I have sources telling me that the announcement is that Mike Woodson likes nickleback....

As I sit 10 pages behind as usual I have figured out why the vague announcement.... It is obvious that scott dolson reads this board, and he had that put out there so he could get caught up with all of these pages too

My meeting is at 3. So it will probably happen then

Wow. This would be whittens call. I would imagine the vetting process is extreme for obvious reasons. I don't think he gets hired, I dont think wade gets hired along with pitino, Sean miller, Bill self etc etc. Obviously IU prides itself on optics. I would have thought that would be obvious since they haven't fired Mike Woodson yet

If it's ufc era Rhonda, that doesn't sound completely unpleasant honestly

The board is really up in arms over a candidate that i don't think, along with wade, that iu even makes it down the list to. I would think beard would be at the end of the list, when they have whiffed on absolutely everybody else.

Should probably get that sacrificial goat on deck....

Could we possibly compromise and tell Woodson that he couldn't go 28-2 at mcneese st and hope he goes there to prove us all wrong? Then we could hire a coach that doesn't completely suck as a coach

I would have to assume IU would be ok paying for either one currently lol

You didn't find Steven's masshole interview to be just even a little suspicious the last go around? If he hadn't talked to IU why would he talk up the IU job, and then pull a complete 180? This is just my opinion, but there has to be at least a little smoke, and I have to think that they have called him, and AD in the state of Indiana may have called him. Why wouldn't they?

It doesn't matter. I don't know about other posters on this board, but I find myself asking would I rather have a coach that is mentioned here as a replacement or Woodson back. The other coach has won every time. It doesn't even matter which coach was mentioned.

The only thing not top ten about the indiana job is the results. Other programs fire their coaches before the 4 years is up

To get dusty may to leave Michigan it is going to take more than 5 million. Up and comers like Calhoun and mccollum may get paid less but that is still close to a top 15 salary. If they are going for the white whales probably in the 7-10 million range. IU may not have top ten results but that is definitely nearing top ten pay. I would have to guess the NIL fund is also top

Yep. So if IU was to pay a coach 10 million a year, unless bill self got a huge raise in between march 24 and now, that would make the IU coach the highest paid in college basketball. Other coaches may get less but that seems like top ten job money

So if you look at highest paid college coaches in 24, unless they have the facts wrong, mike Woodson is #13 highest paid college coach on that list. I don't know what it shows after bonuses etc.

Added bonus: IU has somebody on the bench that can psych out coop!

Absolutely not. Somehow, we have opinions that IU is going to disregard their "optics" to hire people like beard or wade, when this administration won't even disregard their optics to fire Woodson. It's laughable and sad at the same time

I didn't have let's look at will wade as a realistic candidate for the last 15 pages on my fire Woodson bingo card. Would he do well? Probably. Would IU hire him? Nope

It was a bad decision if it was just Woodson and that was definitely the case when he was hired on this board. The part where a lot thought the idea was a lot better is when everybody thought that Woodson was going to be helped by Dane Fife and Thad Matta. It is a shame that didn't stay the case

As stuhoo likes to say, it doesn't matter who we don't get, it matters who we get. And they left an open scholarship instead of grabbing a needed guard, who would have made them better than they were. IU would have been a lot better with xj on the floor all year, but guess what? He got injured. It happens. And Woodson didn't have a backup plan. He didn't prepare for all of the alternatives. It doesn't matter the stories of all of the other recruits who didn't show up. He needed an extra spot filled in case of injury and he failed

The hope that I have in all of this is that dusty may covets the IU job enough to wait around a year. If he goes to Ohio state, he will stomp our ***** for the next decade

So there is a new poster that may or may not be a trustee, while the poster that told us not to criticize or wait to pass judgment is nowhere to be found Is it really a new poster, or is it the same poster under a different name? Stay tuned. Same bat time, same bat channel

Mama said waiting until the off-season to pass judgment is the devil...

No. You didn't run for sheriff. Geez. Get with the program here

If you use the kenny powers catchphrase after you are elected, then I am all in
