Head Coaching Search

[Leatherneck57]

I can’t believe we are supposed to name a new head coach in 5 days and the only name we’ve really heard is Tony Sorrentino.  I’m good, if that’s our guy, but I’m surprised we haven’t heard much about the other 39 applicants.



 

It ended up being closer to 60 applicants.
 


 

Wow do you know if they have it down to the finalists yet

No information? That is concerning. Why is Western operating an amateur coaching search? Northern Arizona, East Tennessee, and Tennessee Tech all wrapped up the their search by today. I understand getting the hire right, but days are precious. It’ll be at least December 8th. I’m thinking more like December 15 and that isn’t a good sign.

I would say be patient and let the process play out. I believe you will be happy when it’s all said and done.

That’s not really concerning I remember when we hired fisher him and another candidate came in and the community voted on the candidate and the other candidate even dropped out. I wasn’t looking for names I just wasn’t sure if they had trimmed the list down im sure there were probably a few candidates that we really didn’t take seriously. Do we know if the candidates needs a masters degree I know that use to be a requirement.

Coaching searches used to operate under patience. It’s not me that’s losing sleep. It’s the players, as I have been told. Several contemplating transferring or at least testing the waters of the portal. Remember, for them it’s already been two weeks. They want to know they’re in good hands.

I thought at least some of the players were involved in the search - can't the other players find out from them what type of candidates there are? Not names, necessarily, but strengths/weaknesses, etc.
