That was my reaction, too. This just feels so hasty.

Clearly trying to avoid the kind of criticism that a lengthy process would bring.

They have to decide on the shape of the table before anything gets started.

Especially on GH because that's where the opinions that really matter are.

Pitino was quoted as saying "Just hire someone who won't fire me"

(That's a joke, not a real quote)

Did they decide on having Caribou Coffee or Dunn Bros?

The first step in forming a search committee is coming up with a committee who will decide who will be on the search committee.

That should be an easy decision. You have to go with Caribou. Going with Cossetta Eventi or D'Amico and Sons catering is a decision one just doesn't make hastily.

Of course you'll need to hire a professional firm that will be responsible for forming the committee that will decide who is on the search committee.

Only after you hired a consulting group to determine the criteria that the professional firm will use to form the committee to decide who will be on the search committee.

Now that we are making the early decisions, I feel much better about the pace of this process.

I hope it's not too late to make an early decision.

I would have laughed if this wasn't so probable.
