My source has heard conflicting info. First it was Gary, then Gary was of the list and a national search was started. Now Gary is back on the list but search goes on. Source says expect to hear something later this week.
Well in the article it says the search firm will change directions if word is leaked, so...
I think search firms are stupid. Isn't that what we pay John Hartwell to do?
I have my concerns about them as well, but there are several benefits and given the players may actually be essential:
1. Confidentiality. Most have jobs already and don't want their employer to know until at least an initial match has been made.
2. Head Hunter. Kind of a clearinghouse for coaches and schools that can be regularly updated without contacting hundreds of different ADs and coaches.
3. Initial Negotiations. How much a school may pay and how much a coach is looking for, including other benefits, can be discussed casually without getting together.
4. Deniability. May be the most important. Both sides can say that they never spoke or met.
I guess I still have that bad taste in my mouth after we paid the search firm to hire Tim Duryea. :bangwall: :bangwall: :bangwall: :bangwall: :bangwall: :bangwall: :bangwall: :bangwall:
Didn’t the search firm find Tommy Connor and he balked at 2359?

I didn't see Keegan's "fake news" tweet, does anyone have screen shot? Not on his personal or professional page. Did he delete it?

I saw it. I believe it said “check your source” or something like that with a hashtag #fakenews. I did not get a screenshot of it.

Why is our coaching buyout so low? $800k for Matt Wells -- less than he made per year. Why wasn't it 3mm?

I think we could have waited 10+ days to hire until we started realizing how wide spread the fallout of coaching staff is. The program seems to be barely holding on and we need someone ASAP.
I don’t agree. 10 to 14 days it’s reasonable and necessary to make the right higher. Let Wells take whoever he wants. If someone wants to follow Wells, they will. The new coach will have his own guys that he wants to bring in, and he may keep one or two of the current coaching staff. But that’s for him to decide. Just like Smith brought in his own guys. He didn’t keep any of Duryea’s guys and it’s worked out great.

The recruits that want to play at Utah State will embrace the new staff. The recruits that want to go with Wells will find a reason to do that. Relax! The process is necessary to get the right guy.
I didn't know if I would agree with USUblue on a topic, but it appears we do on this one.

Coach Lynch ist awesome. Great guy and not someone I thought was interested but would be a good candidate. AK did I just fall for your sarcasm trap? Rumor is Georgia Tech is interviewing Candidates in NYC during this week as well

I never understood the hate for USUblue. Not saying you are part of it, just seen a ton of posters be hard on him in the last year. For the most part he makes smart rational points. You could say he was over the top in his Duryea hate and there are more classy ways to criticize a bad coach. WIth that said USUblue was not wrong. Duryea was a bad coach and Smith is a big improvement. Him being hard on Duryea had the best interests of USU at heart.

National Football Foundation is meeting in New York. John Hartwell said he was going there to meet with, and counsel with individuals he knows (and probably coaching candidates he knows may be there). Nothing like going to New York City to hide out from prying eyes of the local news and social media.

I've come to respect USUBlue. But I can see why people started hating on him. I mean, USUBlue was right, but the thousands of posts about hiring and having the wrong coach did nothing to expedite a coaching change it just magnified the suffering for us on the message board.

For me it just became white noise. Now that it's over I'm finding that I have to re-condition myself to read his posts.

Welcome aboard then! I think you’ll find that my posts are very consistently pro Utah State only. Coaches, players, and administrators are not Utah State. I worry about what’s best for Utah State. And getting the next coaching search correct is what’s best for Utah State. If that means we lose some assistants, players, so be it. They can be replaced, but getting rid of a bad coach takes years

Thanks I think BJ, but I do take exception with one of your comments. All of the noise did cause Duryea to be replaced I believe 1 year sooner. I would be stuck with him again this year if not for a ground swell of disappointment. It has to start somewhere. I’m not the only one that started it, but I take pride in banging on that drum loud enough that some people heard.

Fans matter. The boosters and fans of Utah State are why there is an athletics program. Never forget that. We have power collectively.

This is the freshest take I’ve seen. Obviously no idea on his source but he is a national writer for USA Today.

We will see how it turns out but it looks like this is going to take awhile and unlikely to end in GA coming back.

I mean no disrespect. And I agree we have power, but I'm jaded I guess because I think our voice isn't as loud as our dollars. Die-hard fans like you can't stand hurting USU by reducing your financial commitment - so you use your voice. I respect that.
But change wasn't going to happen until the die-easy fans took their money away and the finances forced the change. Voices weren't enough. USU made the change when the cost of empty seats hurt more than paying a coach to not coach.

So if this search firm prides itself on no leaks and Hartwell isn’t talking, how does he know? You might as well say the reason Urban Myer just announced he will retire from Ohio State, after the Rose Bowl, is because he wants to come back to Utah and coach the Aggies this time. I guess he could have gone to Gary directly but his post doesn’t seem to indicate that. And no, I’m not saying Gary or Urban are coming. I just think that nobody knows what is going on right now.

I think we could have waited 10+ days to hire until we started realizing how wide spread the fallout of coaching staff is. The program seems to be barely holding on and we need someone ASAP.

I don’t agree. 10 to 14 days it’s reasonable and necessary to make the right higher. Let Wells take whoever he wants. If someone wants to follow Wells, they will. The new coach will have his own guys that he wants to bring in, and he may keep one or two of the current coaching staff. But that’s for him to decide. Just like Smith brought in his own guys. He didn’t keep any of Duryea’s guys and it’s worked out great.

The recruits that want to play at Utah State will embrace the new staff. The recruits that want to go with Wells will find a reason to do that. Relax! The process is necessary to get the right guy.
I didn't know if I would agree with USUblue on a topic, but it appears we do on this one.
Welcome aboard then! I think you’ll find that my posts are very consistently pro Utah State only. Coaches, players, and administrators are not Utah State. I worry about what’s best for Utah State. And getting the next coaching search correct is what’s best for Utah State. If that means we lose some assistants, players, so be it. They can be replaced, but getting rid of a bad coach takes years
Yes, I am happy to have something in common with you. Here's to Utah State!

I liked that thread also. It was nice to be wrong about Wells' prospects last year -- he made a nice turn around and got us back to a 6-7 year. Nothing special, but better than 5-7. Always happy to be wrong if it means USU is doing better.
