I mean…

It doesn’t get much bigger than Pearle. He has the #1 team in the country at a football school

Don’t the bulls have 6?

It’s not a sexy hire. It’s a solid hire. I think the program would be in good hands with him and he has proven he can build. He did it at Iowa State and he’s doing it at Nebraska. Each team slowly got better and better and if he at 52 can come here for 18 years then I think his final 15 here would be real fun to watch

Seriously. We talk about sure fire winners like Pearle, Stevens, Bears etc and then up and comers that could be homeruns but also very risky. hoiberg would win at IU. I’m not sure what his ceiling is but I have little doubt he would make us competitive in the bigten every year

Can we hire Fred Hoiberg?

Correct. I urged him to offer Smith and he refused. When you have an instate kid that grew up wanting to be a Hoosier and you don’t offer him and he becomes one of the best players in the conference, you end up replacing your coach every 4 years

Thanks, I hadn’t seen that. Incredible how the knicks issues are Indiana's issues to a T

I don’t know, I worked with CAA for many years and they are a bunch of woke up on 3rd and thought they slapped a triple people I’ve ever met. I can’t see any of them going to those lengths to protect someone like Mike Woodson

Anyone else find it odd that Ya follows Dolson’s burner?

If we’re going that route, it would need to be the honorary Stuhoo new coach Micah shrewsbury thread but that isn’t as exciting

Honorary Stuhoo fire Mike Woodson thread

Honest question, what has she stated that hasn’t been true?

It likely is. I wouldn’t be shocked if it was 1 person with like 20 accounts that all mimick the same things and were directed by Woodson.

True. The portal moves quickly and they have a short amount of time to look into things before they commit. Even a little investigation should have given them some pause and maybe it did, maybe that is why we had to overpay to get everyone of our players, because they knew it was tough sledding. They just didn’t know how bad it really was

We have millions of dollars sitting on the bench. I feel for Rice but you could kinda say that about almost all of our players

She hasn’t made a post on here since her picture surfaced

Someone said they debunked it but I have not seen that. It’s very possible that KathyC is really our board member.

He sent KathyC to do that

I agree with you in that Dolson isn’t going to get fired and I also don’t believe he should be at this point. what I will say that is 100% fact is that Dolson’s inability to move quickly and swiftly and instill confidence in those in power during the search empowered others to take the lead. Therefore, he is also to blame for the mess we are in with the basketball program. i believe he should get some credit for sure for what Cig has done but let’s be honest, if IU Baskebtall can return to elite status, this will quickly become a basketball school again, one or a few years of good football won’t change that.

I’m not wrong and never said they were the same. Some like to give Dolson a complete pass for the state of Indiana basketball and they shouldn’t. He was unqualified to be the AD and had no idea what he was doing leading a bigtime search and we ended up with another unqualified person as a result. When you take on a job you are not qualified for and have no experience in you get steamrolled and that is exactly what happened.

Archie getting fired was a no brainer, not some out of left field thing that he couldn’t plan for. To have 0 guaranteed top coaches lined up in advance and ready to go put us in the situation to allow for other morons to step in and say you failed, now let us take over

I will use Cathy language “there wasn’t some massive groundswell to hire Woodson” it was literally 2 people. so yes, it is and was his job to lead the hiring process and had he not failed on his first attempt we wouldn’t have been subjected to these two individuals sway.

It’s a pretty entertaining narrative that the AD had full control to hire the football coach after he was successful but had no control to when it came to basketball after he was a disaster.
