Pizza Man says he's going to conduct a national search

[808 Buck]

San Diego State AD Jim Sterk wasn't overly pleased with Michigan AD Dave Brandon and perhaps even Brady Hoke in regards to the handling of the Michigan coaching search.

Sterk said that Hoke didn't notify him that he met with Michigan until after the meeting occurred, which was either Friday or Saturday.

Brandon, the former Dominos Pizza CEO, never contacted Sterk.

"It's not good business," said Sterk.

No Dominos anymore for San Diego State.

The next day, he seemed to try to knock the luster off the coach who left Stanford to lead the San Francisco 49ers and the one who stayed at LSU.

"All that glitters is not gold when it comes to some coaches," Brandon said. "A two- or three-hour meeting with a coach uncovers much more than you could learn scanning the Internet or sifting through statistics.

"Sometimes the hype or the PR doesn't match the real person.

And a parting shot at Harbaugh and Miles. Of course, he never REALLY offered them the job. Not everyone is cut out to be a Michigan Man.

...Brandon, the former Dominos Pizza CEO, never contacted...

This may seem a little trite, but almost every time Brandon is mentioned in any article in any media outlet, his name is followed with: the former Dominos Pizza CEO.
Don't know if anyone else picks up on that. It's one of those goofy things in life that just makes me smile. :)

======================================================================================

Pizza man to Harbaugh: We need you at Michigan. You are the "Michigan Man" for the job. I would really like you to become the next Michigan coach. If I offered you the job would you accept it?

Harbaugh: NO, I'm going to the 49ers for $25M.

Pizza man to Miles: We need you at Michigan. You are the "Michigan Man" for the job. I would really like you to become the next Michigan coach. If I offered you the job would you accept it?

Miles: NO, I'm just jerking you around so LSU will extend my contract.

Pizza man: Hoke is the person I wanted all along. I never offered the job to either Harbaugh or Miles.

OK, good on UM for not getting to a bidding war for Harbaugh or Miles. We are talking about universities and while his salary will still be obscene it could have been worse.

I'm now trying to think about what is worse than obscene ... gimme a couple of days on that.

5MB+ for a B and W image? In .bmp format? Sheesh - I thought those umich folks were meant to be skilled in the use of computers.

Evidently it isn't just their pigskin talents that have fallen off the cliff.
