As an optimist, I would say that he's over the hump.

We're gonna have a hell of a coaching staff!

Who needs boner pills when you have people telling you Brad Stevens will be the next head coach?

In my head, the perfect interaction goes something like this... Dolson: Hey Mike, got any plans for black history month? MW: Are you asking because I'm black? Dolson: No, I'm asking because you're history.

To play for the notorious Kevin Wilson nonetheless.

Not sure if anybody is interested, but I was going through some of my old stuff and ran across this program that I got from the IU basketball banquet back in 1984. There are still grease stains from the fried chicken we had for dinner. As much of a thrill as that was for a chubby eleven year old Nerdvana, the real highlight was that players and coaches stuck around for autographs afterwards. I wish I could've got the whole team, but we had a pretty limited amount of time before everyone had to leave. As I remember, the wait for Steve Alford's autograph was way longer than everyone else.

Looks like Deion is headed to Colorado.

This represents every IU coach I remember and the only person on this list that left for another head coaching job is Sam Wyche. IU is the Siberia of college football coaching jobs.

The transfer portal giveth and the transfer portal taketh away.

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.
