I am reluctantly going to reply.

If I'm not mistaken, Clay has not had a football coach since November 10th 2014. It's 2015 and Clay still does not have a coach.

With all due respect to the committee, it's hard for me to understand all the "taking their time to make the right decision" stuff.

If they have 27 applications to choose from, I'm willing to bet 17 of them were weeded out in the first hour of the first meeting, which leaves 10 viable candidates.

The next seven days could serve for vetting those remaining ten. This time could also be utilized by members to discuss those applicants via phone calls, visits and emails. A lot can be talked about in seven days in this day and time.

Meet again and within two hours have it down to 5 or 6. Spend the next hour polishing questions you want to ask the applicants...the questions should be the easy part if you have a clue.

The following day, schedule interviews.

In the meantime, members stay connected and keep discussing the applicants until interviews begin.

Hire one or two of em and let em go to work.

If the committee is making more of this than that, then IMHO they're making too much out of it.

Again, we haven't had a football coach since November 10th, it's January 1, 2015 and we still haven't interviewed the first one???

Maybe I'm out of line here. Hopefully allllllllllllll this time helps the committee hit a grand slam home run. We shall see.

Excellent post Skinnypig. No one wanted a rush job, but as you have stated, there's been plenty of time to get the job done right. Another thing that makes you go huh.
