I heard that Don Cotten, Steve Doblin, Jay Grimes and Joe Paul had applied. No rumours floating around about non-USM affiliated candidates?

In addition to the names listed above, I heard that Greg Lassen made the "short list" along with Joe Paul and Jay Grimes.

Considering the information is confidential who is leaking this supposed information?

Heard rumors of these people applying. Are you confirming then, that this information has been leaked and is correct?

Considering who I heard the information from, I consider it "very reliable".

Opinions, thoughts, on any of these as a potential president?

No, not at all.  In fact, I have absolutely no direct information related to the official search.  Also, my guess is that no one else on this board does either.  I'm just a little annoyed with the use of this board as a means to stir the rumor pot.  So, if anyone has any "official" information regarding short list candidates then have the cojones to state where the information comes from.  Otherwise, let's discuss something more substantative like who the New Orleans Saints are going to select with their first round draft choice.

Brad and all Board Readers.

I also have heard nothing specific from those folks I know who are on the search advisory committee. They have all been good about keeping confidence. However, I will also say that the sense I get from all of them is confidence that we will get a good president and that has not chnaged even as the list has been narrowed. We have eleven members of the faculty on this committee -- most of them have been strong voices over the past several years. I have no doubt that if there was any sense among them that the search was rigged or the candidate pool was bad we would detect it in their attitudes. I have gotten nothing negative so far . . . .
