You can pluck sentences from my post that you think are easy to knock down instead of addressing the statements in context of the rest of the post, where they’re meant to be read and understood alongside the reasoning presented. But it won’t make for a very illuminating conversation. Effort was put into explaining my thought process, if you don’t want to address it then don’t quote me expecting a serious conversation.
This is not a normal hiring process. I do not care that it was reported that Doug Williams “didn’t know” his son was interviewing, that’s not how nepotism works. It doesn’t imply direct intercession on your behalf by the person whose name you were born with. It implies preferential treatment due to the name and connections, whether the person is involved or not.
Not to mention my entire point is that if they’re struggling to line up legit assistants who would want to work under such an inexperienced OC, a guy related to one of our execs is an obvious option to overcome that, whether he’s the best fit for the job or not. Same with our already contracted assistant OL coach who worked under the guy we weren’t happy with and fired. Already here, doesn’t require being rejected by outside experienced assistants who see this operation as troublesome or risky.
This hiring process is what it looks like when your coordinator choice can’t attract good candidates for assistant positions. That very much looks like people not wanting to work for you in the present circumstances. If that’s the case then the changes made weren’t big enough, or the wrong replacements were hired.
Or, the other option where this is a totally normal interviewing/hiring process and it’s all gonna work out hunky-dory and I’m a fucking moron for seeing the flaws in our hires or questioning the process. I’m sure that’s how it’ll work out. Flubbing the initial coordinators was probably the anomaly for Quinn. He’ll nail it this go around and won’t waste any more of our time.
