Not everyone's built for the rigors of an extended coaching search, I'm afraid.

That was my first impression. There are other words I won't use in polite company except to say that he seems desperate to sound like an authority on the topic.

Yes. Combined. Also, this is a coach ranking, not a school ranking. So, it will include Otz's time at UNLV and South Dakota St. for example. It's not a perfect picture into a coach's ability, but like you said, there are some trends to be gleaned.

Also a huge thanks as a new guy to everyone who shares what they know and what they're hearing. I'm not a huge poster but I'll share any data I put together like the coach rankings.

Rabby's made his bed with them and he's suffering the consequences now. Totally frozen out of the athletic department source-wise. He still gets some good recruiting info because of his ties to the in-state AAU and HS circuit. He's toast otherwise and the frustration is starting to show on his board.

Thanks for the welcome. Wanted to share some data I put together using Torvik. Here are the rankings for a bunch of the coaches I've seen mentioned for the IU job among *active* coaches across 3 time frames: since the 07-08 season (as far back as Torvik goes), since the 21-22 season (NIL era, also since Woodson was hired) and this season. Lots of caveats apply: this is just team efficiency and doesn't take into account tournament success for example. Also, I pulled this data across the past week or so and the rankings may have shifted very slightly.

Bingo. It's not established as a 501(c)3 and Eric is almost certainly paying himself a nice salary to "administer" the collective. It's gross.

Hey folks. Peegs refugee here saying hi (got banned for pointing out how shady the HH "collective" is). Been lurking for a couple weeks. Vibes are way better over here.
