I share the concern that the 'search committee' will be a screw up. From the link:
"The Bruins will run an inefficient search.
Why the pessimism? Because they have already announced athletic director Martin Jarmond and a senior executive will “be aided by a committee composed of accomplished sports and business executives and UCLA greats.”
That’s a terrible idea, but the administration undoubtedly felt it had no choice. Jarmond’s credibility with UCLA stakeholders is in tatters after the Foster experiment went sideways, so chancellor Julio Frenk was not inclined to hand Jarmond the keys to the hire.
But a committee of “accomplished sports and business executives and UCLA greats” is not how to identify the right coach.
In fact, only one person who fits that description, Bob Myers, the former UCLA basketball player and Warriors general manager, should be allowed anywhere near the search.
Everyone else should be steeped in college football, which is becoming more complicated with each passing week.
The “sports and business executives” approach is also a recipe for a messy search filled with media leaks and directional changes. We have no doubt that it will create a feeding frenzy for agents representing sitting head coaches and coordinators whose names will be connected to the UCLA vacancy."
