We just signed 3 players, bad timing in my opinion on letting the whole staff go.
Plus,the AD doesn't have a coach in waiting as they are doing a national search .

The "entire staff" thing was interesting to me as well for that exact reason. Bring in a new guy and see if he has interest in keeping anyone on to have some level of roster continuity/keeping guys that are signed.

This timing is going to be tough to overcome for the '22 season.

They always say national search even if they already have someone in mind.

UE will conduct a national search with TurnkeyZRG, the same firm it used to hire an AD.

Search firms are such a massive waste of money.

I will pull a dean_siu and donate to Evansville if they hire Hinson.

I guess I'll wait for the pick and the results to form an opinion. But then again I am not an expert.

My point is the search firm isn't going to find you someone a good AD/Athletic Department can't find on its own. It's 2022. There aren't awesome candidates hiding somewhere that only a search firm can uncover.

Spending six figures to a firm to find you someone is a waste of money. Assuming the pick is someone that ONLY the search firm could get is a fallacy.

I normally would agree with this, but this firm is also the ones that just worked with the university on the AD hire. As such, they are very familiar with all facets of the university. I doubt we would have connected with the AD of Cal-Bakersfield without them.

I believe the term used was consulting with them. I am sure AD Ziggy has a short list of candidates he is interested in, but if a slam dunk comes out of left field, then we are all better for it. I am encouraged UE is pulling out the stops and throwing dough at this search. We all saw how horrible the last two hires were when left up solely to the AD.

If you want an example of just how poor our former AD was, this is the class of idiot he hired without doing a basic vetting of.

Awesome way for the new AD to pay the firm back for getting him his new job...
