I don't agree. 

Ok. How about "more successful"? 

Because the numbers are pretty telling.

Latest from Jeff Rabjohns: 

I’m told an announcement today is unlikely, but still could happen. Some soft chatter that if it’s not today, it will be either tomorrow, Thursday, or after the next coach is done in the tournament. I’m still following up on that with a few other people though.

You had me. I was getting progressively angrier with each word. Well played.

Edited the post to clarify - that was a joke guys, sorry, lol. I should know better than to do that on a day like today :)

if the next guy shows that he's working his @$$ off no matter what it won't be toxic at all

Here’s what I got. I think our next coach will be the “mystery candidate” mentioned my Goodman. I’m not fully ready to say it’s Brad but not fully ready to say it’s not. I do believe it’s a big name. Not sold on devries, I know he’s the coach of the day. That’s what I got for now.

If i am devries no way I am taking the iu job. He doesn't have the overall fan support. A year similar to the one he just had will get him so much heat he will be ready to leave bloomington next march. No way I would want that.

That is the false narrative that IU fans don't give coaches a chance before turning on them. People were very patient with Crean and many still don't count the first three years. Miller and Woodson were given over two years before the grumbling really started. With any coach, there is that small minority which are unhappy from the start.

Maybe. But a big source of the heat on Woodson were the facts that he behaved like an utter j******, simply refused to do many aspects of his job, and intentional drove an enormous wedge between the players and fans because his narcissistic personality refused to accept that he was the reason why the team failed. You’ve got guys like TJD referring to the fans as trolls and pretending like Woodson was some kind of martyr for taking the job no one wanted him to have.

If DD were to behave like a normal person and recruit likable players those two things alone would take off some heat.

Thank you Captain Obvious (Rabby not Home Jersey). Could this all be hinging on Woodson’s retirement being finalized or did that happen yesterday?

Stu is telling you Iowa has had more success in the Fran era than we've had in the last umpteen eras. He never said it was a better job. Just trying to help differentiate, and also help some people in here see that there's a legitimate reason we could be competing with Iowa for a coach. People act like we're competing with Penn State rather than a program that for several years has been more successful than ours.

No it wont.  Woodson did not have so much heat after year one.  

Agree. The new coach doesn’t have to win big right away but the key to keeping the fanbase happy is good coaching, players improving, E&E from both the players and staff, using the portal as well as building foundations with high school recruiting etc. Those things buy you time

Fresca is the most underrated mixer in history.

The mystery candidate mentioned by Goodman is his fallback when he missed all his other proclamations

Really? They’ve been a protected seed once since Alford was there. 0 conf titles. One tourney title since then. 
 

Any time before that and you start having to figure in our titles and FF’s. 
 

Fran’s their longest serving coach since dr tom and he’s never made a S16

Where's Chris007, Jerry, and RTZ???  Want to hear their thoughts.

They have already shared their opinions.  At this point I kind of feel like they are going to find out if they were right around the same time as the rest of us.
