Pre-selection?????????

Postby Henroid on Fri Jan 18, 2013 3:48 pm

Based on Coach Brock's comment that he was contacted by "Eric to gauge his interest in the position", it sounds as if Zaidy had already preselected his coach. Why then tell us that it would be announced nationally?
It's always been my philosophy that it doesn't matter if the glass is half full or half empty......... It simply means there's more room for Captain Morgan

Did you listen to EZ's comments? He said he obviously worked with Brock at BC but that is not the reason he is our coach.

From firing to hiring, to timing, this all remains a mystery to me. There's some 'bullshooting' going on. 8)

you bet! He had this done before it started and there is no doubt about it! If there is a national search, you do not call the guy and ask him his interest. you open the search and go through the appl;icants. Any other way your selection process is going to be biased. and his clearly was. I doubt anyone really got a fair shake in the interview process. That is inexcusable.

I wish this guy the best, but this whole thing is atrocious. Buddies picking buddies, from an irrelevant BC program no less.

Because he is a freaking liar and has little to no respect for UD fans. Sounds like the crap that came out of Andy Reid's mouth for 14 years. You have to have nothing but contempt for the audience when you tell them such an obvious lie.

Question totally out of my league here but does the state of Delaware have a minority-applicant law, i.e. the NFL's Rooney rule. The reason I ask is the reason why Chip Kelly is now the Eagles coach but the heir apparent, his OC Helfrich(sp), hasn't been officially named the new Duck coach yet. In Oregon they need to post the job, like Delaware did, and there is some kind of minority requirement that must be met before they can give the job to someone. Didn't know if there is a similar case for Delaware.

the absurdity of it is what give me hope that Zdaddy knows something - lots to like about K.C. but a re-charge will not hurt

There are mumblings out of Piscataway that Cohen wasn't even interviewed...

"Selection process" was a complete sham. Starting to feel sorry for Brock.

It's the year 2013, out of those three sessions, wouldn't UD want to broadcast to its fans the 3:15 part most of all????
