That's the man I have been dreaming about, literally...lol. Seriously, I still believe we already have our coach. We will see.

Well, I did dream and shared here, Gard was interested. I have had a few dreams come true. Does that count? I still believe we already have our guy. It's just too quiet and Dolson has known this change was coming for months.

Iowa will have some good choices if they do fire Fran.

I think we've had a guy for quite awhile. I believe that's why there isn't much chatter out there, the talking was done way before the Woodson retirement message. Dolson got ahead of it, way before the media figured it out.

Was the game in Nashville? That's where Cody''s wife records.

Cody's wife is currently on tour, singing. Maybe he's with her on the road.

Scott has known for months he would have to replace Woodson. He has his guy. I do believe that. I don't think he woke up today to see that Dusty was signing a new contract. I do believe we have our guy, Scott has known this for months. At least that's what I want to believe.

Woodson is the gift that just keeps on given.

BRAD!! Get home! If we don't have Dusty as a back up, I'm sure we'll get someone great. I hope.

I was thinking about all the baggage with coaches and Tom Izzo was able to shake off the scandal of his assistant coach Travis Walton assaulting a woman and later another sexual assault. Also his players too, can't remember which guys were involved in another similar thing. Tom just said he didn't know, but I don't know. I've always thought he was a good guy, but clearly he had some bad dudes around him.

Todd Leary claims to be a friend of Dusty's and he thinks Dusty wants to come back to IU.

That's a heck of a range.

Does anyone know how much Brad really does make? I've heard so many different numbers. Brad is also very religious, not in a over the top way.

Kansas fans are getting sick of Self. They're talking Pearl or McCollum, lol. NIL is the great equalizer. The blue bloods aren't going to like the more even playing field now. Personally for me, I think there are 2 coaches that I believe could win the championship above everyone else. Pitino and Pearl are what I would call a sure thing. Self is getting tired or bored at Kansas, or I would put him in that group too. I'd still prefer a younger up and coming guy.

I don't think using the example of UK having to settle for a lesser known coach is comparable to how much difficulty IU will have finding a top coach. To me, I just think most coaches did not want the UK job because following Calipari and being expected to be better than Cal was very daunting and not worth dealing with the UK fanbase. Cal set the standards of winning so high, even with his lack of tournament success in the last few years. Louisville didn't have a Cal, and they did a good job of finding a good coach. IU had Woodson and Archie. No coach is going to be intimidated coming to IU. Can you imagine? I think we'll do great in getting our guy. The bar is so low now, I mean, how can we miss this time?
