@rcs29 $7M base + incentives and he could double his earnings. He’s only 53 so assume he has minimum 10 years left in his tank. Don't know if many men in history could turn down $75M+ before retirement

I understand your logic but he'd be leaving absolute immunity to take on a task that everyone has failed at for 24 years.

Why would Scott Drew leave a program that he’s built from the ground up the last 20 years and won a title at no less, to come take on this shitshow? The shine this job once had is long gone. We’ve been passed by so many other programs these last 20 years.

Dolson’s going to need a horse tranquilizer to get to sleep tonight. 
 

We are cursed. I’m officially convinced.

Alford.  Check mark ✔️ approved 

Coach at Indiana State.  Check mark ✔️ approved 

The Dan Fife scenario makes more and more sense.

Name the law school at Indiana after Brad’s wife. Get it done this summer. 
 

We want Brad ********* Stevens!

Why would he come here for that? He's sitting pretty as are his grandchildren. He has a good thing in Waco. No chance he comes here to take on this **** show

You have clearly never been to Waco. He should be paying us to rescue him from that godforsaken town.

It’s a fair concern as he’s only a couple years younger than Woody. But as USPS has pointed out he’s spent his entire career in the college game as opposed to taking his first college gig. And Woody seems 10 years older than he actually is. Pearl seems 10 years younger. 8-10 years of Bruce Pearl could be a helluva ride.

Don't know if anybody here remembers the Bruce Pearl-Deon Thomas incident. 

If not, here's a recap: As an Iowa assistant in the late 80s, Pearl recorded a phone conversation with Thomas, who played at Chicago Simeon and eventually was Illinois' Mr. Basketball. Just about everybody was recruiting him. Pearl got Thomas to admit he had received an offer of money and a vehicle from Illinois, then turned over the tape to the NCAA. 

Pearl has since had violations at just about every stop along the way since becoming a head coach, including having a main assistant at Auburn (former Pacer Chuck Person) arrested on bribery, fraud and conspiracy charges. 

IMO, if you're gonna rat someone out like he did with Illinois -- you need to, in turn, keep your a$$ squeaky clean. 

Pearl is a good coach and has a big personality, which is what IU needs. But I think he's a complete slimeball. My guess is Auburn is his final stop. Even though the Deon Thomas incident was over 30 years ago, I just can't see him coaching in the B1G.

I have not studied up on dusty but alot of posters on here have me scared to death. He is a gamble. Not as big of gamble as Woodson but not a proven winner yet

As someone who has been against the Woodson hire since Day 1, I couldn’t tell you a single “candidate” that gives me confidence right now.

Thanks. Did not catch the game last night. 

Good lord.

Social media continues to crap on Woodson and the programs general state. Obviously social media is what it is, but it has been interesting to see some people that were big Woodson people start to change their standing.

It was bound to happen but know one thought it would be this soon.  He’s got to turn this ship around and soon.  He does have the talent on this team to, and that’s what is the most frustrating thing is and we all know it!

It sounds like he knows what type of players he needs to fit his system, unlike our current coach.  I would be OK with him.
