Hugh Yoshida? Hmmmmmm ...

[poidog]

well, at least there are no business people on the committee. if anything it looks like a group of people who will ask the right questions to make sure we don't get another Gib who pooped on things like compliance and academics...

[browndog]

Hugh Yoshida? Hmmmmmm ...

Hey maybe he will recommend Van Appen again!!!

[RedZone]

So from what I see new coach will have a degree of some sort, will be a student, in good health, can throw and hit a baseball and be a friend of Hugh Yoshida. May be knows Stevie Wonder?

Exactly right. I don't see anyone that knows "football" or what makes a good football coach. Seem like too many Admins. Are they looking for a coach or an Administrator? Wait....HC is an Administrator no? So they are looking for an Admin Puppet?

[cabanalane]

Hahahahahaha.

Put a couple of former players on the panel like leonard peters and nate jackson

If not them, someone else. Or maybe even some former coaches. I can imagine the interviews. No one will ask one football question. If they want to talk about policy and budgets, maybe I should apply too...Go Bows!!
