I'd love to see Dane get a big gig somewhere... not sure MSU is the place... and there's always the tendency to clean house after a scandal, so perhaps he'll be looking for a job... I am not implying in any way, shape or form that Dane is dirty or has done anything wrong, but if there's a culture of abuse/violations/dirt at MSU (or any school, for that matter), there seems to be a tendency to paint the entire staff with that same brush.

RatpigHoosier Posted February 28, 2018 Posted February 28, 2018 It appears the consensus is that Izzo is destined to become Wuzzo. Will Fife get or want the job?I have mixed feelings about this. My initial thought was why wouldn't he want this job? It's arguably a top 10 job, the peripheral stuff notwithstanding. But just a few moments more thought into it made me think he should run for the hills if they offered it. He would be following a legend, dirty or not. If you've read "Following the General" you can easily see the traps in that. As Steve Alford said, I would think Dane wouldn't want to replace Izzo, he would want to be the one who replaces the one who replaced Izzo. That thought has a lot of merit. Finally, a jump to MSU HC when his last HC job was at Ft Wayne would come with several built-in concerns, mainly fighting an uphill battle from jump street because so many fans will automatically feel like he isn't qualified. That would be a really tough spot for him but I would root for him to succeed every step of the way....well, except for a couple games a year against his alma mater......Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app thebigweave and Class of '66 Old Fart 2 Quote
Whojainjawja Posted February 28, 2018 Posted February 28, 2018 Lord only knows what big name coaches will come out of the investigation unscathed. The fact there are 20+ coaches and schools possibly involved could potentially move the available coaches poll into a sweepstakes. Then again, this could turn out to be more about players eligibility, and the coaches taking a, "I wasn't aware" attitude. I am with the Izzo can't survive the tsunami headed his way crowd. ESPN will be his next employer. Quote
pumpfake Posted February 28, 2018 Posted February 28, 2018 The following a legend issue is a big one, IMO. Very rarely is the first or even second successor to a "legendary" coach successful enough to last more than a couple of seasons. It looks like we'll be seeing this at UL, maybe MSU, and eventually at NC and Duke. As to Fife, I'm probably in the minority and hold an unpopular opinion about him. It still sticks in my craw that he was one of the most vocal about demanding that Mike Davis be made the permanent (not interim) coach in that first post-RMK season. Iugradman 1 Quote
GloryDays Posted February 28, 2018 Posted February 28, 2018 I have no idea if Fife is directly involved either, but is it plausible to be on the staff and not at least know what is going on? Guilt by association sucks, but there it is. Seems hard to believe he wouldn't at least have knowledge of it. Does anyone think David Padgett was totally unaware at Louisville? Hes still there and may end up keeping that job. Sent from my LGL41C using BtownBanners mobile app Quote

cthomas Posted February 28, 2018 Posted February 28, 2018 Izzo could run off to the NBA to make it look like he is just pursuing a new challenge and never admit anything. I'm sure he could find a spot somewhere. Quote

Izzo is one of these coach k types that people like vitale think walk on water.Sent from my SM-J700T using Tapatalk Quote

darB s'tI Posted March 14, 2018 Posted March 14, 2018 Was speaking with some friends recently, and isn't it ironic that this just "went away" for Izzo & Company, yet again? Believably unbelievable. Key staff surrounding the golden boy all fired, yet Izzo remains standing. Lord help the ladies involved (and their fathers) who now know sports trumps all. If this were 99% of other schools, a full house cleaning would have been done. Makes my blood boil to know they get away with this ****. Deserthoozier, Iugradman and WayneFleekHoosier 3 Quote

I predicted when it happened izzo was not and will not go anywhere. They let it all blow over because winning is all that matters and why college bball is a cesspool that will not be cleaned up. That being said I hope izzo loses in the first game. He deserves it.Sent from my SM-J700T using Tapatalk darB s'tI 1 Quote
