[QUOTE="slugboy, post: 920502, member: 282"] This isn't like a standard interview process because the timing is now so tight. Rumors are that we've made a couple of offers and there are rumors that we haven't. In a normal process, Batt and the hiring team would stack rank the candidates and offer the one at the top of the list. For various reasons, things may not work out. There are probably people on this board today who have had a great career but never knew that they were the third choice for the job that got them started. Or that they were the fifth choice for their big break. [B][I]There are three different places to be as a candidate: offered; blacklisted; waitlisted. If you're not blacklisted, you're not out of the game yet. [/I][/B] We're making a lot of guesses as to Batt's motivations and his internal thinking processes and his constraints. I've seen managers that want to hire "their people". You can spot that really quickly, because they immediately hire their people. There's almost no interview process. Hiring Chadwell or Willie Fritz or Riley or somebody that Batt doesn't have a tight personal relationship is not hiring "his guy". It's hiring an outsider. It's an unknown quantity for Batt. You do that for a few reasons--that person has a great reputation, you need skills that you don't have in your organization, or you've been directed to hire from outside, or you believe that the internal people are just not as good as people who work elsewhere. [B][I]If I were in Batt's shoes, my main talent is on the money side of the business, and I want to get back to that ASAP. What I would want in a Head Coach is (1) somebody I can sell to donors and fans and (2) someone who gets the job done, solves problems and doesn't create problems. That's it. [/I][/B] [/QUOTE]
