Well at least someone gets it. There's nothing wrong with considering, interviewing, etc your friends for a job. But at the end of the day, not giving other candidates a fair chance at the same job, who are not your friends, is an unfair practice. A lot of the world, even the US, doesn't work this way of course. I'm not going to claim I'm a saint - I've done this previously in my career but there's been personal experiences that have made me shy away from this as a practice.

I was talking to my Dad about this last night. He's a basketball fan, but not a stupid message board poster, so he really didn't know who TJ was. I obviously was not a fan, so I'm not sure I got my dad's honest reaction.
But....he did say that you would hope for just appearance sake that Jamie would wait a week to hire TJ and it might benefit TJ to wait.
But he can't really admit that. AT the very least, he can't say he talked to an existing head coach before today. So the appearance is going to be he hired TJ in 48 hours or whenever it goes official.
and if that is true ames high probably just got stronger for next year when his son plays with Lipsey
Exactly. There is nothing he could do outside legal issues or debauchery that will get him fired. He’s a Cyclone legend and will be here as long as he wants.
The head coaching resume obviously isn’t going to blow anyone away and I get the hesitation with that. But it’s also easy to see the positives in this hire that are significantly better then head coach’s who check the box with x and o’s and have longer head coaching success via win loss. Yea there is a chance it blows up in 5 years but think this is also the quickest solution to a rebuild compared to other realistic options while uniting the program.
Yes, we know you’re okay with ignorance.
Are you also in the world were risk taking is punished if it doesn’t work. Is that the case here?
An awful lot of people seem to know how this process went down. Anyone care to share how far up their *** they retrieved the information on JP’s flawed process with this hire?
Will be for TJ. You’re a teacher or government worker aren’t you.
