Can someone tell me what they feel the role of the Search Committee is ?
I just better familiarized myself with the roster and if they are indeed an important factor in determining the next coach I am worried about another VT culture type hire.
Is this group truly empowered or just window dressing? We need external voices badly, not more incestuous VT ones.
