I would have accepted, “I go to bed every night wishing I hadn’t sat on an open scholarship.” This answer, however, is a joke.

10000%

I’m not gonna doom. This game didn’t do anything to prove that CMW should be the coach moving forward. We won at home after blowing a 15 point lead to a flailing Wiscy team. If the admin are looking for reasons to save a sub-par coach they’ll need to do better than that. The first loss next year will be start an avalanche of negativity. Imho CMW has to win several games including games we have no business winning.

How much would a win tonight set back our new coach hopes?

First, I want change as much as anyone. HOWEVER when it comes to the things we LOVE the MOST it’s really easy to criticize and complain about those who we feel are letting us down. So, I’ve felt convicted. CMW has a tough job. Many of the miscues are of his own doing, BUT I suspect there are LOTS factors that have been out of his control. Perhaps he prideful (many high-achievers are). Maybe he’s out of his depth (I’ve been there before). Maybe he needs wisdom… we all do. With that said I’d encourage you to pray for CMW. I don’t think that means you have to want him to continue being the coach, but I do think that keeps things in perspective. He is a professional and he hasn’t produced the way he should. BUT he’s also a man, and all of us could use the prayer— especially him. Not only that— praying for HIM will keep US from falling prey to the arrogance and pride that some have sensed in him. No need to reply. Just food for thought from one Hoosier to the rest.

I just listened to Diporiak on ISBR and he thinks there’s too much risk I’m moving on from CMW This year. I hear this nonsense and I want to smack my head against the corner of my kitchen table.

Maybe Cronin in 1b or 1c?

You can count on me. But when I go radio-silent that could be a tell… to everyone else

When CMW is let go— how will we find out about it? Who do you suspect will be the first to break the story?

I’m not sure Bozich said it. I think the author of the link you used inferred it from Bozich and other sources.

More please.

I wish

I saw Pitino’s name in the Schutte article, but didn’t in the Bozich one.

Interestingly, I didn’t see the Bozich article ever mention Pitino. After Steven’s and Matta it says, “Other names who are believed to be under consideration are Texas Tech coach Chris Beard, former Michigan coach John Beilein; Pacers assistant coach Calbert Cheaney; Baylor coach Scott Drew; Eric Musselman of Arkansas and Michigan State assistant coach Dane Fife, a former IU player.”

Pitino turned us down? Can you share the article you referenced?

Can someone help me understand why Todd Leary is on with Jim Coyle pointing out all of the team’s OBVIOUS insufficiencies but following his criticism by saying “CMW isn’t going anywhere and I don’t want a new coach bc there’s no home run hire out there and I don’t want to start over.” He on the payroll? Help me understand.

Spot on assessment

Listened to the HH Emergency podcast and it sounds like Evans thinks Woodson won’t be the coach next year. He says he’s got no inside info, but doesn’t see it happening. About the 1:23:00 mark https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/emergency-podcast-brian-evans/id1609450696?i=1000646459111

Anyone have a link?

I wish someone would just post the gist of what was said

I’d say Pearl is unlikely, BUT imho he checks the most boxes that matter. A few other quality options, but he’s be the biggest get for me.

Hahahahahaha I’d take one for the team. If I survived I’d want some of that NIL money tho.

I never said I’d taken them out of their box ;)

I’d dive into pool of razor blades to get Pearl. He’s done very well with less talent and at football schools. I’d take six years of his passion and intensity any day of the week.

CMW appears to be the hump we must get over
