Nah. Woodson was given around 6m in NIL to flush down the toilet this year, Miller didn't have that. We're talking about smartest person in special ed, so it doesn't really matter.

Yep. They grifted this program for all they could, Buckner even got the university to pay for a 13k private flight.

Well, you know, he was a good player 40 years ago and we'd look mean if he was shown the door for being a crappy coach. Optics.

I thought that the last time, then we whiffed trying to lay down a bunt.

From an SI article If May decided to leave Michigan, the amount he would have to pay Michigan back (with “reasonable written notice”) would be as follows: • April 1, 2025 or before: $5,000,000 + 1,513,000 signing bonus. Total is $6,513,000. • Between April 1, 2025-April 30, 2025: $5,000,000 • Between May 1, 2025-April 30, 2026: $4,000,000 • Between May 1, 2026-April 30, 2027: $2,000,000 • Between May 1, 2027-April 30, 2028: $1,000,000 • Between May 1, 2028-April 30, 2029: $500,000 Lower than Woodson. IU got taken to the cleaners on that contract.

Otzelberger would be a good hire, not sure he'd leave Iowa State though.

He didn't deserve that courtesy.

I don't know, "IU hires Isaiah Thomas" would be pretty painful.

It'd make sense that he'd love Woodson. He's probably exhibit A for the total lack of accountability.

"Much to play for" Maybe we can qualify for the conference tournament.

Removed from statement: it's even tougher to get over the hump when you're a really lousy coach.

And the number of people that still think Woodson can coach wouldn't even fill the short bus.

Clearly they don't realize IU's process works, it's landed gurus like Mike Woodson. In a serious note, yes she should.

That'd be an improvement over what we got last time, a "they hired who?" guy.

I'd be surprised if anyone knew for sure right now. And I'm guessing it's neither Stevens nor Few.

I think it was Chris that said that assurance was made to a certain person.

I said it'd be a short list. No offers will make for a very short list.

They probably figured since he played here the job was his as long as he wanted it, so it'd be too late on their feelings being hurt.

It'll be short list of offers.

That's just a visceral reaction. Trust the process, it works.

You missed a golden chance to make a joke about Woodson's end of game decisions.

If a coach is afraid they'll be fired after being as bad as Woodson they are definitely NOT the right guy.

I don't want him either. This is IU though and can never get these hires right so we should probably prepare to be disappointed.

It was never about their "love for IU", they wanted their buddy to have the job that was it. They're probably not happy right now.
