Know X has a lot of time on his hands not playing but woof. This loop of emotions goes way farther than him anyway Here a rant: Instead of all this crap about need to get an IU guy, team full of Indiana HS recruits and get old and stay old we try something different. Hire the best coach available then get good and stay good. That would be a welcome change I think for everybody

Totally agree just between those 15 years Emerrit showed he had little power if a school just doesn’t cooperate the way IU did

The only thing I would say there’s a good 10-15 years separating those misdeeds. Emmerit had quite a few foul ups between Sampson time and the UNC and FBI stuff

Not saying we should bring him back - but this is kinda the norm now. NCAA investigates - school tells them to kick rocks and they aren’t able to do much. Times have changed and Emmeritt had done a hell of a job tanking that organization’s rep. Just that line stuck out to me

Would love to see some sort of video comparison done to his walk to that "tiny" car (he not fitting in that thing) compared to some reactions he had after a play at IU (Duke game). Feel like there was some similarity in the way his hands were and that strut of sorts

I had so high hopes Earl Calloway and Donald Perry thought they were going to be so good for IU

I'm a Hoosier and White Sox fan predominately. Root for the Colts but not as wild about football as I am baseball and basketball. The teams I watch absolutely stink

Ahh - not sure how "not identifying useful metrics" cleared that up for me, but I'll take your word for it that it wasn't meant as a comparison. Plenty of coaches struggle to adjust from one level to the next - just find Saban the wrong one to make the comparison on. Yeah the NFL level wasn't for him, but he cut hit teeth at LSU and Michigan St well before Alabama to prove he was worth a sh**. And I didn't even reply to you so not sure why you're so upset that you'd tell me to leave a message board

You didn't reference him as to how unpredictable coaching jumps are between college and pros? What other reason why he have been brought up?

Majority of the roster has done plenty of losing the last 3 seasons. Why would they be bothered by it

Can't believe a Saban to Woodson comparison was made. Mindblown

Did the AD have to be a former IU guy? Why not hire a AD who's seen what it takes to run successful program in football and basketball? Dolson didn't exactly learn from the best in that department

Any actually player names to these rumors?

Was sick for the Iowa game. Watched a little of the Alabama curb stomping they put on Kentucky yesterday. Sad to see Nate Oats doing great things with guys IU actively recruited. A Noah Clowney would have been fun

What do you expect when hiring a former manager as AD? A former player/alumni had to hired to appease the silver foxes

Nebraska just hired Matt Rhule. IU looking at what alumni can solve this mess

Don’t disagree at all. I have a sneaky suspicion Woodson is about to run into the constant roster balance issues that Crean ran into at the end and Archie never solved. Going to be all guards and no size next year. Woodson will need to win to escape that or shill out bunches in NIL

IU could always explore a Ted Williams frozen head situation and bring back Coach Knight. Imagine Ted hitting .400 again and Knight racking up another 700 wins and fishing and hunting together. Just need that technology to catch up. Cuban where are you?

Barring someone quitting mid-game probably can put that watch to an end today

I’d love to see him as THE man next year at IU but if gets an opportunity why wouldn’t he leave? He’s more likely asked to carry more on his back than its worth in college

I’d say Schifino will move up draft boards if he can showcase this kinda skill set with XJ out. Doubt there would be many franchises who would actively turn down an opportunity to work with him at his age.

Injuries aside - how much better does this team finish in conference? Dear lord I don’t see much better than the typical 9th place finish

Just sad state of affairs. This was supposed to the “good” year. This roster I expect looks completely different next and not be more talented barring something major. Woodson’s age I thought he really needed to win immediately to continue on the recruiting trail in ways that Archie didn’t after Romeo

A scorer in HS? Honestly not see much of him so hard for me to tell what kind of a player he is - just odd to me with how bad some other scholarship players are struggling he can’t find the floor despite owning said scholarship

How many of them are awake?
