The Answer I believe is Travis Cunningham.
GWU alum, who was a top recruiter and was respected by players. He spent 16 years at GWU as an assistant/coordinator, and he understands the university and community dynamics.
Records show he currently makes about $130k at Appalachian state, so I think we would be able to afford him too.

Dipshit Downs in the press release said we are hiring a firm out of Raleigh to conduct a national search. Anyone want to bet the money spent hiring the firm, if instead was used to make a strong bid and ended up hosting a playoff game instead, may have kept Lamb around another year? More closing the barn door after all the herd has left. Last time we went "national" Ron Dickerson arrived. Remember how fun that was?? Yep. Two years of pleasuring coeds in the football center. Cunningham is a logical choice, which is exactly why he’ll never be considered for the job.

If we hire Cunningham (which I would support) how much money did we waste on this search firm for the clear and obvious?

Cunningham Isn’t coming here. In my conversations with him since he left, he hasn’t had many nice things to say about GWU.

No way there is any truth to that. Travis Cunningham loves Gardner-Webb and I've never heard him say a bad word about anyone or anything and I knew him for 20 years here. He's literally the kind of guy that could find something nice to say about the worst person on the planet.
That being said, I doubt he wants the head job here. He , like anyone who ever worked at GWU, knows the limitations there and had frustrations I'm sure.

Maybe about certain people, but not the school. As for limitations, I do think that would be a concern. With that said, he does have 16 + years in relationships with hundreds of former players, and relationships with donors. So in terms of raising funds, knowing the type of man he is and the lives he impacted positivity, I think it would be hard for them to turn down a call from Travis to help however they could.

They zoomed with 6-7 candidates over the weekend. Should be done soon. None of them were recently fired like the person mentioned in the post above.

Quarles has got to be a bad joke. He couldn’t win at ETSU with twice the resources.

So we are so cheap we can’t bring candidates on campus for a face to face interview? That's pretty typical when you have that many candidates in the running. You'd never bring 6-7 candidates to campus for any position. Trying to interview that many people on campus is a lose-lose proposition: either you waste money covering the travel costs of 5-6 candidates who don't pan out, or you alienate multiple candidates by asking them to cover their own travel. Zoom is the way to go at that point of the process. Once they're down to 2-3, they'll typically start bringing them to campus.
