They provide schools a list of interested candidates. They vet/background check coaches. They organize logistics for interviews. In some cases they negotiate contracts.
It's still up to the school to make the choice on who hire.

They must be going after a former AD staffer - jlbomega MU - 7/19 18:52:47

So I assume that means Sundvold won't be the next AD? - StaleyTiger MU - 7/19 15:09:26

Sundvold *IS* a candidate. - HissingPrigs77 MU - 7/19 20:21:01

Sundvold is ABSOLUTELY NOT A CANDIDATE for the job. - grandjason MU - 7/21 14:35:05

When folks spend a bunch of cash on an expert, - Evenflow MU - 7/19 18:46:09

Never heard of a search firm making recommendations - wu-tangtiger MU - 7/19 18:54:06

Well, they certainly talk to a University about what - Evenflow MU - 7/19 19:11:33

Sounds like 3 guys that would look at it that way as well.(nm) - Uncle John MU
