When it comes to job interviews, Jerome Tang used to be a binder guy.
While he was at Baylor, the now-Kansas State coach used it to present his philosophies and bio information inside them, a pretty common tool for coaches. On the cover was an acronym: TAP, which stood for being “tough, appreciative and passionate.” If his teams could embody those things, he would tell athletic directors, then they would make their opponents tap out.
But after striking out, he opted to go binderless in one interview. That didn’t work out, either.
