Per Rothstein, Michigan is working on an extension on Dusty

He's a week late.  I saw that news circulating a week ago.

This is what I hit to refresh while waiting for Godot.  

The game engine?

It’s kind of hilarious watching a University preach about morality and ethics all while hiring a man for likely the most important job at the University who wasn’t remotely qualified for that job and was only hired because he was good buddies with the chair of the BOT all while stealing millions of dollars from Indiana taxpayers.  Hilarious.

I'm not laughing.

And what is posited in the above post is not necessarily accepted by many.

Coach Woodson needs to go.  We agree on that.

Hindsight says he never should have been hired.  We agree on that.

I'm not going into the ethics thing.  Alumni voted the trustees in.  The IU administration hired the guy.

Seems to me not an ethics thing.  Seems more who do you know.  That is the way it is without a written and adopted formal procedure.

Mick Cronin is inevitable. Lol.

Maybe Buzz Williams.

Hopefully McDermott or McCasland, if that's possible. 

I don't think Oats, Drew, Beard, Otz, etc. are on the table. 

During the football search, don't think many of us were talking about Cig other than Lebowski. 

Wonder if the basketball hire comes out of left field too. Hopefully in a similarly good way if so.

I don’t think this is indicative of anything. I wouldn’t worry about it.

This is going to be really hard to stomach in almost every scenario... exercising patience. We'll see how this goes.

Get over it. Beard will not be the coach and it would be an awful fit off the court. 

Oh, but the fit on the court...oooh baby!

I would rather have Collins if we can’t have Brad or Dusty. He’s a really good coach in my opinion.

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.

Sam Webb? If he said a gut feeling it means it’s a done deal and waiting for public announcement. I wouldn’t believe anyone but Sam. He is the unofficial Michigan athletic department mouthpiece.

Sick. I’m out. Get it right, Scott.

Expected but disappointing nonetheless. 
 

Really hope the media that bashed the fanbase last year for wanting Woody gone brings the same energy for the administration that let a native son go somewhere else and brought him back.

Thought they were doing that a week ago?

BRAD!!  Get home!  If we don't have Dusty as a back up,  I'm sure we'll get someone great.  I hope.

[Solsberryberries 80]

Screw it-  pay the buyout.  If BS is no, and May really is our #1 then you pay the buyout.  I thought Michigan was going to cover for our HUGE mistake of not hiring him last year by the crappy contract they gave him, but it sounds like they’re going to make us pay. If we’re paying for a 15mil Tom Allen buyout then you bite the bullet for the future and pay it.

Makes me feel like a decision has been made…

[IUHAHN81 2,811]

All eyes on you Scottie D! Get er' done! 

[mdiu28 2,328]

Dusty signed a 10 year deal at FAU in 2023. 

Need to see the details to determine in this is anything but damn - it sucks being an IU fan. We put Woody's feelings over winning. Dusty should be our head coach RIGHT NOW.
