Two years ago, Georgia athletic director Greg McGarity didn't like the idea of using a search firm to help him make a hire.
He championed his school's internal human relations department and was proud he hadn't spent a dime on a search firm on the six coaching hires he had made as Georgia's AD.
"I've always believed it's the role of the athletic director to assume that responsibility," McGarity told AL.com in March 2015. "If there is a problem with a hire because of certain circumstance that wasn't brought up, I don't think anybody wants to be a position to point the finger back at a search firm for their inability to find out certain information.
