My wife and kids have said the same thing. They would not allow me to put myself through that. Put the ego aside and let us still separate the player from the coach.

Retire tomorrow after a "great" road win, for health reasons. If the interim turns it around and wins out, he'll take credit for getting them over the hump/OSU. If they continue losing, he was just getting them over the hump/OSU. Win-Win. I'm in the camp of him not coaching in Bloomington again. His friends and family should not allow him to let his legacy be destroyed.

Sounds like a ringing endorsement for either Ya or Kenya. Auditioning for a position elsewhere, means we will get the best version of either. Win-Win Because there's no way in hell, either one is auditioning for this job. I'm sure that would be mentioned in the first 5 minutes of the conversation.

Great post! Everyone's arrived at the same place, just at different times.

Paul Westhead and Dabo Swinney come to mind. Your excuses for not firing immediately, don't hold water. There is not one Fortune 500 company that holds on to an incompetent upper management employee until the next fiscal year.(unless there's corruption) Not sure what your position is, or length of tenure is, but maybe you are part of the problem in the administration as well. Your "optics" argument is laughable and embarrassing.

Yes. Pre NIL and post NIL

Correct

Wouldn't that leave one on one matchups in the post? Not many bigs are stopping Ballo on the block.(or Malik for that matter).

Usually if you're playing mop up minutes, it's not anywhere close to 15+ minutes

Agree completely! But damn his teams were fun to watch. All he needed was a good defensive coordinator, NIL, and a good personal assistant with great organizational skills.

Not an endorsement, but damn his teams were fun to watch! And apparently, Sugarcane Monroe agrees.

Elitist mentality! These people are truly despicable. One week they yell from the top of their lungs about SOS. Then when the metrics changed, they moved on to the "my dad can beat up your dad" argument. With their logic, let's add 3 loss Illinois to conversation. After all, they did beat a team (Kansas) who went on a 3 game W streak against ranked opponents. lol

Looks like Striplen had a good game as well. Agree on replacing Sara. Both her and Shay are definitely built from the same mold. Fearless.

Our corporate model was a biannual internal eNPS. All employees remained anonymous and filled out a net promoter score. Overall employee satisfaction, criticism, and areas of improvement. Then we broke it down into the department management and their teams. Great indicator of how our leaders were performing, based on the views from their own personnel. Maybe Dolson should conduct one of these, and see where things actually stand internally.
