Don’t think they made headway with top candidate, they aren’t settled on their second choice who also doesn’t know if they’ll accept. They’ve been working at it. When the Basketball coaching job was open they were turned down publicly by at least three coaches including Chirs Holtmann. So in order to save face the AD circled back around and added a few zeroes to Holtmann's offer, and of course he graciously accepted.
I know VB doesn't have the media circus like basketball, so he won't be "feeling the heat" all that much if he has to settle for a candidate that wasn't in his top 5 initially.
Yeah, this is true. There is nothing quite like the circus of a high-profile college football or basketball program getting turned down repeatedly for its head coach job. Could be worse, though. Ohio State's search was a bit messy, but they ended up with a really good coach. Contrast that with UCLA's last two coaching searches that netted them the now-fired Steve Alford and Mick Cronin, a guy who just lost to Cal State Fullerton. Oh, and UCLA managed to get a bunch of other coaches (e.g. John Calipari) paid at their current positions while getting mocked by fans and members of the media across the country. But yeah, Ohio State could be turned down by 10 coaches for its volleyball job, and almost no one outside of this message board would know or care. |

Maybe OSU forgot that they have a WVB coaching vacancy?

Maybe OSU forgot that they have a WVB coaching vacancy? Having a coach named before New Year’s was never in their hiring timeline - especially with the CFP. Relax. They’ll have a coach named soon enough. |

Having a coach named before New Year’s was never in their hiring timeline - especially with the CFP. Relax. They’ll have a coach named soon enough. CFP played ZERO factor. It absolutely does from an internal processes standpoint. Just because the AD overseeing the search has her pick and Gene Smith backs it (not saying they’re at that point, example only), there are HR - both athletic department and University - boxes that have to be checked before anything can be released. So while the CFP did not negatively alter the hiring timetable itself, it could delay the processes. Additionally, if their target asked for more support (higher salary, staffing pool, budget, etc), the AD doing the search cannot snap her fingers and simply make it happen. That stuff all has to be approved by Gene and/or the individual overseeing the total operating budget for the department. Yes - the hiring is close to being done, pending no negotiating fallout. |

I quickly looked up the job posting in the OSU website and discovered it's not even posted. hr.osu.edu/careers/ |

Thank you for posting this. Maybe jobs in the athletic department go through a different channel and website? I simply entered "coach" in the keyword field and checked the "Columbus" location. Only 8 positions came up, none of which were in the athletic department. |

unless they announce it today, only 2 possible selections left.
I feel bad for the people expected to make the lack of clarity work out the best it possibly can. Student Athletes not knowing to stay or leave, to enter school or drop their commitment & scramble to find a team that can be great for them starting this month. All that goes into pre-semester like housing, books, class schedules for the hard to come by classes, stuff that really can't be done w/favorable outcomes the closer to start of semester it gets. Coaching staff that will not wish to leave their current employer hanging just b/c OSU couldn't get their act together enough to have this process completed already. Student athletes of the future coaches current team, not knowing who their coach will be at the start of the season and the mad scramble they will have to endure or just the lack of choices and the forced to live with it consequences that will be.
I don't get why they would think waiting is ok, either they have their coach or they don't and need to hurry up in finding a replacement. Just looks horrible for being aware of things outside themselves. Shame on OSU, really.
