West Florida to Hold Reception for Coaching Candidates

The University of West Florida will add a strange, but not unheard of, step to the selection process of their new coach. The school will hold an hour-long reception for each of the final four candidates for the head coaching position. The four candidates include current Georgetown College head coach Robert "Happy" Osborne.

The schedule for each reception is as follows:

Bob Stinnett – Wednesday, July 8th 5:30-6:30pm at the J. Earle Bowden Building located at 120 Church Street

Greg Zimmerman – Monday, July 13th, 5:30-6:30pm at the J. Earle Bowden Building is located at 120 Church Street

Jim Boone – Tuesday, July 14th, 5:30-6:30pm at the Dorr House located at 311 S Adams Street

Robert “Happy” Osborne – Wednesday, July 15th, 5:30-6:30pm at the J. Earle Bowden Building located at 120 Church Street

West Florida received negative criticism for publishing the complete list of all 144 candidates for the vacant position, including many current head and assistant coaches. In another interesting move, the school has also published the full cover letters and resumes of the four final candidates.
