Absolutely. I hope he might be offered (and interested in) coming back in some capacity when a change is made.

Everything you have posted here is absolutely true. But as an alum and a fan, I want what's best for the program. We lost a guy that knows more about recruiting than the head coach. That can't be good for the program, and it says something pretty damning about the head coach.

I think the staff made quite a statement as it is. They told a 5-star QB that we’re tired of messing around and we’ll win without him. People will take note of that.

Agree….although I do think Tennessee has a great defense. I feel like I’ve been pretty conservative and unbiased, as IU has won by a bigger margin than I’ve predicted in 7 of the 9 games. And that’s with me thinking IU is about #5 right now.

There’s no way they should be above us. Their defense is…maybe…slightly better than ours. Their offense isn’t in the same stratosphere as ours.

Jack Tuttle is retiring from football after numerous injuries and recently suffering his fifth concussion.

I don’t think that stays in you long enough to gain weight, lol.

People can say what they want, but I think it’s disingenuous for people like Desmond Howard and Kirk Herbstreit, who both picked us to lose today, to come back next week and say we haven’t played anybody. I mean, if you picked us to lose, you must have thought we played a good team.

My son is a student at IU and Mark Deal is teaching one of his classes next semester.

Agree on Anderson. And the 91-92 team he was a part of has always seemed under-appreciated to me, even though they made the Final Four. They had the Big 10 title stolen from them by the officials in a late-season game at Purdue, then, of course, TV Ted stole a National Championship from them in the Duke game. I will always believe they were the best team in the country that year.

Technically, we’re tied for 2nd, so that’s even better, lol.

Well, I’ll share my perspective on it. I’m not on Twitter, and I’m not really a Woodson defender. I wanted him gone last year for not only on-court performance but for things I heard happened off the court. But I’m not going to bash him on message boards constantly because I don’t think that does any good. Regarding the Trillys of the world—my son and several of his friends were recruited high school athletes over the past 2 years or so. Now, I’m here and certainly a consumer of the rumors, but the notion that someone absolutely knows where a kid is going to college weeks and months before he announces is nonsense. The kids themselves don’t even know. Family members don’t know. Sometimes they think they know, and then they get more information or more offers, or a lot of times they just simply change their mind for whatever reason. If it’s a couple days before a set announcement day and they’re letting their decision leak, then yeah, people probably know.

If I’m Scott Dolson, when Woodson’s done at IU and if Dusty’s been successful at Michigan, I’m going to call Dusty. Whether Dusty says yes or not is something I’ll let you speculate about.

I was just going to post the same thing. Dolson's first box to check with the Cig hire was successful experience running a program. Of course, spending a few days talking to these guys in interviews reveals a lot that we don't know. Winning at programs that don't typically win usually reveals a lot. If Schertz wins at Saint Louis, I would think he'd be at the top of the list. If Dusty wins at Michigan, he'll be right there, too.

I bet he’d change his pick the day before it was actually announced. :)

Player's Perspective: Curt Cignetti - YouTube This is excellent. Best interview of Cignetti I've seen. They even address whether he will want to leave after he builds success here.

I think this is reasonable, and I would add compete for or win the Big Ten tournament. No reason to keep embarrassing ourselves almost every year in that event.

Dayton appears to be doing just fine without him.

I can’t see this, but I saw a picture of him a few days ago and thought the same thing.
