This is not a vent board or any other kind of therapy. Before you hit the POST button, ask yourself if your contribution will add to the level of discussion going on.

Important notes on articles:

• Please do not copy entire articles into your post; rather, provide links to them.. We are now links-only for ALL Internet publications. If only a small portion of the article pertains to your post, Fair Use allows you to copy those one or two paragraphs, provided you cite the author's name and the publication for which he writes. Otherwise, put a link in the HTTP Link box.
• Even if you're copying a reference to an article, provide a link to the page from which the article came. We're trying to cut down on duplicate topics, and the posting process will check the link to your article to see if it's already being discussed on this board. At the very least, you'll save yourself some grief on the boards.
• If your first reaction after reading the article you're going to share is the author is uninformed / stupid / a jerk / all of the above, it's not worth sharing with anyone. Not every article needs to be discussed. The more the hair-pulling articles are discussed (e.g. ESPN Page 2), the more the authors will write hair-pulling articles.

A good AD keeps an updated list of potential hires by NDoggie78

This would reduce the time and they could be partially vetted as well.
Also, I have posted about salaries in the CWS - a pretty good indicator of what it takes - I believe if we were offering competitive money it would improve the list of candidates and speed of hire.

Obviously paying the big bucks for a coach would impact the budget - but a winning team might generate more dollars.

Finally, they have found donors who have sponsored (and defrayed costs) of football and basketball coaches, why not find that donor or group of donors?

Again, all these things point to the real problem - it's in my subject - a good AD. I think this is where the problem lies.

We will potentially have a LOT of coaching hires/coaching turnover because of the age of many of our coaches - Kelly, McGraw, Brey, Jackson, Corrigan aren't youngsters. Who do we want making these hires?
