Search

I am beginning to think that Coach Canales has no chance at the coaching position. Noticed in the DRC this am that RV had finalized the contract with the Nemis search group. It seems to me if Coach C were the man , UNT could have saved alot of money .

Due diligence is due diligence.

Could be. It's been more quiet this time than any that I can remember. That I credit to the Neinis group and RV. Anyone who currently has a job probably doesn't want it well know they are looking around. The more candidates interviewed and evaluated the better the end result will be. And it is still very possible to do a national search and end up with someone from your own backyard.

I think it is good they are getting neinis on this.... I also think that RV is going to lean heavily on what Neinis thinks is best for the program. And, it could very likely be Chico.

Regardless if it is Chico or not who is finally selected/hired, I would like to see Chico stay in the fray of this team, as either HC (if chosen) or OC (if not chosen).

Only if the new head coach wants him.

New head coach chooses his staff.

This reminds me of a national search UNT just completed but at a higher level...I think we all know what the results of that search were too. I'm thinking something similar will likely happen for our head coaching job.

RV still has to go through the paces, he committed to it at the press conference when he announced the change. And, even if it is Canales, I would still hope that we talked to other people even if the search led right back to our campus.

I keep seeing this argument relating to due diligence and I question its foundation...

Rawlins was appointed in April and took office in May. The search for a long term president was already under way before he came in. The committee charged with interviewing possible candidates was to have LJ and the BOR their selection before the regular meeting this coming February. They took 7 months to select their candidate using an executive search committee (which you would hope would speed up the process in some form or fashion) and made their decision at most 3 months ahead of schedule.

Some people on this board hate Lee Jackson. They liked President Rawlins until Lee Jackson turns out to also like him so they must hate Rawlins now. Regardless of what you think of Jackson, even a blind squirrel does find a good nut sometimes!

I'm with you. The committee looked for seven months and decided what we had was great. Seven months is not exactly avoiding due diligence.

Maybe so--maybe not

Funny, since he was hired over RV's objections.

I think it's very good that Lane Rawlins is becoming heavily involved in the process.
