Reasons for 2023 Football Optimism

The interviewed coach’s request for confidentiality that the interview occurred trumps the fan’s need to know . . .

What is this, Hire HIPPA?

It made the administration kick out a knee thinking we can't hire an up and comer, we be better hurry and go internal before our last chance jumps ship.

I happen to think they made the perfect choice by accident.

Fair enough. Then release the exact number of interviewed coaches. At least make it “look” like a nationwide search was conducted.

UNLESS it was because Des was the best hire for the money we had available.


How would the general public know, since the interviewed coaches names weren’t ever released?

It is none of the public business who applied or was interviewed. Remember the 4500 or so fans at the last home game. I don't see a whole lot of fans caring or needing to know.

Quit trying to sound like Vic . . .

If the number was 5 or 20 what difference does that make? Asking for a friend of a friend.

Without saying any names some of you folks want everything to be an echo chamber.

I’m sure the 4500 would like to know.

The silence CAUSED the attendance woes.

It may have been none of the public's business who applied or was interviewed but it would have been good business.

Protecting troll applicants who are doing practice runs at your expense has never been good business. Cut to the chase and weed out the pretenders.

At the same time you create massive interest in your program and attendance grows instead of shrinking, which is what happens with silence.
