Michigan hires a search firm for their new coach!

[froggopher]

They will pay up to $250K for some firm called Korn Ferry(?) Man, they better get moving pretty quit! It will take awhile to get their Michigan Man! Go Gophers! Sure glad we don't have to go through this crap again!!

This isn't the most surprising thing in the world. I probably wouldn't want an interim AD making the most important hire in the department. Between an interim AD and a search firm, I probably choose search firm. They can't sit around and wait for a new AD first because then all the coaches will be gone.

Although they probably should have thought about this a little better and avoided a situation where an interim AD would be put in a position to hire a football coach.

Here is some context:

ESPN: Firm screening Michigan applicants

Michigan says a recruiting firm is screening applicants for the Wolverines' football coaching vacancy.

Associate athletic director Dave Ablauf says Friday that Korn Ferry will be paid at least $80,000 for its work and possibly up to $250,000.

Go Gophers!!

With froggopher's recent track record in predicting coach hires, I'm now predicting Michigan will get either Les Miles or Jim Harbaugh, potentially both.

Thank you Gopher07! I did not know my own talent was worthy of this fantastic honor! Go Gophers!!

Must not be going well. I can't imagine a Harbaugh or a Miles would show interest and then they would need a search firm to get the deal signed. A sign the times are changing in Ann Arbor.

For Michigan, I hope this is the worst idea since the kids at Rancho Carne brought in Sparky Polastri to choreograph their cheerleading routine.

I will say Michigan will get neither. They need to find an Athletic Director. Doing any search without the New AD is futile at best. All the will the recruiting clock is ticking. This is a dumpster fire.

How toxic has this job become?

I have heard the interim AD will be the FT AD. Just a matter of time
