Then why can't they both be good? WV was ugly when DD got there, too. He's 2/2.

If Dolson was working on it that long, he had a plan. But unlike some people have difficulty believing, Indiana is a job people said no to.

Drake was never down before McCollum got there because....

Would there be a way to treat it as a profanity so it would automatically asterisk his name when used?

Screw the fan base. Half of them don't even know who he is which says a lot about how much their happiness should matter when it comes to making a solid hire.

Would he be eligible for a medical redshirt given he only played ten (+/-) games this season?

They'll be easy to get back when he wins.

It's a no from me, dawg.

I like Dusty but I hope they don't make it that far. My brain wouldn't be able to tolerate seeing him make it to the national title game the very first year he should have been our head coach. I already have a hard enough time with Pacer games because of Doofy McBuckner

See some of my discussion in the last few pages. I don't want to type it again lol. The fans tend to see it from a fan's point of view rather than a coach's.

They're about to accuse you of stealing food if you don't stop it.

This. As a fan base, the bold is our biggest barrier to reality.

It's in his name. He's on an Indiana board with a name focused on Kentucky. He loves misery and he's just trying to find the company to go with it

Fact. But also better overall and in conference. Consider that part equal, record-wise. But the turmoil of the Indiana program and the job that goes with it is the primary perception that most people have about Indiana basketball. Poorly managed, dramatic, and rabid. It's completely reasonable we would be competing for up and coming coaches with Iowa, particularly when the candidate in question has roots in Iowa City. It's not unfathomable that we are not exactly the cream of the crop compared to the rest of the conference in terms of desirability. The only thing setting us apart anymore is the money. And no, I will not employ the Randy Savage cream gif here.

I've edited mine too. Our reputation with our administration changes the view of the job as well.

I can understand how one would feel that way. But the only real difference between the two now is that one of had 3 decades of a hall of fame coach and the other didn't. Now that we've been back down on Earth for 25 years we aren't as prime a spot as we used to be. And seriously, does Indiana not have a reputation of a completely bumbling iteration of an Athletic Administration to this point? People see it's been a clown show here for a while. Time will tell I suppose.

Stu is telling you Iowa has had more success in the Fran era than we've had in the last umpteen eras. He never said it was a better job. Just trying to help differentiate, and also help some people in here see that there's a legitimate reason we could be competing with Iowa for a coach. People act like we're competing with Penn State rather than a program that for several years has been more successful than ours.

Ok. How about "more successful"? Because the numbers are pretty telling.

Not necessarily a better job, but a better program at this juncture.

Still a petty Betty today? The sun is out, it's March Madness, and we're about to get our coach. Turn your frown upside down and quit your bi***ing.

Don't tempt me to watch this. I have stuff to do today.

Lol I forget that poster that even was.

I wouldn't classify him as less competent. Not sexy? Sure, for the time being.

And who would Ned most eagerly back with his money?
