Message: [QUOTE="Uconnfanatic, post: 2624091, member: 4150"] As an investment professional, I can tell you that kind of thinking has led to a lot of overpaying on stocks over the years and some pretty lousy results. Look at the track record of corporate takeovers where there wetre bidding wars. In most cases, the company that outbid and won the bidding war overpaid and its shareholders came to regret that decision. I would much prefer a disciplined approach where the administration narrows it to a top three or four candidates who are interested in the position and be prepared to move to a second or third choice if the first choice is not interested in your offer. Unfortunately athletic directors are not typically very skilled at negotiations or this kind of decision-making process but they should be. [/QUOTE]
