Did I ever say Cobb should be fired? Why is just naming Satterfield so much worse? Had Elliot wanted the job that is exactly what would have taken place. At least we would not have wasted time and money flying in these other candidates, putting them up in hotels, and giving them any false notion that they were being considered. Plus Scott could have been telling recruits he is the HC for the past two weeks.goapps93 wrote:And that's a better process? That would have been the absolute worst way to go about it. I'm sure CC did have Scott as the frontrunner before an announcement was ever. There is nothing wrong with that. It happens all the time. Bosses often know who they want to hire before interviews take place and they pretty much have to be blown out of the water by an unanticipated canditate to change their mind. Maybe Horton didn't blow it out of the water, maybe the bar was too high since CC appears to have wanted Scott anyway, we don't know. All of these accusations and criticism of Cobb are being thrown around based on nothing but perceived beliefs. Sheesh, talk about a flawed process, yeah, let's call for someone's job because we assume something out of sorts happened. Applications were accepted, interviews were conducted, a choice was made. What more could have been done to show that there were other candidates besides Scott? My guess is nothing that would have satisfied the Cobb naysayers.JTApps1 wrote:Maybe Kgfish has a point that we should be concerned about the process being used. I think most people are fine with Scott being the head coach, but what if the choice had been another Capel or Buzz type hire? Just because the result is what you wanted doesn't mean the process was performed correctly. Maybe that's not the way it went down, but it sure appears Scott was the choice all along. If so they should have just named him HC two weeks ago and not wasted anyone's time. I'm sure a lot of Mountaineer fans would have been less stressed lately.
Maybe it was an HR issue. Here at my work we had a new HR Director brought in and now we must hold interviews for every position (PT or FT) in the company. No more promotions are given to anyone. There have been a ton of jobs posted that were basically already filled since the new process was put in place. So now we have to put interview panels together and waste everyone's time and give people false hope when the decision was already made. In almost every case we guess who will get the job before anyone is even interviewed. Same situation here. Why even bother?
