Korn Ferry to assist with their coaching search. For those of you with short memories one Pat Haden retained Korn Ferry to help find Lane Kiffin's replacement. Two months and $600k later Korn Ferry's Jed Hughes (same guy ASU is using) brought them their former assistant coach who was about to be run out of Montlake because he wasn't even good enough for UW. I guess it isn't KF's problem that Haden hired them and took their recommendation but you would think someone would learn from history?

At the very minimum you would expect a thorough vetting of applicants. Sark had some demons that he was not hiding well at all. or maybe they did uncover stuff and Haden was willing to overlook It all. Anyone that pulls a coach off a bus at 2:00 am to fire him when he can do it just a few hours later is an impulsive fool with a short man complex.
Not to be confused with Cornhole Fairy.
Dude should just stick to music
Korn Ferry
there's a blast from the past
I can understand outsourcing intake of say a COO or Director of HR
I never understand outsourcing hiring
NCAA coaching pool is a very small pond
and very few fish are ever in really play for a particular slot
guessing less than three even for a plum like 'bama
I guess Korn Ferry knows football like no one else?
Shouldn't AD's be making this pick? If they have to contract this out, they are saying they aren't qualified to be the AD (which in Haden's and Swann's cases, were obviously true). If you can't judge the qualifications and reputation of a coach, give it up.
