But still, why not put out a retirement statement and end it? Makes no sense unless he truly believes he can get a 5th year.

I know. He’s the absolute perfect hire but for the one incident. Just literally checks every box. Bozich and Coyle both agreed that the hire absolutely has to be an alpha male. Talked about how Dusty was likely a bad fit due to that. I really worry Dolson will hire Dusty. That would be a tragic mistake imo.

Bozich also suggested that Woody is so aloof and out of touch that he probably doesn’t have a clue the situation he is in. Likely doesn’t think his seat is even warm and that’s he’s doing a good job. This is going to be an extremely ugly breakup and it didn’t have to be.

Jim Coyle was really pumping up Beard this morning. Definitely thinks he should be the guy over Dusty.

Fire away Scott

Should we expect a visit from Cathy today telling us to trust the process?

This guy.

Woodson hasn’t beaten a ranked team in almost 2 years. Wow https://x.com/ryanmcdivitt/status/1886742115020939652?s=46

Right now mamma is far from her son. If Brad takes the IU job her son transfers to IU and they wouldn’t be apart. Might be appealing to mamma. They usually miss their boys. And the daughter enrolls at BSouth and then later IU and doesn’t have to go away for college. It’s perfect Tracy!

That’s FSU basketball. They have expectations for their program unlike our administration.

He’s another Alford. Good in a smaller conference but not so much when he’s playing with the big boys.

I do wonder if Brad falls through if Dolson doesn’t make a hard push for Drew. Would seem to be the obvious #2. Goodman is tight with him and seems to think he’d be interested. I get that he seems to love Waco but he’s a Butler grad and has deep ties to Indiana. Lived in the state for over 25 years I think. He seems to have peaked at Baylor as well and maybe wants a new challenge. I can’t imagine that their NIL is much.

Well for one he’s now succeeded at multiple places. And NW Missouri St is not Dayton. Pretty sure they are crap again this year. Everyone wins at Dayton. And he doesn’t have Archie’s personality quirks. You all know what I mean.

McCollum would be a lot better but yes.

Didn’t hurt Pitino or Cal.

Nah. Stevens is a lot more like Coach K. I’m sure Dusty is an extremely nice guy and that’s a lot of the problem.

I think he’s a bad fit. But I also think he’s the most likely hire unfortunately.

Could also be the first time since the Knight firing that our AD is able to go out do a search and make a hire on his own without a bunch of mindless bureaucrats meddling in the process. I am very optimistic this time if we don’t hire Dusty.

I do think it will absolutely be Brad or bust. Not because I don’t think there are other good coaches we could get but I’m certain Dusty is the #2 and I doubt he says no. I think he would be a really bad hire for IU. Just doesn’t have the chops or the personality to succeed here imo. UM which is a football school is a much better fit for Dusty. IU is way too much of a fishbowl.

Depends how the negotiations go and who they ultimately hire. Surely they know by now that they can’t just let Brad jerk them around for 2 weeks after the season ends. If he has genuine interest a deal will be made quickly. But yes, if it ends up being another Charlie Brown going for the football situation and we end up with Shrews or someone similar then the **** will hit the fan.

He’s exactly who Woodson would want to take over so I actually believe him.

Shrews would be an absolute disaster here I assure you all. Hopefully he’s not considered.

@Chris007 accurate?
