Yeah, if it's him, the Pete is going to be empty.

It would be reaaly hard to spin this hire - there will be no buzz at all. Hard to see why they would hire him but they must have been turned down by lots of guys.

Lots of conspiracy theories out there - search firm connections to Vandy, Barnes connections to head of search firm, etc.....

But if Vandy gets a younger guy (Keatts, Wade) that has a lot of 'buzz', that's going to make the Stallings hire look even worse.
