Message: [QUOTE="WoadBlue, post: 4049148, member: 1145"] Search committees no longer control these things: so-called professionals do. And they rarely know the ins and outs and the differences among different conferences, much less of specific sets of boosters and schools. An old fashioned search committee would have included, say: the AD; another couple of employees of the Athletics Department (at least 1 of whom is a coach of another sport); a couple of professors (at least 1 of whom has season tickets); a couple of members of a Board of Trustees; a couple of prominent football boosters; a couple of alums who lack the money to be true 'boosters' but are football fans; and an owner of a local business or local executive (and/or school alum) of a Big Business. A consulting firm will never understand 'fit' like an old fashioned committee. [/QUOTE]
