Full disclosure: I’ve never been much of a search firm guy when it comes to colleges hiring a new athletic director or head coach, never understood paying tens of thousands of dollars for the sake of identifying, vetting and suggesting candidates for a particular position.
Which often just means recycling the same set of names over and over as positions open and colleges are willing to pony up big bucks instead of doing their own legwork.
When full disclosure doesn’t apply: In the case of UNLV and its pursuit of the person who will next run athletics.
