Then why doesn't anyone else do it? Leath commented that it's "Probably" out of the ordinary for him to be involved in the manner he was with the coaching search. Whatever, I'm done with this, it's circle the wagons time I get it. Go President Leath...hooray...Even Bubu is on board the Leath Train right now.

This place is so much nicer with Gunnerclone and Twocoach on ignore.
Now if you all would stop quoting their messages.

You don't get it at all. It isn't about circling the wagons. You are jsb level meltdown right now over TJ not being hired.
Not really. Chizik maybe..as he was a young up and coming DC from Texas. CPR wasn't so much. He was considered a good hire at the time because he was one of the few who actually wanted to be at IsU and that is rare for fball.
on the one hand I'd like to almost give CPR a couple more years as along as his current staff remains in tact. We have just gotten to the point of having respectable facilities and now a fairly new stadium and I'd like to see how this staff can recruit to that for Two more years. I do think this is one of if not his best staff since he's been here. One thing I'll say about CPR and his team's is that we are far more competitive than we've ever been even though it doesn't show in the win/loss column. Outside a few complete blow outs, we've been pretty close in a lot of games. Whereas under Dmac we would get absolutely destroyed a lot.
Usually the Head Coach get told by the AD how much in total he has to spend on staff. It is then up to the head coach to select the staff and set their pay by allocating it from the total ok'd by the AD.
As far as Leath. I really hope he is involved in the next fball coaching search. Like others have said, I don't trust JP to make another fball hire. We should be damn glad we have a president that gives a crap about Athletics. I was around in the early 80's amd there were very high level discussions within the university to consider just dropping athletics all together...the AD at the time was a black hole on revenue and the deans and president were sick of paying for an empty stadium and empty Hilton
I concur with Beyerball Johnson.
Sorry. Sometimes Blazing Saddles references just randomly fall out of me.
I tend to agree with this, as long as he still has the respect and attention of the team. Given the player attrition and some of the on-field performances last year, it certainly appeared that he may have lost the team. If that's the case, then its no use keeping him.

@TravisHines21: Virginia Tech's Isaac Chew and Murray State's William Small are two names I hear consistently as potential candidates for Prohm's staff.
@TravisHines21: But I don't think there will be much if any official movement until next week.

Those two plus Otz will be fantastic. If Hines is throwing those two names out there the rest should be just a formality and will probable be announced Monday or Tuesday
According to Rivals, he's never signed anyone with more than 3 stars. Don't know how accurate this is.

I don't get the hate on Leath. Pollard was set to hire his undeserving friend with no search process. Leath told him to do a search. Pollard did a search which included Otz, and it turned out that Otz wasn't the best choice available.
I think it's great the President told the AD to do his job and not half *** it.

Link? I think that is just speculation as I've seen no proof. That said, I don't mind Leath's involvement either.
