I don't trust Hambrick with a FB hire.
But 'search committees' are not exactly very reliable either.
Worked pretty good for us when we use to do it.... Parrish, Chaump, Donnan, Aberdeen, Huckaby, Donovan......I would take those years over hand picked guys such as White, Snyder, Jirsa, Herrion, Doc, and Donnie.... The only exceptions is Pruett and D'Antoni..... The fact is our Athletic Department has played it "safe" since the 90's and really hasn't put much time or investment into the hiring process and we are slowly paying the price for this.
Go back to how we use to do it... Form a search committee made up of 2 BOG's, former player, AD, and a member of the athletic faculty.... Have them make a recommendation to President after a "real" search is done. AD doesn't like it then his A$$ can hit the door.
I would much rather have Geoff Sheils (BOG), Chris Miller (BOG). Chad Pennnington, Hamrick, and Karen McComas (Faculty) decide our next coach over "just" Hamrick any day.
