It depends if that coach is currently coaching if we zoom or not. Zoom might be easier for a coach who has other responsibilities. If we hire someone who is not coaching, then I've lost interest already

Honestly, in the Zoom era, we may not even see flights go out. All you have to do is send a code and it's an immediate interview. It's also more efficient. If we’re trying to really go out and grab a big name (I honestly don’t think we are) then you’d roll up in a jet. If we’re going after a former coordinator? Zoom it is. Lol That's fair. I think it would be a much better look to be able to travel out, but if time is of the essence, it's an option. I'd like to hear more about not thinking we'll get a big name. Baseball and Golf have both gotten some pretty serious hires, I'd like to think Brent will get an equally big hire. This is certainly his test, however.

I’m confident the search and talks were started a few weeks ago. Also, any good AD has a short list in his pocket to start with when this stuff happens.

By big hires I mean that I’m not expecting Dan Mullen to be dining at Sisters any time soon. Not that we won’t make a splash, but I think whoever it is will already be acquainted with Troy.

A couple of us at work today were discussing with one of the anesthesia docs an opening created in that group recently by the departure of a doc. The question was asked if they had any prospects for replacement and the doc we were talking to said yeah. He said that he recently had somebody who wanted to interview and after 3 unsuccessful attempts to match schedules, the prospective physician asked if he could just interview via Zoom. The interview never happened because our doc said he wasn't going to hire someone based on a video interview. He wants to see how the person walks, how they talk, how they interact with other docs, nurses, and techs, and that couldn't be done via video. I think the same could be said in this situation. We would be the ones traveling for the interview, at least initially, but if i'm a prospective TROY hire, I want the people hiring me to come see me, not video chat me. Maybe not everyone is that way, but personal interaction is important, in my opinion. I recognize there are exceptions, and time constraints and bowl season may well be exceptions but I'd sure hope we would make the effort to go see in person anybody we are seriously interested in hiring.

NB was, worked out great Unless whomever we interview has been actively involved at Troy in the past 5 years, being acquainted with Troy doesn't mean much. Today's Troy, both the town and the university, is NOTHING like it was 5 years ago. About the only thing that has remained constant is Dear Leader, and the fact that Mrs Dear Leader appears to never want to set foot on campus, preferring instead, to stay in Montgomery.

If that happens old coach O might be a Ragin Cajun Unless you're just itching for a sexual assault or sexual impropriety scandal, teams need to stay away from him. Unless they have the millions necessary to fix the problems he creates.

Got a couple of Jets coming in. One from Dallas and the other from Memphis. 315CS is just passing through, owned by a private company in the panhandle. 5WC is an interesting one. Trying to find more about it. EDIT: 5WC is registered to Midstar Transport, LLC, based in Midland, TX. There are no important records about it, but the registered address is a bank in Midland. I think it's nothing, personally. Does anyone have any media with Troy using private planes? I know they took one to SBC media day 2021, but I can't find any videos or images with the plane in it. I would think they would use the same company for something like this.

It's not looking like that's the case this time around. 2 arrivals today are both accounted for.

Orgeron said he will not coach LSU in a bowl game and he is headed to Destin. Interestingly, We had a flight leave this afternoon from Troy International Space Port to Destin. Tail number N315CS. I would take The Cookie Monster.

Any updates we got to have our guy picked out by now. Could AD be waiting to see what the PF schools are going to do and try to target a big time Coordinator?

Word on the other board is that Jack is tossing pennies at guys. If we are cheap and looking for our usual Chinese knockoff like the ones that litter our campus, we may be here a while.

This one is odd. Coming in from Nashville but the plane is registered to the State of South Carolina.
