So now Glass is going to use a search firm?

No not at all. A lot of times they are used for negotiations/contract stuff, despite the name. Mizzou announced they were using one, and then hired Martin 2 days later.
A camel is a horse designed by a committee.
Plus no one person will have to take the blame.
My confidence in Glass' ability to make the right hire just plummeted.
They hire the search firm to help with negotiations and not to pick the coach.
Dakich is a troll. There's no guarantee of making a great hire, but this is standard procedure. He said he was going to talk to a bunch of people, and wouldn't rule out using the search firm. If Dan truly believes that any AD makes these decisions all alone, then he's really, really dumb.
But I suspect he's just trolling. I can't wait until he says how stupid Glass is for hiring Donovan over Alford.
Worked out pretty well. The senior class came to play for him and are now the winningest class in school history. The junior class was recruited by him, but never played for him.
Sooooooooo, it could mean they've found the guy and simply hired the firm to hammer out the contract details.
Not saying that but maybe. What I am saying is the search firm is not going to find the coach for IU.
Part of what search firms do is vet the background. IU may have found their guy, but part of what the firms do is check on background for any skeletons in the closet. Anything embarrassing that could hurt the school.
Being reported that these guys were used for the Sampson hire. Not extreme vetting there.
They didn't have to hire a firm to know all that. Just had to watch Sports Center, like, once back then.
To hire Sam Wyche? Maybe he should have. And Knight helped with Mal. Then again, no one used search firms then.
