Pollard Appreciation - Found Van de Velde

[dualforce]

ran across this and found it interesting...Former ISU AD Bruce Van de Velde, deputy athletic director for Lousiana Tech, was recently named acting AD and promptly employed a search firm to do his search for a new head coach...

I appreciate that JP does the coaching searches on his own and also marvel at how far our entire athletic department has come since BV

I think JP uses search firms at times also. Not sure on that though.

You can argue that two ways. Sometimes search firms are a good idea, and sometimes they aren't.

Uh, no. Pollard used the search firm Baker Parker, out of Atlanta, prior to hiring Rhoads.

okay, then I was wrong...More importantly though I like where we are today as opposed to with BV.

No kidding! Come on Monty, errr Bruce. Defend your practices vs. those of Pollard.

I agree. BVD's various personality quirks prevented him from doing the job properly. You have to look forward to engaging with the fan base, as well as with the coaches and student athletes, to do the AD job.

BVDV did post on CF for some time, his username is on vacation. Monty is not BVDV.

I hope he has forgotten about this site.

i dont for 2 reasons...

1) Chris wants as many people on here as possible. Chris' wish is my command.

2) I would love to serve Monty crow when we (JP) are successful by HIS standards.

Are we (JP) like the Borg? If so, then we will be successful, because resistance is futile.

I think the press release on the director's cup standings has quieted him a bit...what did it say, prior to JP's arrival we didn't rank and now we finished 22nd in the country?? Heck of a job JP!!

Louisiana Tech could do a heck of a lot worse than bringing Dan McCarney on board. Skladany's available for work, too. You've got to think Van De Velde's got them on some sort of list.

That would be two good arguments. Good job

"We are hearing that the University is very interested in Terry Bowden (North Alabama Head Coach), Gus Malzahn (Auburn Offensive Coordinator), Brent
Venables (Oklahoma Defensive Coordinator), Ruffin McNeill (Former Texas Tech Defensive Coordinator) and Joe DeForest (Oklahoma State Associate
Head Coach/Speical Teams/Safeties coach). According to our sources, Malzahn is the front runner in replacing departed Head Coach Derek Dooley. We
are hearing that North Alabama Head Coach, Terry Bowden, will interview."

Can La. Tech. really afford any of these guys? I would think it would take a big money school to get them.
