It can save a coach from ruffling feathers. Say a guy like Jamion Christian wants to see what's out there but doesn't want it to appear like he is looking to go anywhere to his AD/players/donors/fans. A search firm can act as that "middle man" for coaches in this spot. 1 Quote

mes102 Posted April 4, 2017 Report Posted April 4, 2017 (edited) While I was trying to find any more rumblings on twitter about the next 48 hours, I came across this: I know this isn't Akron related, but for me, I may be watching if this turns to be a dumpster fire or a genius hire to see if this starts a trend on the Women's side.

Blue & Gold Posted April 4, 2017 Report Posted April 4, 2017 Every day I've been running out of "Likes" by around 8:00 a.m.! So I just wanted to thank everyone here for making this such an entertaining, educational & exciting process! 2 Quote
morris buttermaker Posted April 4, 2017 Report Posted April 4, 2017 Just an FYI that I did not see on here ... and as a proponent of an appropriate hire given the financial situation at UA......Buffalo whacked 4 sports today saying they did not have the resources Quote

ROCK1 Posted April 4, 2017 Report Posted April 4, 2017 Schools go through coaches' agents. That way a coach can say he hasn't been contacted. Quote

ZachTheZip Posted April 4, 2017 Report Posted April 4, 2017 All his sources just left for Duquesne with Dambrot. The athletics department is going to be a lot less "leaky" with info from now on. Quote
zvillezip Posted April 4, 2017 Report Posted April 4, 2017 Loyer and Stewart appear on paper to be good candidates. Both with Akron ties. Jim Christian would be the worst choice ever. 1 Quote

I should have mentioned this earlier as well. Many coaches have agents. And to make all of this activity seam even more "disloyal" than people already think it is, these guys are always looking for better opportunities for the coaches they work for. Quote
Sportsjunkie330 Posted April 4, 2017 Report Posted April 4, 2017 Jim Christian has a job already! No need to worry about him coming to UA and cutting his salary in half. Quote
