It should be noted that Arthur Smith is the exact opposite of that.

His dad raised him to be the opposite of that.

One part of the process that was missing is making sure you ask rules of the game questions to never been a HC before candidates.  I surely thought during the interview process that the candidate would be put through several in-game scenarios to evaluate their game management process and decisions.  I’m not so sure they did that with Callahan though.  Seems like such an obvious part of a HC interview.  

 

It's likely assumed anyone making to the point Callahan did they would know basic rules like what constitutes a catch and what is offsides.

I had an uncle who was a pretty shady mechanic. He got caught ripping people off many times. He charged his own sister-in-law for a new starter and just cleaned the old one and put it back on etc.... He worked at this dive behind a run down truck stop. 

 

He was a compulsive liar and an overall buffoon. If you didn't know him he could come off convincing at first. 

 

He interviewed for a top position/Head mechanic at a major dealership in Dallas and had a completely made up resume. He got the job. We were all in disbelief. It was an awesome job with a massive salary. 

 

Needless to say he was exposed very shortly and fired. But the point is he made it through a hiring process and tricked the decision makers.

My best advice to @TerryBoatsis to wait for the Indeed job opening so you can have a say in what goes on.

I'll just ask @OILERMAN's uncle to help me with the resume.

I agree this is what happened and at the time they were trying to get BC to choose them, not the other way around.  They didn’t want to “disrespect” him by asking those type of basic rules questions.  Would be nice though to find a professional way to evaluate that kind of thing without the candidate feeling talked down to.

As an engineering leader, if someone chose to focus on basic technical questions in an interview, I'd laugh and immediately take them off my list. Sure its crazy Callahan didn't know some basic rules but you don't over compensate for that by asking entry level questions of the next guy.
