Apparently we were pointed to our new women's basketball coach by the University President's 17 year old son. 

I am not knocking the hire but let's hope we don't have to pay the Search firm. 

He is certainly older than 17. 

 

17 day search, my bad on reading comprehension!  Updated, though the point remains.

I was thinking the same thing.

I am sure there is a basic fee to compensate their assembly of a candidate list. But, I believe that search firms makes the big bucks on a %age of the salary of the eventual candidate that was hired on their recommendation. I don’t think Boyd had her resume on the street and was well under the radar. So it sounds like Boyd was an outlier and not on that list. But who knows…
