The transfer portal giveth and the transfer portal taketh away.

I just don't understand the extreme goofiness. For those of you not in Bloomington, he put up a ridiculous billboard on the 45/46 bypass here in town. Obviously, that cost some real money. If he just ran as a serious candidate with a focus on athletics, I think that might resonate with a lot of alumni. This whole thing reeks of nothing more than a publicity stunt to drawn attention to his podcast (or whatever he does).

Exactly. This is the prototypical Indiana kid that IU has ignored over the past two decades, Then they end up going to Butler and putting up 25 points against us.

Just watched the video... How can you not like Mike Woodson? I fully admit that I was initially underwhelmed with the hire, but I've quickly been won over by his genuineness.

FWIW....Here's the official job description for an Assistant Coach position at IU.

We just paid $10 million to get rid of bust.

Can confirm

Sure, I may be bad at my job, but I'm nowhere near "let's pony up $10 million dollars to get rid of you" level of bad. I need to get a lot worse, I guess.

Interesting. Any idea why the trustees are hesitant to make the move? I'm assuming it's because of the buyout. Regardless of what people think of Archie, he's a lame duck coach. No recruit with any real options is going to want to come to this mess.

Yeah, we go way back. I remember when he was rcs11.

So, I have a friend who is definitely not me. He's a bit dumb and less-than-nuanced in, among other things, the field of contract law. Say, he were to ask an obviously silly question such as, "if Miller's buyout is 7$ million dollars less next year, then why not just continue to pay him his $3.X million dollar salary for the next year to not coach the team? We could bring in a new coach for next year and then buyout Miller in April 2022." Just for the sake of humor, how would one answer such a question?

He was here in the past, so that makes him an "IU guy", right? I keep hearing that we need one of those.

Probably due to the self-tanner silhouette he left on their sofa.

If anybody should ask, you can find me drowning my sorrows in the cool, refreshing waters of Lake Apathy. Come on in boys, the water's fine!
