LSU hired a Committee before, I don't think they did for saban. There was talk of an ole miss alum that helped with it, Sean Tuohy. But then I talked with someone that gave a somewhat different story.
Coulda swore there was a search committee for Saban, but I'm only to public info and my foggy memory. Need to buy you a drink one day.
I'll buy. I know, same here, too much to remember from years gone by. There is talk going around about who Fla is going to hire. So will use this for a pay raise. So many schools don't want to be hunting for a new coach right now, don't blame them. Oh Fla will get a few calls, might not be the ones they want.
If an AD needs to hire a search committee to come up with the name of a coach he should hire then he shouldn't be an AD. A big part of an AD's job is knowing who the good coaches are in all sports in case he needs to make a hire.
