The hiring of this firm is a smoke screen and nothing else. This doesn't worry me at all. I would interested to see just how many other schools have hired this firm to just put up the front that they are using them as a resource for a legit search.

I agree. If Kentucky did hire a search committee it's nothing more than a distraction or at the very least a 'secretary staff" for MB, so he can concentrate/focus on getting the right man. My theory is that MB probably gave the search committee a list of candidates to contact and report back their interests level and/or setup interview times. No way would the search committee have any input on UKs next coach. Sounds like more of a support service if anything, if its even legit at all.
