingent upon our executing an employment contract, I trust that every reasonable effort will be made to mutually conclude that process within 60 calendar days," the term sheet says
It ain’t show friends…
