Why would IU want to even entertain Fitz? He was a mediocre coach at best playing in the awful west of the B1G and he has baggage. All of the allegations are pretty bad, even if they aren't true, there is enough "smoke" for other coaches to use it against him during recruiting. I'm pretty sure Tom Allen could have had the same success in the West. 9 winning seasons, and twice first in the West, one of which was a COVID year. So basically we'd be buying out a mediocre coach to get another mediocre coach with baggage At least Tom Allen was a stand up guy.
