Dude, pointing out that Miller sucks isn't some defense of Woodson. Miller was a terrible coach. In 4 years under him, we saw a bunch of the same stuff as under Woodson, except with less talent (thus lower potential to actually be good) and 2 fewer trips to the NCAAT. Woodson is better than Miller. Extremely low bar so saying that doesn't mean that I'm saying Woodson is a good coach. He's not.

Ethan Morton and Matt Cross were also priority targets for him. He isn't a very good evaluator of talent so he'd have just wasted money on bad players.

I knew I was setting myself up with that sentence. Any interpretation is true, though. lol

Limp mode is the worst. I experienced that driving home from work a few months ago. On a freeway. Going 70+ along with all the other cars around me. I got off the freeway then drove all the way to the dealership like that. Sucked so bad. I upgraded my AAA from 5 mile tow to 100 miles because of that. Don't forget 66-0 and IU will be in the CFP.

Yeah, I believe it was posted on this site a while back. Spring or summer. It's probably in this thread somewhere. Edit: did a quick search. Here it is:

I was thinking when I saw that news that he'll get a release from CU and look at UCLA now. lol

He had some insane numbers as a sophomore. 2800+ yards passing, 32 TD to 6 Int, 61% completion rate, over 1000 yards rushing, 12 rushing TD. Came back to earth this year but still decent numbers. It would be exciting to see what Cig and company could do with him.

Yep, this was expected after the season IU just had. Even with others signing new contracts, I'd be surprised if he's the only one targeted. CCC obviously knows how to identify and hire good assistant coaches so I'm confident we'll get a good replacement.

I partially agree with you but he did recruit Bud Mackey. I think it was overblown and made to be worse than it actually was but there were some issues there.

Better yet, use the jet to bring the Carmel club to Bloomington.

Did Dickinson at least manage to not kick someone in the face this game? "Kory" lol

Yeah, him too. I mentioned Mullins because he supposedly saw a practice with IU's "new" and "improved" offense with more outside shooting before deciding he didn't want to play in it.

I expect we'll start to see IU's class rankings start to improve.

God, I'm so sick of the SEC whining. What a bunch of twats.

The "new" offense looks a lot like the old offense. It's a mystery why Mullins chose UConn over IU.

It really is annoying, especially since those same people think a team like Alabama absolutely deserves to be in despite loosing to 6-6 Vanderbilt and getting blown out by 6-6 Oklahoma 24-3. They also ignore other teams with weak schedules like Texas, PSU, ND, SMU.

For S&G I went and looked back at some of the preseason predictions. Good stuff. When it came to IU, many of them were "just a bit outside," like Vaughn in Major League. A couple of the worst. Only 15 spots off for IU: https://athlonsports.com/college-football/big-ten-football-2024-predictions#gid=ci02e10e3b700025c7&pid=big-ten-football-2024-predictions https://bleacherreport.com/articles/10132265-big-ten-football-preview-and-predictions-for-2024-season Slightly better at 16th: https://www.si.com/college/michigan/football/predicting-every-big-ten-football-team-s-record-in-2024-michigan-ohio-state-washington-usc-ucla-iowa-oregon-wisconsin-illinois-indiana-michigan-state A bit better. They at least had IU as one of the most underrated teams, yet none of them picked IU higher than 11th: https://www.cbssports.com/college-football/news/big-ten-expert-picks-2024-most-overrated-and-underrated-teams-projected-order-of-finish-bold-predictions/

You should talk to @Class of '66 Old Fart since I remember him threatening a while back to ban people for talking about a certain Butler ex-coach.

Overpaying him in the process. Then they turned around and gave him a raise simply for not being Archie Miller even though there was no risk of him leaving.

I may be remembering incorrectly or possibly CCC was being coy and not giving out more info than he needed to but didn't CCC pretty much say that neither Rourke or TJ had really separated themselves from the other in the spring and preseason practices? I do remember he didn't announce a starter until close to the first game.

I want Clemson to win to knock Alabama out of the CFP. The tears of all these SEC shills would be sweet. They're getting very annoying now, like mosquitoes buzzing in my ears. I do love all the comments thrashing the article and its author.

I count 5 games if they don't have a bye.

Shrewsberry is a proven power conference coach? Yes, it's proven that he's had jobs in power conferences, a whopping 3 years and change at 2 schools. Proven that he can win big or even consistently in a power conference? No, not even close. He did decent at Penn State considering how bad they usually are. Still only won 54.4% of his games there overall and 42.5% of Big Ten games (highest finish was 9th). At Notre Dame he's won 40.5% of his games overall and 35% of his ACC games. I just don't understand the lovefest this guy gets on this board. He hasn't spent more than 2 years at any head coaching job yet and hasn't done a great job at any of them since the best he did was a decent job at PSU. A terrible record at IUSB (23.8%). It's extremely clear he isn't a guy that can turn a program around quickly, much less whether he can turn one around at all. He'd be a nightmare hire since even if he's not winning in year 3 people would be saying that he just needs more time based on his previous jobs. Potential only but hasn't shown he can reach that potential.

I've wondered before about how someone so thin-skinned survived as HC in NY. I have come to believe that it's because he's completely oblivious to those who aren't in his immediate circle.

Yeah, it was kind of weird. Maybe they were trying to get an open shot for a specific player or maybe the ones passing up the open shots weren't the best shooters. I know the current IU team couldn't make that many passes in a single possession. They'd turn it over before they got anywhere close.
