Bernard Muir is in his 11th year as the Stanford AD. His public comments have always been as bland as dry toast. And he is as opaque as London fog. The press conference participants could have asked him any number of questions about the search process and he would have deflected every one.

You can be disappointed in the reporters for questions that they did not ask, but Muir would likely not have answered any of them. In fact, the next time he addresses the media might be to introduce the new coach. I expect no information from him about the process, including who the search committee members are and who has interviewed for the position. I expect that the only information we will get during the search will come from candidates themselves or their agents.
