re: How does our administration keep such a tight lid on FB hires?

I guess my point would be that what happened in TN could very well happen here because for various reasons you (a) have to trust those in power to make the hiring decision, and (b) recognize for various reasons as well that it is going to be hush hush until a decision is actually made. If it were otherwise then probably no coach would ever be hired.

It wouldn’t be advisable or feasible to seek some kind of public approval of a hire or release trial balloons before a decision is made. With our hires it just happens to be there was no public outcry like there was in the TN but there certainly could have been had the authorities picked the “wrong guy.”
