I think it's quite possible he also was Eichorst's first choice.  Here's what people really need to be asking themselves:  how would you feel about Riley had he been named the coach in 08' instead of Bo being named coach?  This really was the pinnacle of Riley's career where he was coming off of 9 and 10 win seasons finishing in the top 25.  Would you be willing to give him more time?  It's not so much that Riley was the wrong choice as much as it was the wrong time. 

It was definitely the wrong choice, and there was never a right time to hire MR.

By whom, may I ask?

And I disagree- if trev is the lock why drop 150,000 for a search firm?  For appearances? Maybe, but I think he's not a lock and may not even want it.

I definitely don't think Trev is a lock but I don't think $125k is a large waste even if that's who we end up hiring.  Take a look at whoever the best candidates are that might be interested.  If Trev ends up being the best one, so be it.

 

But I'd much rather have an outside firm help make sure we look at all our options rather than just take the "easy" choice down the road.

I agree with Mav's point - I think you can ultimately end up with a guy like Trev and still justify paying the search firm (assuming, of course, the firm did it's due diligence and Trev really was the best available candidate when evaluating all the factors).

Great points all around.  The search firm will help Bounds and Green with the initial list of candidates, contacting them, helping set up interviews, etc.  The $125-150K for the search firm is a drop in the bucket for the athletic department.

Then we end up in the same position we are in today.....

Okay, when Kansas State gets Craig Bohl and they're #5 in the nation, don't cry to me!

Read a little of UCF discussion threads, some worry about Frost leaving.  I almost feel sympathetic for them, especially since it is a school not that far from me  (and not one of the big 3 in FL that I like seeing lose).

Do you watch a lot of Wyoming football?  I'm not worried.

Illinois should just bring in the George kid for obvious passing situations. 

[Hayseed]

I bet we'd go Bohling for sure.

Who are the boosters with the most influence? Any way to tell coaching preference by following the money???

Howard Hawks seems to be the booster who throws around the most money, but I don't know if he tries to influence things.
