The Rabjohns of the Michigan message boards says he thinks there is a 99.9% chance that Dusty is back at Michigan next season. I’m guessing he’ll sign that extension soon if he hasn’t already.

If he's anything like our Rabjohns he doesn't know much :) I think we're not going to know much for while, right?

Congrats on kid #3 --

and welcome to your new zone defense household -- floor leadership strategies include delegating as many tasks to the wife as possible, playing good cop to your wife's bad cop, and back cutting to your mancave / TV refuge as often as possible

Appreciate it and completely agree with what you said lol. However, I would also add “I’m going to the bathroom” and lock myself in their for 30 mins :)

Sure as hell feels like that's the direction we are headed.

You would think Michigan would want to broadcast it ASAP if/when it happens.

Apparently Self seriously considered the Ok State job last year. Wouldn’t be shocked if he wanted a change of scenery after this season.

So far today we've hired and fired Stevens, May, Beard and hired Cronin.

Man, some of you rise and fall with every post. I get this is a free message board, but, wow, some of you seem to be real gullible.
Thanks for the laughs.

It doesn’t need to get to Cronin or Buzz. Don’t go from option A/B to F.

I'm so disappointed I missed Kathy C's recent drive-by -- though I think it was all in the Woody is fired channel (although according to her, the plans to "retire" were completely of his volition). 

My process failed me.

I don't disagree necessarily but who is on your shortlist ahead of them other than Stevens/May?

Man, if Dusty DOES sign an extension, Dolson better REALLY have his crap together. I'm personally over "decent" coaches roaming our sideline. I don't expect a championship every year but I DO expect to make the tournament every year. Not 2 out of 3 years...EVERY YEAR! 

It may not just be Dolson's fault.  If the guys on his list give him a hard no, no matter what the offer, it is out of his hands.  This is a very possible scenario.

We will have a very good coach next year, not worried one bit.  Everyone, well most everyone, will be happy.  Just be patient.

He was quoted as he only gave advice for the job, not that he was interested in it. He hasn't spent a night in Stillwater unless they've played there. Who can blame him though? Stillwater looks terrible.

I don’t think May says “no.” But if he does, I’m Beard and Drew. Yes, the university would need to do its due diligence on Beard, but let them do it. He’s a coach that would win here. 
Sadly, a Buzz or Cronin hire and we could be  back here in 3-5 years

[Hoosierfanyuh 7,050]

You would have to assume Dolson prepared for all of this considering he went through with the mid season “retiring” plan. Big trust

Jeezus his buyout doesn't go down till April 1st if IU still doesn't have a coach the last week of March I shudder to think what these boards will look like LOL CHOAS

You have infinitely more confidence in Scott Dolson than I do. 

I applaud you.

Well if it's not Bruce or Beard, let alone Stevens or Billy D, then it's a failure iMO.

Hiring a "potential" coach would be disappointing, considering we just wasted the last four years when we could've done potential then. 

Not true.

There are truly fantastic choices that aren’t them. And the alternative would be Woodson.
