If Glass attempted to put a slide in our football facility he would be eviscerated for putting children’s playground equipment in an adult area.

Walking Boot of Doom Posted October 13, 2019 Posted October 13, 2019 The level of overall luxury comes to mind and the size of the players’ lounge. The film rooms are much nicer and larger. Illinois’ new facility has a bowling alley. Clemson has a slide, basketball courts, fire pit, and horseshoe set up. IU offers none of those amenities, just the bare minimum.Hold up. This is all about a bowling alley and slides on a playground? Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app mamasa and woodenshoemanHoosierfan 2 Quote

Walking Boot of Doom Posted October 14, 2019 Posted October 14, 2019 17 minutes ago, Iugradman said: Yeah, let’s mock the facilities of the best college football program in the country that has won two of the last three championships. IU should go the bare minimum approach because that has worked so well. If IU wants to win at a high level maybe it should emulate the top programs. Just a thought. As for Illinois, I applaud the effort they have put into winning. They have made a clear financial commitment to the program, something IU still doesn’t do at an acceptable level. How many serious programs would hire Kane Wommack as defensive coordinator? He came cheap. That’s why he got the job. Clemson’s DC makes more than Tom Allen. Care to share the numbers of the clear financial commitment? And, how is that paying off? "It’s Year 4. After a 40-17 loss Saturday at Minnesota, the Illini are 11-30 overall and 4-25 in Big Ten games on Smith’s watch." https://chicago.suntimes.com/2019/10/6/20901448/lovie-smith-illinois-college-football-experiment-isnt-working thebigweave 1 Quote

We all know that sports aren’t the priority at IU like it is at some schools. You can blame glass, you can blame mcrobbie or both but we don’t and some are ok with that and some aren’t. Under these two the basketball program has sucked and football program has sucked. Not much argument to the contrary. One can argue that both are trending up but again, that is still tbd and all we know is history and glass and mcrobbie have been wildly unsuccessful with these two programs. It is crazy to ignore their history here and that alone is enough to be skeptical that this all works out well for us in the end.

mdn82 Posted October 14, 2019 Posted October 14, 2019 Glass is so bad at his job that people openly admit that at this point it's his bosses fault for not firing the guy or holding him accountable. Nah I think you are twisting what people are saying. They wouldn’t want him to choose the next AD if it were to happen. Kind of like you guys don’t want Fred Glass selecting another coach if he has to fire another coach. Wee bit different than your interpretation. Edit: There are many reasons beyond Glass people want McRobbie gone. Oversimplification of this does nothing really. If you want an Athletic Department with more of a focus on winning you would want change higher up too. It has more to do with an attitude or approach to everything. We don’t McRobbie explicitly gone due to our programs not winning like they should. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app thebigweave and mamasa 2 Quote

I'm not sure it's his boss's fault for not holding him accountable as much as that he doesn't care or is happy with where they are. I've heard many say that Glass has to fight tooth and nail for everything he gets. McRobbie doesn't see the value productive sports teams give to the University. Quote

But that hasn't happened yet and I think archie is a good coach. Cant argue the results have been terrible and embarrassing and I am confused by it. Guess I don't know crap about a good and bad coach lolSent from my SM-G960U using BtownBanners mobile app Josh 1 Quote
