2 years 17 weeks ago	Why do so many people on	Why do so many people on this blog think that mgoblog is the only site it's members read? I understand people linking obscure stuff but I am getting sick and tired of freep/detnews/ESPN/m-live/CBS front page content being posted as new threads (with the author expecting praise for getting the 2nd hand scoop). Come on. Ok I'm done now.

2 years 18 weeks ago	I agree. None of the search	I agree. None of the search needs to be made public...you are missing my point.  He should have just thrown politics aside and made his choice the second he knew he had his man.  He would have salvaged the recruiting class.  Then again, Hoke has a few weeks to hopefully salvage the class.  If he comes across to them as he did to me today at the presser, we might be alright. Obviously DB is in the position he is because he is a smart guy.  At this point, I will just assume that there are reasons unknown to me that he had to do it this way.  I just can't think of one.
2 years 18 weeks ago	To MGOLITERAL: The reason I	To MGOLITERAL: The reason I care about the process is because we lost recruits.  I didn't say anything about the first choice or last choice and don't care about that.  I simply stated, based on relevant evidence, that Brandon has known who his choice was for a period of time longer than the last 24 hours (which he implied).  So if he knew, what was the reason for putting on the charade and sabotaging the recruiting class?  That is at the heart of my post.
2 years 18 weeks ago	I like that he was a little	I like that he was a little bit of a dick.  I just didn't like that he insulted my intelligence by stating that he just offered Hoke yesterday, got 40 former players on flights from different cities to A2 with less than a days notice, etc, etc. The whole thing has been coordinated which is a testimate to his organizational and political skills. But my intelligence is insulted when he stands there and says he just decided on Hoke yesterday and that the whole thing hasn't been a big coordinated charade.

2 years 18 weeks ago	Coordination of Players at Presser Needed Time to Develop	Fair enough on the confidentiality.  But I still think he spoke with others only as a formality.  I think it's been Hokemania for a while.  Also, if he was just offered yesterday how did they coordinate 40 former players to schedule flights with 12 hours notice to be at the presser?  Seemed like that may have been coordinated a few days ago to me?

2 years 19 weeks ago	Hiring Process In Business World	I work in business and our HR follows a similar posting process with all jobs.  Typically the hiring manager has to continue to interview candidates throught the 7 days even if the manager already has their candidate.  When I have received promotions internally, I have been given a "wink-wink" and a heads up to apply on-line.  Then told I have the job but not to say a freaking word for 7 days while we interview all the candidates we are not interested in to satisfy the policy (I don't know if this is internal policy or law).  I am not saying this is DB's process (especially since mid-level management hirings are a little different than CEO/Head Coach hirings) but does anyone know if there is some sort of rule that Michigan technically can't announce a hiring until the end of the posting (1-14)?
