    Not so much, though that’s not a positive for him. There was some belief / hope that TG would retire over the last few years, but he wasn’t of a mind to do that. So he was told it was time to go, and that’s not what he wanted or expected from his employer of 40+ years. The coaching change provided a natural time to do it, but it wasn’t the new coach’s call at all. This was 100% the AD’s decision in a belt-tightening environment.

    That’s extremely unlikely.
  3. They engaged in active discussions while he was still coaching WVU. It was several people representing IU and DD’s reps, but he had to have been involved in some way. The unusual aspect was that DD’s people made it clear they were quite willing to talk specifics early on, rather than deferring conversations until the season ended.
  4. I haven’t listened to it but what did it allegedly vindicate?
  5. He likes UM, appreciates their commitment to him, and wanted to show his in return. My understanding is that our inquiry was met quickly with a “No, thank you. He’s very happy where he is.”
  6. He said no weeks ago, and he didn’t waver on that. Realize you’re not saying otherwise, but he never put himself in play. Further, we went to Dusty’s “representative” and got the same answer. Manual was already ahead of us and talking about a new deal. DDV and his reps did something most other coaches wouldn’t do.

    All NCAA tournament games are gluten-free.

    Yes.

    Correct. He said yes, then he said no.

    I think that’s quite evident, even as he posts on this board.

    Woodson? Agree. As for hiring him, we went after a long shot that had a very low probability of success, we went to Plan B and, with that in hand, thought we were finished. When he backed away, we were hasty, overly sentimental and willing to talk ourselves into something that proved to be too optimistic.

    No, I won’t confirm or deny that.

    Dean Friedman? When were you at IU?

    You’re not aware QB attended IU?

    I framed my comments from the perspective people inside or closely associated with IU, not from your perspective.

    Quinn met plenty of IU people when he arrived in Bloomington. You remember #34, don’t you?

    It’s what I’ve consistently said since his announcement, since it’s what actually transpired.

    We actually met your freshman year at IU . . . I’m sure you remember it vividly.

    I just wanted to see if you really knew your stuff, Quinn.

    I think you might be surprised that many IU fans and friends don’t look at every half of every game and want to fire or extend the coach based on that 20 minutes of play. Most had high hopes for him, especially given all of the previous disappointments, and they’re genuinely sad that it didn’t work out for him and for the University. Not sure why people find that so odd or unbelievable.

    Was looking to see if there was genuine “for real” insight from that poster, or it was just an ad hominem attack. No need for worry.

    In which years did you attend IU?

    Not sure this is Quinn - who was nearly your Father-in-Law? Yes, this is a test.
