Selection Committee

Apparently you have never been part of a professional hiring process

Exactly. For several reasons it Cannot be 100% transparent.

I can't understand bulletin board posters that naively believe that they must be informed of everything and that their opinion counts. Haslam fulfilled his duties as AD, conducted the recruitment and made his decision, and really has no accountability to eGriz. As comparison, KH is not an elected official on your homeowner's assoc. board. Just my :twocents: :|

I believe that this "hiring" was done a lot different than when Pflugrad or even Ash was hired in that Haslam actually went after certain people that he thought would be a good fit for the job. This was not your typical post the job opening, collect a bunch of resumes and applications, then interview. I think that Haslam selected who he wanted to apply and approached them. It would have been public relations death for him to publicly announce the names of the people he went after for the job. I am sure there were regular applicants as well but it is better in a situation like this to just not name names.

My only problem with the hire is the leaking of information prematurely.

 

[NorthEndZoneDan]

Much like the Pflu firing, there is no inherent right to know.

I would disagree on the hiring side of the equation. Any time there is public money involved there is some basic right to know. This is not a blanket statement, certainly there are limits. However, public money at a public institution should mean some level of public knowledge. If someone in the public sector doesn't like the idea of the tax paying public having a basic level of knowledge, then there is always the private sector. Firing people is a whole different animal and the world of sharks and lawyers makes it almost impossible to divulge any information. Hiring someone, not such much of feeding frenzy from the sharks.

I am pretty sure in Montana, by law human resource decisions are allowed to be kept private. It applies to public employees from the roads crew in Flathead County to the Football Coach at the University of Montana. So, I don't think there is any basic right to know. I believe the job description is public, as well as salary of the position.

I've been involved in hiring hundreds if not thousands of individuals. There were some issues for hiring of a state employee that were not followed on this hire, and the handling of "leaked" information was atrocious. IMO though most of that was just inexperience.

Am I the only one who thinks each season ticket holder should have a say in who gets hired? They should also get to call a few plays per game and have a say in creating the schedule. You paid the price of a nice dinner to attend six home games so you are entitled to help run the show.

damn straight! I can remember Tricky Dicky diagramming plays for the Redskins

The next time I get on a commercial airliner, please warn me if you are on the same flight. I do not want CDA thinking his airfare entitles him to run the show.

Why not? If I paid $240 to come to Missoula (and have to fucking stop in SLC), I should be permitted to land that fucker in a crosswind.

I fully concur! Have you seen how much they charge you for a double crown ditch? And that bullshit canned response on Alaska Airlines, "Sorry sir, the crew feel like you've had enough of the complimentary beer". Fuckers!

Oh, Alaska Airlines is the worst. Complimentary beer my ass! They make you pay after your eighth one if the flight is under an hour. And they get all bent out of shape when you crack the duty free vodka. It's like, "Hey, sugar tits, I paid an extra $14 for Business Select, I should be able to rip a few barrel rolls if I want."

Someone finally gets it!
It's a simple economic equation. You pack a plane full of weighty liquor and I'm doing you a favor by consuming it and then ejecting frozen urine cubes over Cheney and Ephrata. Less weight = better fuel economy. I should be a Platinum-Gold Alaskan Airline member instead of having to be escorted off by security.

Totally! Virgin 'Merica is the only way to go. I sat next to a lady on that airline once who, when asked if she'd like anything to drink, ordered four Coors Lights and a glass of champagne. The flight attendant brought her a six pack and a mini bottle of champagne and said, "Let's just get this out of the way now." The lady then drank it all while watching softcore porn on her iPad. She was already married. I checked.

EDIT: BTW, the flight was LAX to SEA. Just over two hours.

 

[behappp]

OK
I have to admit what happened before the truth leaks out.

The selection committee consisted of just Royce and me, same as it was for DeCuire.

In both cases we sat down and analyzed film of all the applicants. Then we borrowed Nate Silver and using advanced algorithms on every play that Stitt has ever called we decided that going for it on 4th down made a lot more sense than kicking off for both halves.

Once we decided on Bob, we called in Kent and told him who we had chosen and that he was to announce it 5 days before he was going to formally announce so we could see what the expert consensus was on Egriz.

So basically, if it's a success you can thank me and Royce. If it's a failure then we'll blame Kent. We should know right after the NDSU game, which, if we lose, a fire Kent and Bob thread should be started and will get about 200 posts. Most of those posts will come from Scat fans who are still nursing their sore butts from the arse kicking they took on 11/22.

Hope this helps Mr Spsyk.

 

[jodcon]

Don't we have better things to argue about like uniform combos and scoreboard ads and important shit like that?

Who cares about coaches and facility upgrades and crap like that, we want everything to be a production...like a Cirque show only with more violence.

There is only one woman that fits that description, you sat next to EverettGriz's wife. She drinks that much on any trip home, who could blame her? The soft core porn explains their relationship when it comes to their home life. Let's just say that since the honeymoon in '94, she has been silently disappointed. It's a poor kept secret that Everett isn't exactly a proponent of the "spread offense"...

You might have solved the mystery of this perfect woman. What do you say, EG? She was about 5'7" (5'11 with the heels), 120 lbs max, blonde, huge jacks (Maybe fake, but subtle. You know, under the muscle). I'm thinking she might have been Mrs. EverettGriz. As she downed her six pack of CL, she kept saying, "Six packs are no substitute for girth."

Did she look like a young Jessica Lange with a slight crease that denotes sexual frustration above her nose? If so, that was her!

 

[George Ferguson]

Simis is defintely No. 1 on the current roster IMHO. BUT the roster could look very different in February.

What does this have to do with Jessica Lange, airline travel or EG's impotence?
