Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

D-1 means division 1, but I'm going to assume he means a 10, or whatever his dickish hottie-ranking scale is.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

Let's take the assumption that a major VP must do some entertaining to maintain a company presence, etc. It might be relevant to the job skills and effort to interview the spouse to see if she can assist the VP in performing his duties. I am not sure I agree with this line of argument, but it isn't unlike the national expectations of the First Lady. Though I am not sure any person was ever not elected because of the attractiveness of his wife. Really.

However, the assistant coach's wife would not be helping him perform employment duties (at least not described in the article). The coach is evaluating prospectives based on assumptions of why they chose their spouses (and why the spouses chose them).

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

IMO, if the wife (either to the coach or VP) isn't getting PAID, she doesn't need to interview.

IF it's part of his duties, then it's on him to deliver. How he does that (wife, companion, sister, event planner, or - hey there - all by himself) shouldn't be on the table. If you're interviewing at that level one would think you'd figured it out somehow or other.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

If the VP's wife cannot entertain (god forbid she have her own career) he should know that and be able to deal with it, by know good places to take business associates and/or having a good relationship with a catering and/or event planning company. GET OUT OF THE DARK AGES OR ANGRY WOMEN WILL COME SUE YOUR ASS!

I'm pretty appalled at the logic behind this.

As an alumna, I'm even more appalled.

"I keep to a strict diet of ill-advised enthusiasm and heartfelt regret." Leigh Bardugo

Vanderbilt's record was 6-7 last year and they were only 2-6 in conference. So perhaps the head coach is bloviating and recruiting on bullshit standards.

Frankly, I'd rather have an AD who knew what he was doing on the field and not how to charm off of it.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

Not defending him.

as point of explanation: he wants AD to be able to recruit and he thinks the best way to assess their abilities to recruit promising high school students is who their wives are.
