Clayton Christian, the commissioner of higher education, was involved in Montana's interview process and is expected to approve the contract. Sources have told us the feeling with Hauck and the administration was the Hauck interviewed very well
Not sure of the chain of command here, and may have missed a few along the way:
Coach reports to AD
AD Reports to School President
School President reports to Commissioner of HE
Commissioner reports to BOR
Why in the holy f*** does the Commissioner of HE have to "bless" a hire made three levels down in the organization? it's not goddamned wonder shit can't get done at these red tape factories. :roll: :roll:
You're telling me the president of the university does not have the authority to hire a coach? Eff that. There's no WAY I'd ever want to be that hamstrung.
They don't really approve the hiring or the person per se, but the contract. I suppose given the right set of circumstances that they could reject a hire proposed by one of the presidents (chancellors at the satellite colleges), but I would suggest that it is a VERY rare occurrence.
