IU Hoosier41 Posted March 16, 2017 Posted March 16, 2017 Too soon for Fife. Would love for him as an assistant, think he will become a great coach, but I'd rather go for others at this point. Hoosierfan2017, ALASKA HOOSIER, Class of '66 Old Fart and 3 others 6 Quote

mark1981 Posted March 16, 2017 Posted March 16, 2017 He needs some head coaching experience firstSent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G930A using BtownBanners mobile app Quote
Stuhoo Posted March 16, 2017 Posted March 16, 2017 Already has five years as a D1 head coach. Defense, recruiting, full connection to IU, young. Reality: Will NOT be an assistant anywhere once he moves on from MSU. For me? Approved. Happydaze and Class of '66 Old Fart 2 Quote
Feathery Posted March 16, 2017 Posted March 16, 2017 Roy Williams had zero college head coaching expierence and was hired at Kansas. Quote
MoyeNeeded Posted March 16, 2017 Posted March 16, 2017 Absolutely not at this time. Needs to run a big time program before stepping into this job. Let's stay away from the Izzo tree for this one!Sent from my SM-G930P using BtownBanners mobile app Quote
Dalton26 Posted March 16, 2017 Posted March 16, 2017 I would love him as a lead assistant to take over after our next coach retires but not as our Head Coach. Pass hsrtxp, WayneFleekHoosier and Tom White 3 Quote

HoosierAloha Posted March 16, 2017 Posted March 16, 2017 Things could get interesting. Would Izzo be double pissed if his buddy Crean was fired and then we poached his associate head coach for the same position? hsrtxp 1 Quote

We need to be far more than competitive. Let the guy prove himself and work up the ladder a bit. I can't think of a riskier proposition than hiring Fife.
