Last time I was told to sit back and relax, I ended up in a bath tub full of ice in Tijuana with one kidney. Hope this time it’s a better outcome.

Athletic Director a "middle man" for the department he is the director? I will go further, Whitten, who is his actual boss should have provided interference for Dolson. That is the job of the chief executive. The board should not be dictating the actions of a director level employee. I think we all agree on that. Good leadership does not do that. They trust who they have hired. 

Again, for the third time, I am not saying our administration is not a mess with outsized power given to those who should not have it, but Pam and Scott are not helpless lackeys either. I tend to believe if he and Pam really wanted to fight it, Woody could have been canned last season. Merely my opinion, but because the grand slam "Brad hire" was not there, they did not want to risk their careers on Dusty. That now looks like a MASSIVE mistake, and my guess is Scott regrets not forcing the issue. 

I will pose a reason you should hope that I am right. If Dolson and Whitten were completely helpless, and had 0% power in any decision making for the Woody era, we should be terrified about the next hire.

Dolson being a puppet and AD in name only four years ago would not magically stop being true because of a football hire no one cared about at the time or Woodson ineptitude. If things like the HH meeting are really true (I hope it was hyperbole in part), we should be very concerned with how this goes if Brad is a no again. In my experience, puppet directors being micromanaged by folks above their supervisor do not suddenly get full control after having none. Hence, I have to believe he was against a Woody fourth year or Woody hire, and could have risked his neck but ultimately signed off on it for it to happen in the interest of self-preservation. 

Interesting debate for sure. Cheers.

Yeah, I just have a very hard time believing that he went from being completely powerless 11 months ago to being in “full control” now. Maybe it’s true that he was powerless, but if it was true, why believe this year will be Dolson’s decision alone?

Perhaps the success of the Cig hire and simultaneous departure of QB have given him better footing.

It’s all probably meaningless but the one thing I don’t logically understand is forcing Woodson to retire when we still may have had a chance at making the tournament. I really don’t think you do that unless you have your guy lined up, and if your guy is locked up he probably isn’t coaching at the moment. I’m sure there are trivial reasons, such as not fans not booing, but still doesn’t make much sense to me. And then obviously our insiders shared what they were hearing which made us all feel optimistic, but for me it was their comments coupled with the logic of the overall timing that made the possibility of Stevens plausible, and it’s why I haven’t fully given up even if that makes me crazy.
 
Excited to see what this week brings, but firmly comfortable with Stevens and May, of course, as options 1 and 2.
 
Doubt Drew, Few, TJ, Wright, Oats, Lloyd, or Pearl are in play. Beard isn’t happening.
 
McDermott and McClasland are both extremely intriguing and would probably be my next calls.
 
I probably differ from other posters but I would likely put Collins in right here.
 
Cronin I guess would be solid but I would almost personally take a stab at McCollum and Byington last, leaning slightly toward Byington.
 
And of course, the one thing we can all agree on here is that Brownell would be a lazy and sad hire.

Of course, the reasons that Woodson being forced to retire with 8 games to go could be simply because Mike Woodson sucks as a coach, is lazy, is arrogant, thinks he’s doing his job, should never have been hired and absolutely should have been cut loose last year. He’s been absolutely horrible as both a coach and a leader.

Brad Pitt would be better than Mike Woodson.

Brooooo I'm supposed to be going to bed. You're killing me. 

But if I have to be the sacrifice to make Brad a reality then so be it. For the Glory of Old IU!
