Byrne was not in favor of the SEC move which was in direct opposition to the university president and majority of regents. He left quite a legacy at A&M, was a great fundraiser and was a huge supporter of non-revenue and olympic sports.

Perhaps his fervor for the Big12 would translate into an invite should we hire him ?

Chair, Search Committee

Just curious...Were any of the regular posters here one of the "dozens of members of the Rice community" that provided input to the search committee?

I'll leave it up to you to define my status in this space but I sent a note to Kevin and received a thank you in response.

Good news. I'm happy about that. I guessing you would have been on most Parliamentarian's short list for the "dozens of members of the Rice community".

Now, were they receptive to your ideas and thoughts?

Absolutely seemed to be. We shall see... or better view, we shall see if the person I spoke to has "friends". It was great to feel involved/valued.

Glad the Parliament had an experienced voice, Ham.

Any news/progress yet?

I've heard there were numerous applicants and that the final three choices are being informed today that they are among the remaining candidates. Obviously, there is a first choice but we are apparently down to the AD and the two runners-up. I expect an announcement shortly.

Wow, thanks for the update Houston Owl! So does that mean it is now out of the search firm's hands and fully in front of the committee?

That's exciting news. Looking forward to seeing who we pick.

Thanks for the update.

RE: AD Search Update
So no leaks yet on who the Big 3 are? Or at least one of the Big 3? While the earlier part of the screening process was quite open, I can see a lot of arguments for keeping a tigher lid on this phase of the search/hiring. But that doesn't mean it would be interesting to know the names, or at least some of the qualifications!

Looks like we have a winner...I think the decision has been made and the job offered. Anticipate a press conference shortly. (I'm not certain who was selected).

I don't know how this will work out. But I can say that if we are truly at the point of making an offer, this has really been a well-run effort. Get it done quickly, but not hurriedly. I would tend to think that this kind of process will produce a good result.

RE: AD Search Update
CDC took the TCU job in October 2009 and Rick took the Rice job in March 2010, so looks like roughly 5 months.

One other point I should have made in my prior post. I was extremely happy with the makeup of the search committee. My only "complaint" was that three of the people who could have been on my short list (Bobby Tudor, Jay Collins, and Lynn Laverty) were on the search committee. I have a lot of confidence that this group will get it right.

Well, Del Conte announced he was leaving in October 2009.

Interviews were going on in early March 2010, if I believe this article.

http://www.myfoxhouston.com/story/182271...-ad-search

And hired Greenspan a few days later.

http://www.chron.com/sports/rice/article...713760.php

I cannot find anything on when the search committee was put together, but vaguely recall it being set up during break between semesters. Seems like timing may be similar, slightly faster this time, though I wouldn't be surprised if much prep was done during the spring before the formal announcement.
