I guess that's where I disagree with the take. I think "just win, baby" fixes everything pretty fast.
If someone took the job and was really successful quickly, which is very possible in the NIL era, wouldn't they be treated like a God in the most basketball crazy state there is given how long IU has been consistently mediocre / crappy?
And the downside is what? You're not successful fast enough or ever, so you get fired and leave a multi-millionaire??
