I wonder if Rob Myers is being considered for the job....
I'm really hoping for someone outside the current athletic department,
I'm with you on that. I was just wondering...

Rob could be a good one. I think some will consider it a stretch. Fundraising is going to be more important going forward.

Gotta be careful with that. That's what Texas thought it was getting with Steve Patterson. Brilliant money maker for the program, but couldn't pick personnel at all.
I want someone who can recognize talent and winners. Money will come with winning. Fundraising is big, but I wanna keep winning first and foremost...

I think these days the ADs hire professional searching committees to find coaches.

Excellent point. But if my memory serves me, Texas had Oliver Luck as their number 1, who would have been great for fundraising & hiring ability but he didn't want to be the guy to can Mack Brown.

So Texas went with Patterson who was much too pro sports focused. He gets a bad rap at Texas, but honestly he just made the donors too mad for not letting them influence every decision. He's just got a cantankerous personality.

Del Conte on the other hand seems to be able to walk that fine line between changing things & appeasing donors. He'd make a heck of a politician.

I've heard nothing about Mr. Hill's replacement to date. You would think that something would slip out as tonight they are having a retirement party for Mr. Hill.......... At least who they are interviewing outside of the inside candidates.

What? A retirement party & they didn't invite all of us? Preposterous!

I'd prefer we go with an outside hire, someone who's a known commodity & can come in & keep building on the recent success in the same way that Keller is doing with recruiting following Underwood.

But if they go with an inside hire, I'm going to want a serious explanation as to why that person was the best hire before I jump on board. And I'll want to know who else they considered & interviewed as well.

I think I'll evaluate whoever they pick (internal/external) based on the track record in there previous role. We are the best in the conference so it's got expectations.

From inside source. They are not considering Rob Meyers. Rob probably makes more money what he is doing with the radio broadcasts anyway. It would be very hard to replace Rob Meyers as well.

Thanks. The key question for me is are they seriously considering outside candidates?

I have been informed that it will be someone from the outside but you know that can always change.

I understand that interviews are underway. Let's hope for a great hire.

Sweet!

Do we have a Sawmill representative sitting in the interviews? We need someone to advocate for all our brilliant ideas.

He'd knock it out of the park. Literally not a better fundraising hire out there.

I'm in it for balance. If you don't hear the really terrible ideas, then you won't realize just how great the best ideas are.

Can't wait for the article Isaac!

And are we sure this isn't a prank by the bearkats? They've sullied the good name of the last Tennessee Governor who moved to Texas.

For those who want an early read on his background, here's his Peay profile:

But I'm 100% sure Isaac's writeup will be much better.

Texas ties(Texas AM Commerce) which has now really grown... SLC ties(McNeese)... Lets hope he can bring everyone together.. He seems like a go getter and he is a younger man.

Those Commerce ties might come in handy depending on how the football season goes.

Their HC is in my top 5 if we need a new coach.
