For the love of Mike, What a Charlie Foxtrot this is at every, single, turn.
No kidding - and it's completely unsurprising.

If Tiley is out, its because theyve tried and he turned them down firmly. Some are acting like we have just decided he wasnt good enough??
Not sure if that was directed at my post or not but I was mainly talking about the quotes where applicants didn't even know if they were still in or not because of a lack of communication from our committee. That just screams "We don't know what we're doing!" Just like everything else they've done thus far.
As to the Tiley thing I have no idea just like 99.9% of those of us on this board. Like you I hope that if he is indeed out it's of his own accord and not because we "vetted" him and didn't think he was the man for the job or, even worse, he was one of those quoted saying he had no idea what was up because we weren't effective in our communication with him.
Again from Tupper: "One candidate said he was surprised to have been contacted a second time late this past week. He thought he might have been eliminated. Now he’s been told they may wish to speak with him again. So he’s not sure. Is he in or is he out?
That level of confusion contributes to the perception that dysfunction at the highest levels of the administration has infected what we hoped would be a decisive search."
Depressing. Totally depressing.
All three wanted the job at one point in time. Two expressed interest the last time it was open and those two also called it their dream job.
Must not have really been their "dream" job then. For Dream jobs, you take it when you can get it.
Option 4 about to fall through as well??

NIU's Frazier mentioned as potential candidate for Minnesota AD job. Interviewed for #Illlini job, per sources.

We shouldn't need to get to an option 4. Whitman isn't going to say no if offered and he seems to be #3. It SHOULD be down to Tiley and Whitman

How do you know Tiley is out?
It's seems clear to me that Whitman is not number 3. If he was then this process would be over and he'd be our AD.
The thing that concerns me about this latest dead period is that we have no stealth candidate. Oh, I know, I know, "The last time around, Mike Thomas's name didn't surface until the very end of the search and he was on nobody's radar."
